Wedding Coordinator

**About Us**:
Rowton Castle is a family-owned wedding venue located in the Shropshire countryside, not far from the market town of Shrewsbury. We love what we do and have had the pleasure of helping thousands of couples get married over the last 20 years - we genuinely want for our couples to have the best wedding day, and it shows.

**The Role**:
As a wedding coordinator you will guide, advise, and support couples throughout their wedding planning journey.

Just to say, although you will not be required to run the wedding day from start to finish, you will be on hand and available to the operations team as required (expect around 16 hours per week).

The wedding team is small, and the role diverse. Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Managing incoming enquires
- Setting up meetings and assisting with the preparation of sales-related materials
- Delivering client showaround appointments
- Writing quotations
- Conducting planning meetings with couples to go through details of the wedding day
- Creating and updating paperwork that details the couples wedding plans (you will be asked to follow a set standard of procedure)
- Liaising with suppliers, and the kitchen and food & beverage departments to coordinate plans / seek solutions
- Assisting with the set up on the wedding day
- Hosting (in a warm and welcoming manner) at wedding experience and open house events
- Driving sales revenue and ensuring that financial targets are achieved

Do be aware that only one hire will be made for this position and given the nature of the business a degree of flexibility will be required to cover evenings and weekends.
- Thrive in a customer-facing environment - you are friendly, a real people person
- Have a passion for exceeding guest expectation
- Be able to demonstrate ability for accuracy and thoroughness - attention to detail really is key
- Have great customer service skills and an approachable sales attitude
- Possess immaculate presentation standards
- Enjoy being part of a supportive team

You will need to be confident with Outlook, Word - and IT in general.

Experience with Rezlynx's Conference & Banqueting manager (or similar) would be a bonus but is not essential, as full training will be provided.
