Full job description

Help us create unforgettable moments — and ensure every guest leaves as a friend.

The Wisteria Hotel is a warm, independent family run boutique hotel in the heart of Oakham. We pride ourselves on genuine hospitality, strong community roots, and exceptional service. We’re now looking for an enthusiastic, organised and people-focused Weddings & Events Executive to help grow our Weddings & Events business and deliver memorable experiences from first enquiry to final farewell.

Why Join Us?

This is a dynamic, hands-on role blending event sales, planning & operations. You’ll shape the guest journey, represent our brand at weddings and showcases, and bring special moments to life for couples, companies, and event organisers.

You’ll also play a key part in helping us achieve our Mission:
“Guests arriving as our guests & leaving as our friends”,
and our Vision of being Rutland’s service leader & first-choice boutique hotel.

What You’ll Do:

Event Sales & Planning

  • Handle wedding & event enquiries, quotes, planning, and show rounds
  • Achieve Weddings & Events sales targets
  • Manage corporate event accounts and CRM updates
  • Prepare final details meetings and create accurate function sheets
  • Christmas booking administration

On-the-Day Event Delivery

  • Run weddings & events, including guest welcome, supplier liaison, and team supervision
  • Coordinate food service with the kitchen
  • Pre-book casual staff and support event team recruitment

Sales, Marketing & Promotion

  • Assist with Wedding Fairs, showcases, exhibitions, and community events
  • Contribute to the Weddings & Events social media content plan and campaigns
  • Capture photos and videos at events for marketing use
  • Maintain wedding & events brochures, pricing, setup photos, and online pages (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest)
  • Conduct competitor benchmarking and assist with pricing reviews

Hotel Operations Support

  • Support Reception and Food & Beverage teams when required
  • Serve as Manager on Duty and complete occasional on-call shifts
  • Champion Health & Safety and maintain first-aid training

What We’re Looking For:

  • Passionate about hospitality and making people happy
  • Warm, friendly, and great with people
  • Highly organised, adaptable, and confident managing multiple tasks
  • Creative flair, strong communication, and a proactive mindset
  • Hospitality, Tourism or Business degree helpful — but not essential
  • Willing to work evenings, weekends, and late finishes when events require

Who We Are

At the Wisteria Hotel, we value personality over corporate polish, ideas over routine, and teamwork over ego. If you love events, enjoy making memories for others, and thrive in a varied role, you’ll fit right in.

Only applications from those who reside in the UK with valid Right to Work will be considered.

A bonus plan also applies to this role based on achievement of revenue targets.
