MUST BE IN MILTON KEYNES/NORTHAMPTON AREA
We are looking for someone to fill a hybrid role in the business, to manage marketing (social media and blogging) on a weekly basis, and also to be an event manager to manage our on the day management services from consultation to wedding day.
Duties
* Manage the Instagram and TikTok accounts for the business
* Assist with any advertising/marketing needs as required
* Content creation at certain weddings each year
* Complete consultations with potential on the day management couples
* Completing contract and invoice for any couples who decide to go ahead with our on the day management service that you have completed the consultation with
* Completing the site visit with the couple
* Conversing with couples that you have booked over email and/or WhatsApp
* Completing the couples final meeting before the wedding day
* Managing the full wedding day with an assistant working alongside you
* Following up with the couple for a Google review
Hours
Hours are flexible. This role is suitable for a freelancer working in events or marketing or even a completely different industry (our team is made up of PA's, actresses, and children's entertainers!), but MUST NOT have their own wedding planning business or be looking to start one. The team works together 4 hours every fortnight. The rest of your work can be completed in your own time.
The marketing part of the role will be around 5 hours per week, and the event manager part will be busier in the summer than in winter. My aim would be for you to book 10 on the day management services per year. Each service equates to around 25-30 hours, which works out on average 250-300 a year or around 5 per week. For example, in November, you would most likely just be doing the 5 hours a week marketing, whereas in June, you could be doing 5 hours marketing + 12 hour wedding day.
The role is freelance, so you would need to look after your own taxes.
Pay is £15 an hour for admin or wedding day assisting, and £22 per hour for event management on wedding days.
For the 2026 season, you would be assisting weddings to see how we work, so it would be useful for you to be available for all, or some of, the below wedding dates if possible:
* 14th June
* 19th June
* 11th July
* 18th July
* 1st August
* 2nd August
* 15th August
* 22nd August
* 29th August
* 10th October
* 24th October
For the 2027 season, you would then take on your own couples, where you will be shadowed by myself or our other event manager, until you are confident to complete the service on your own.
Skills
* Strong social media skills and branding skills are key - we need somebody who can understand the brand. Brand voice is hugely important to the business.
* Event management skills are required but not essential as training will be provided, as long as you have the below.
* Strong time management skills with the ability to prioritise tasks efficiently under pressure
* Excellent organisational skills to coordinate multiple events simultaneously
* Previous experience in restaurant or hotel settings is highly desirable
* Exceptional guest service skills with a professional demeanour
* Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to liaise effectively with clients and team members
* Ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances during busy wedding days
* Urgency when required is key!
* Open to long days and travelling
This role offers an exciting opportunity for a motivated individual passionate about hospitality, weddings, and marketing. We are a great team within a growing business, who absolutely love weddings!
