Senior Weddings & Events Manager

Guildford Manor Hotel & Spa
Guildford, Surrey
£50,000 basic salary + 1.5% commission on total event booking revenue (excluding bedroom bookings)
Realistic on-target earnings of c. £60,000

Guildford Manor Hotel & Spa is a 4-star hotel, spa and events venue in Surrey, offering weddings, private events, corporate functions and leisure stays in a distinctive setting with strong growth potential.

With two function rooms, licensed outdoor ceremony space and attractive grounds, the venue is already a popular wedding destination and is well placed to grow further across weddings and wider events including corporates, birthdays, anniversaries, wakes and private functions.

We are looking for an outstanding Senior Weddings & Events Manager to take ownership of weddings and events sales, drive conversion, build revenue and deliver a highly professional client journey from initial enquiry through to event handover.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who is commercially strong, organised, positive, resilient and confident working independently. The successful candidate must be able to sell the venue proactively, manage their own pipeline, book show rounds on most weekends, be present at all events, and work closely with operations to ensure a smooth transition from sales into delivery.

This role will suit someone who is hardy, hardworking, motivated and not afraid of responsibility. Office conditions are not perfect, so we are looking for someone resilient and practical, with the right attitude to thrive in an independent hospitality environment and help raise standards over time.

The Role

You will be responsible for driving weddings and events business for Guildford Manor Hotel & Spa, with a strong focus on growing wedding revenue alongside additional event revenue from corporate and private functions.

You will take full ownership of the sales process, from first enquiry and follow-up through to show round, quotation, conversion, contracting and pre-event administration. On event days, you will be expected to be present, work alongside operational staff, and hand over clearly to the Operational Manager when your shift comes to an end.

This is not a passive or purely administrative events role. We are looking for someone with strong sales instinct, real commercial drive and the ability to work confidently on their own.

Key Responsibilities

Drive sales across weddings, corporate events, birthdays, anniversaries, wakes and other private functions
Take ownership of the sales process from initial enquiry through to signed contract

Build excellent relationships with prospective and confirmed clients
Upsell where appropriate to maximise event value and revenue
Ensure the best commercial use of all conference, banqueting and event space
Maintain accurate booking information, function sheets and financial records
Produce timely and accurate function information and communicate it clearly to operational teams
Be present at all weddings and key event days
Work alongside operational staff on event days in a coordinating and client-facing capacity
Handover professionally to the Operational Manager when your shift finishes on event days
Liaise with brides, grooms and key clients on the day to maintain confidence and satisfaction
Complete all necessary administration to ensure events run successfully from both a customer service and financial perspective
Recommend ideas and initiatives to increase sales, improve conversion and grow meetings and events revenue
Support marketing activity including email marketing, Instagram/social media content and venue promotion, particularly where it drives direct enquiries
Maintain a positive, solutions-focused attitude in a busy and sometimes imperfect working environment

About You

You will be commercially driven, organised and confident managing both the sales process and the client journey.

You will likely bring:

strong weddings and events sales experience within a hotel, venue or hospitality business
a proven track record of converting enquiries into confirmed bookings
confidence working independently and owning your own sales pipeline
strong communication, relationship-building and closing skills
excellent organisational ability and attention to detail
confidence handling event administration accurately and on time
experience of working on wedding days or key events in coordination with operations
the ability to remain calm, professional and solutions-focused under pressure
a hardworking, positive and resilient attitude
willingness to be fully present and accountable on Saturdays and major event days
confidence working in an independent venue where flexibility, resilience and initiative matter
a genuine desire to add value, grow revenue and help strengthen the business

Essential Requirements

strong weddings and events sales experience within a hotel, venue or hospitality setting
ability to work independently in a sales-led role
strong past sales experience with a successful track record
weekend availability is essential
availability to book and conduct show rounds on most weekends
availability on Saturdays and other key event days
willingness to be present at all events
confidence liaising with clients and operations on the morning and throughout the course of a wedding or event
strong attention to detail, organisation and follow-through
a positive, resilient and hardworking approach

Package

£50,000 basic salary
1.5% commission on the total value of event booking revenue excluding bedroom bookings
Realistic on-target earnings of c. £60,000
Monthly commission paid in arrears
Opportunity to make a real impact in a growing independent 4-star hotel and venue business

Why Join Us

For the right person, this role offers the chance to make a visible contribution, drive meaningful revenue, and be directly rewarded for strong performance in a business that values resilience, positivity, hard work and results.

To apply, please send your CV and a short note outlining your relevant experience and why this role appeals to you.
