It's all in the detail. From a meeting for 6 guests to a 100 cover wedding, it’s all in the detail and you make it happen.

We create memories that our guests never forget. At Hotel du Vin, we always go above and beyond expectations. As a Meetings and Events Executive, you will liaise with guests by email or phone often before they arrive. You will also showcase the hotel and actively sell the Meeting and Event space to prospective clients when they visit the property.

Experience in a similar role is beneficial, but a smile and personality are essential. You should be confident in selling over the phone and be computer literate. You will handle large corporate bookings, individual celebrations (weddings, anniversaries), seasonal, and local community events. No two days will be the same.

Do you want to be part of something different, working with the best food, drink, and a brand you can be proud of?

We create memories that our guests never forget. This role could be your next step into a Meeting and Events Sales Manager position – we actively encourage internal development and progression. Onwards and upwards!

This role is mainly office-based, with some weekend work depending on the events you manage.
