It's all in the detail. From a meeting for 6 guests to a 120 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 the expectations and as Events Co-ordinator you will be liaising with guests by email or phone often before the guest steps foot in the hotel.

You will also be involved in showcasing the hotel and actively selling the Meeting and Event space to prospective clients when they visit the property.

You will be dealing with large corporate bookings, individual celebrations (weddings, anniversaries), seasonal and local community events. No two days will be the same.
