Wedding Assistant Northampton, England
Job description
I am looking to recruit a freelance wedding planning assistant and event manager for a wedding planning and event management business, working with couples across the UK! The business has been growing since the doors to the world reopened post covid, and I would now like some assistance with planning, and for you to also become part of my on the day wedding team.
Main Duties:
· Assisting with planning – this could be anything from calling suppliers to check their availability to typing up couples’ requirements, updating planning schedules, to checking in with suppliers.
· Assisting with the ‘business’ side – we have to keep those enquiries coming in! This could be anything from writing and/or uploading blogs, to social media content, responding to enquiries or updating online listings
· Wedding day management – I always have a team with me on wedding days, and of course, you will become part of that team! These can be long days – anything from 8 – 14 hours, include a lot of steps, a lot of hard work, but also a lot of fun!
Who are you?
You don’t necessarily need wedding experience, but I would be looking for someone who has a hospitality background, whether that be waitressing, customer service or kitchen work. I started with a background in hotels. I strongly believe it’s important to have waitressing experience (and knowledge of how to lay a table!) when starting out in the wedding industry so this would be preferred.
I am not looking for someone who already has their own wedding planning business and is looking to freelance on the side of their private work. This role is for someone who is keen to be in the wedding industry and wants to gain knowledge and experience, alongside their current studies/job.
Must be fun loving, love a chin wag, and be a bit crazy to be able to work with me! A confidential and reliable person – you will be dealing with people’s wedding days, which is a big deal! Oh a love of all things wedding of course!
Where are you?
I am based in Northamptonshire, so this would be my preference, but the job can be done remotely so it isn’t the end of the world if you aren’t, but would be good to be able to meet occasionally to work together. MUST have own car to be able to get to wedding days
When do you need me?
At the moment, the position will be around 5 hours a week, but this could change on a weekly basis and could become a permanent position in the future. Current wedding dates you will be required:
June 16th 2023 - TBC
July 15th 2023
August 12th 2023
September 2nd 2023
September 9th 2023
October 28th 2023
What is a freelancer?
You won’t be working directly for the business, you will need to invoice for the time you work, then manage your tax yourself with HMRC.
