We are looking for a professional, polite, and

Cain Manor’s Tudor
charm steals your heart the moment you reach the end of its winding, whimsical,
woodland drive.
Harper Weddings helps couples bring their wedding
dreams to life at the places we call home. Through heartfelt hospitality, we
encourage couples and our team to go with their heart. Cain Manor is part
of our small collection of special places to celebrate across the South of
England.
Harper is an independent, family-owned hospitality company. We give our guests the run
of the house - and the time of their lives. Whether it’s an exclusive-use house
in the country, an award-winning hotel, or a much-loved village pub, we host
from the heart, with the wisdom of 25 years in the business.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
* Be responsible
for planning the events taking place at Cain Manor using our unique Harper
planner, with support from the House Management Team
* Ensure event details
have been discussed and finalised two weeks ahead of each event so all
departments clearly understand what is required for the day. From timings to
menus, suppliers, and floor plans, you’ll leave no stone unturned in bringing
the perfect day together.

host at least two planning meetings per couple, either in person or virtually.
* Assist with
planning up to three Harper Tasting Experience events per annum and attend each
to catch up with your couples and assist with their questions.
* Manage general
enquiries and visit requests being made via phone calls and emails from
prospect and fully booked couples. Weekend & Bank Holiday availability

takes to run a seamless event from start to finish – from showing a couple
around the house shortly after they’ve got engaged to waving them goodbye as
they depart as newlyweds, you’ll be a part of it all.
* Stay up to date
with industry trends and best practise to ensure we remain ahead of the game.
You will be encouraged to bring new ideas to the Kitchen Table Meeting – a
collaborative meeting held every Monday morning with all team members.

professionalism at the forefront of your mind.
