About the Role

Events Manager

Location: Chapel Lane , Lyndhurst

Hours: Full Time

Salary: Up to £36,000 (inc. Tronc)

As Events Manager at Lime Wood, you’ll be the go-to person for turning enquiries into unforgettable events. From first conversation, you’ll work closely with our guests and FOH teams to plan and deliver beautifully tailored events that truly reflect the Lime Wood experience.

You’ll have previous event experience in a 5* hotel, be hands-on, people-focused and great at keeping all the moving parts running smoothly.

What you’ll be doing

This role is varied, so no two days will look the same. You’ll be:

• Turning event enquiries into confirmed bookings, confidently discussing rates and putting together proposals that work for both the guest and the business
• Building great relationships with guests to really understand what they want, what they love and what matters most to them
• Meeting guests in person, hosting show-arounds and sharing the story, values and feel of Lime Wood
• Leading weekly planning meetings and making sure all event details are clearly shared with the wider team
• Working closely with Food & Beverage, Reception, Housekeeping and more to make sure everything runs seamlessly
• Partnering with the Kitchen team to create bespoke menus, manage dietary requirements and solve any last-minute challenges
• Keeping event details up to date across Opera Sales & Catering, SevenRooms and Trybe
• Jumping in to support other departments when needed – from helping Reservations with calls to occasionally being on the floor during events
• Line managing the Events Coordinator and acting as a senior, supportive member of the Sales & Reservations team
• Taking care of the admin side of things, including function sheets, invoicing and gathering guest feedback

About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys bringing people together and thrives in a, detail-driven environment. Ideally, you’ll have:

• Experience in event management, sales or a similar role within luxury hospitality
• A commercial mindset and confidence when converting enquiries and negotiating packages
• A friendly, professional communication style and a natural ability to connect with people
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to juggle multiple events at once
• Experience in luxury food & beverage (a bonus, but not essential)

If you love creating memorable experiences and want to be part of a close-knit team in a truly beautiful setting, this could be the role for you.
