Event Sales Manager

Events Sales Manager - Basingstoke | Lead Wedding Sales at a Luxury Venue with Bonus, Commission & Work-Life Balance

Looking for an Events Sales Manager role in Basingstoke where no two days are the same? Join a luxury, exclusive-use wedding venue with a brilliant team, great perks, and a hands-on approach to delivering unforgettable events.

Why apply for this Events Sales Manager role?

• £30,000 - £35,000 per annum + commission & performance bonuses

• Friendly, supportive team environment

• Monday-Friday, mostly 08:00-16:00

• One weekend off per month (more in off-peak season)

• Beautiful countryside venue - not a hotel chain

• Opportunity to lead sales and have a real impact

What you'll be doing:
As Events Sales Manager, you'll be the driving force behind wedding sales. From initial enquiry to the couple's big day, you'll guide clients through every step while coordinating closely with the events and operations teams to ensure smooth execution.

Your role will include:

• Managing wedding enquiries, showrounds, and client meetings

• Converting leads into confirmed bookings with a personal touch

• Building strong relationships with couples and industry suppliers

• Leading and supporting a small on-site sales team

• Stepping in operationally when needed - from breakfast prep to bar support

What we're looking for:
We're keen to speak with candidates who bring event catering experience (rather than hotel backgrounds) and a flexible, team-oriented mindset. You'll need to be just as comfortable closing a sale as you are helping out on a busy day.

You'll thrive if you:

• Have event or wedding catering experience

• Are confident managing your own pipeline and processes

• Enjoy working as part of a small, hands-on team

• Are looking for a role where you can grow and make a real difference

If you're an Events Sales Manager based near Basingstoke or Reading, ready for a rewarding next step in a luxury venue, this could be your perfect match.

Apply now - we'd love to hear from you.
