About the Role
This is a key role within the wedding and events team at The Brehon Hotel, a premium four‑star venue known for delivering high‑quality, experience‑led weddings and events. You will manage a portfolio of weddings and events from enquiry through to delivery, acting as the main point of contact for clients and guiding them through each stage of the planning process.
Our role requires strong organisation, clear communication, and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once. You will work closely with all hotel departments to ensure each event is delivered to a high standard.
While weddings have a creative element, this role is not purely styling‑focused. It will suit someone who enjoys structure, planning, and bringing an event together behind the scenes.
We are open to candidates with varying levels of experience, and the role can be shaped accordingly for the right person.
