Meet our lovely Wedding Coordinator, Chloe!
We sat down with Chloe and she took us through everything from first meeting our newly engaged couples, to her own wedding day!
1. You’ve recently got married yourself. What was important to you when you were planning your own wedding?
The most important thing for me when planning my own wedding, was making sure I had good contact with my venue throughout the whole process. Just making sure we were on the same page with everything, as the bulk of the day is, of course, the reception held at your chosen venue!
I believe great communication is so important, and I like to make sure that I keep in great contact with my brides and grooms from start to finish!
2. What do you love most about your job?
I love the satisfaction that comes with taking a couple from the beginning of their journey to the end. The most rewarding thing for me is seeing the bride and groom towards the end of their night, enjoying their first dance and their party; it really puts a smile on my face, at it is the culmination of a day gone well! I leave work that day feeling very grateful that I get to do this job.
3. What do you do when you first meet a bride/groom?
On first meeting with our couples, I make sure I take the proper time to be as informative as possible. I make sure I let them know about availability, answer any questions they may have, give them any quotes they may need and get to know the couple a little bit too! It’s always nice to hear such lovely stories!
4. What was your favourite part of your big day!
Aside from the actual Ceremony, my favourite part of my Wedding Day was the party in the evening! The photos, meal and speeches were done and dusted, and now it was time to start celebrating with our nearest and dearest! It is a long day though, so by midnight I was ready for bed! I also loved taking a few moments out with my new husband, just to reflect on the day, which was so important; I always make sure to tell our couples to do the same on their big day!
5. How did you get into Wedding Coordinating?
I started off as a front desk receptionist at the hotel. I’ve worked in customer service, including some event coordination for 9 years now! Alongside reception duties, I began to coordinate small events within the hotel, as events was always the real passion of mine.
Just as my own wedding was rolling around, an opportunity came up to progress onto wedding coordination at the hotel, and here I am now, with a good few weddings under my belt!
Starting off the back of planning my own wedding, I feel well equipped with fresh ideas and hints and tips for brides and grooms!
