Wedding & Event Sales Manager

The Opportunity

Set within the timeless charm of a distinguished historic property, this is a rare chance to join a team that believes every love story deserves an unforgettable setting. We are seeking a dynamic, client-focused Wedding & Event Sales Manager to be the first point of connection for couples beginning one of the most meaningful journeys of their lives.

This role is not simply about closing deals — it is about building trust, curating experiences, and guiding engaged couples toward their perfect day. If you are a driven sales professional with a genuine passion for design, hospitality, and people, we want to hear from you.

Compensation

Total target compensation is at least $100,000 annually, structured as a base salary plus performance-based sales commission. High performers who exceed targets have the potential to earn above this figure.

What You’ll Do

As our Wedding & Event Sales Manager, you will serve as the face of our venue for prospective couples from first inquiry through signed contract. Your core responsibilities include:
• Respond promptly and warmly to all wedding inquiries received via email, voicemail, and other channels, ensuring no couple is left waiting.
• Proactively schedule and host site tours on a frequent, consistent basis to showcase the property and generate excitement in prospective clients.
• Prepare polished, comprehensive proposal packages and documentation to support couples in their decision-making process.
• Maintain persistent, thoughtful follow-up with all leads until a contract is signed or the couple has selected an alternate venue.
• Collect initial deposits upon contract execution, enter confirmed events onto the master calendar, and update the event whiteboard accordingly.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date sales reports for current and upcoming years and deliver weekly summaries to ownership.
• Serve as the clear point of communication during the sales process and formally introduce couples to their ongoing venue contact upon booking.
• Track and self-report sales commission earnings accurately and in accordance with the established compensation structure.

What We’re Looking For
• A proven sales track record. You have demonstrated success in a sales role and know how to move prospects through a pipeline with confidence and integrity.
• Emotional intelligence and a soft touch. Engaged couples are navigating one of the most emotionally charged decisions of their lives. You meet them with warmth, patience, and genuine care.
• Exceptional attention to detail. From proposal documents to deposit tracking to calendar accuracy, you take pride in getting every detail right.
• An eye for design and an appreciation for weddings. You either already understand the world of events and wedding aesthetics, or you have the curiosity and capacity to learn it quickly.
• Strong organizational and communication skills. You manage multiple couples and timelines simultaneously without missing a beat.
• A self-starter mentality. You take ownership of your pipeline, your follow-ups, and your results without needing to be managed closely.

Why This Role

This is not a corporate cubicle position. Every day, you work within a property steeped in history and beauty, helping couples bring their most cherished visions to life. You will have the autonomy to build relationships authentically, the support of a dedicated ownership team, and the satisfaction of knowing your work directly shapes some of the most memorable days in people’s lives.

If you’re ready to turn inquiries into celebrations and connections into contracts,we’d love to meet you!

Pay: $75,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year
