Find Your Perfect In-House<br />
Wedding Co-ordinator<br />
WEDDING VENUE CONSULTANT<br />
Isabel Smith offers a recruitment<br />
service to help you find the perfect<br />
in-house wedding co-ordinator for<br />
your team.<br />
“If you are looking to recruit a<br />
new team member, then don’t<br />
just look out for the strong sales<br />
skills and fantastic organisational<br />
abilities that are the bedrock of the<br />
role,” says Smith. “We help a lot of<br />
venues recruit and train their team<br />
and passion counts for so much<br />
more than experience in my book.<br />
The role is so rarely 9-5 and we all<br />
know it’s hard to give 100% when<br />
working long hours if you don’t<br />
love what you do. We charge a flat<br />
fee instead of a percentage and<br />
work really closely with venues to<br />
find the perfect person.”<br />

and Workshops<br />
KATE MOREL IS delighted to announce the launch<br />
of her independent glamping advice and design<br />
consultancy service for those looking for expert<br />
guidance when setting up a new glampsite,<br />
or owners who want to review and revamp an<br />
existing offer.<br />
This new venture will also include a series of<br />
workshops on different market sectors throughout<br />
<strong>2017</strong> starting with two workshops in May<br />
(Northamptonshire on 11 May and Somerset, date<br />
TBC). Focusing on how to set up and run a small<br />
to medium glampsite, information will include<br />
industry developments, choosing a structure,<br />
planning requirements, facilities, how to create<br />
an unbeatable glamping offer, current marketing<br />
options, and examples of expected costs and<br />
rental fees. There will be lots of opportunities to<br />
ask questions and discuss your own ideas and<br />
projects.<br />
