Website Design and Development
- Our marketing team can create a professional and user-friendly website for your venue, complete with all the features and functionality you need to showcase your events and attract customers.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Ranking high on search engine rankings is key to a successful organic traffic rate. We can optimize your website’s content to get you to the top of the search engines, making it easier for potential customers to find you online.
Showcase organization and management
We have evolved away from the days of wedding fairs with pull up banners and endless white clothed tables! Instead, we’ll steer you in the direction of holding magnificent showcase events in collaboration with your suppliers, to present your venue in all its glory.
We carefully curate each event we hold to correspond with the current ongoing wedding trends. This can be seen with our recent sustainable showcase at Hodsock Priory that sold approximately 500 tickets which resulted in 20 weddings booked.
Our team will do the designing, planning and the marketing of the events as well as strengthen the key relationships you have with your suppliers in the industry, so that they continue to promote you and your venue long after the event has finished.
*This service is only available to retained clients
