A day in the life of events...


I love meeting people! Being an Event Co-ordinator at Tatton Park means I get to meet lots of people from all walks of life. Everyone has a different reason for coming to Tatton and a different story to tell. Whether it’s a couple who have just got engaged, the little boy who is eagerly awaiting his Bar Mitzvah or even the corporate manager who wants to host a show stopping conference for prospective clients.

I also love diversity in life and always having something new and exciting to take on. That comes in abundance here! I work with a very small, close-knit team who deal with all aspects of event co-ordination, from taking the initial enquiry to being their on the day. The same team conduct venue viewings, liaise with clients, draw up contracts, raise invoices, set up for the day itself and are there for the event to make sure everything runs perfectly.

Being part of such a small team that takes on so many different roles for an event really gives me the opportunity to get to know clients. The rapport I build up with them means that I can really get an understanding of what they want and I’m able to help them achieve the perfect day that they were hoping for.





To top it all off I get to do this in such beautiful surroundings and with such wonderful people helping me along the way. Seeing the deer on the 2000 acre parkland never gets boring and being able to spend so much time in Tatton’s famous gardens is the icing on cake. Doing this with a team that is lovely and as equally as enthusiastic and passionate about Tatton as I am is the cherry on the top!
