WE'RE HIRING
Are you passionate about weddings and looking for a flexible, rewarding career where you can work from home? Join our team as a Wedding Planner, specialising in beautiful weddings across Scotland. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an enthusiasm for event planning, customer service, and a genuine interest in promoting Scotland and Northern Ireland as premier wedding destinations.
ABOUT US
We are a small wedding planning agency based across Europe. Our team currently consists of 12 young professionals all based in different countries and all working remotely (with the exception when on-the-day coordination is required, see Job Description above).
We provide tailored packages for destination weddings in Europe to couples from all over the world (although the majority of our clients are from the USA and Canada). We focus on intimate weddings from just 2 (the couple themselves, without guests) up to 60 people. The average group size of our weddings is 10-20 people. Sometimes we do receive inquiries for larger weddings. It is up to you to decide if you want to take those bookings.
The most important thing about our service is that it is sold as a package: this shortens the required planning time and makes the planning effort more predictable from the start. This means we can give couples a fixed price for their whole wedding from the outset, eliminating guesswork and unplanned expenses from their side. For most weddings that we organize, we usually work with the same venues and suppliers (photographers, florists, etc.), but sometimes you will need to research and find new ones.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
Essential Requirements
These are our non-negotiable requirements for this role:
1. Based in Scotland or Northern Ireland with fluency in English (additional knowledge of local dialects/languages is a plus).
2. Car & Full Driving License: Willing to travel across Scotland and/or Northern Ireland for event coordination, often to remote venues, for any weddings that require coordination.
3. Flexible Schedule: Ability to take client calls during evenings and weekends, especially for couples from the USA and Canada.
4. Customer-Focused: Strong communication skills and a passion for delivering exceptional service to clients.
5. Remote Work Experience: Previous freelance or remote work experience is beneficial for managing your own schedule, tasks, and workload.
Desirable Skills
Some nice-to-haves that will make it easier for you to do the job well:
1. Experience in the wedding, tourism, or hospitality industries.
2. Experience in a sales environment (non-retail).
3. A genuine interest in weddings and customer service.
4. Ability to promote Scotland and Northern Ireland as a wedding destination, including researching venues and suppliers.
JOB DESCRIPTION

2. Supplier Coordination: Booking suppliers, managing contracts, and liaising with venues, photographers, florists, musicians, and other key vendors.
3. Wedding Planning: Preparing detailed event timelines, overseeing logistics, and ensuring the couple’s vision is brought to life.
4. On-the-day Coordination: Occasionally providing on-site coordination during the wedding day to ensure everything runs smoothly (typically 4-10 hours).
5. Post-Wedding Tasks: Following up with the couple for feedback, collecting photos/videos, requesting reviews, and submitting weddings to blogs for publication.
Additional Responsibilities (Optional):
1. Venue Research & Visits: Inspect new wedding venues across Scotland and Northern Ireland.
2. Content Creation: Assist in generating ideas or content for our website and marketing efforts.
3. Feedback & Process Improvement: Provide valuable feedback on your experience to help improve our services and systems.

Earnings Potential
Depending on your dedication, skills, and workload, average annual earnings range from approximately £25K for part-time to over £45K for full-time wedding planners. This is before tax and excluding travel expenses for event coordination. You will be engaged as an independent contractor (self-employed) and will be responsible for invoicing your earnings on a monthly basis.
