Believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself - Wedding Coordinator The Gilchrist Collection Employee Review

I have worked for the company for nearly 9 years now, the progression and support within the company is unlike any other business I’ve worked for. Working under the Gilchrist Collection from the very start, I have been incredibly fortunate to watch it grow from the very beginning of my journey at our first venue to the successful business it is today. Being part of that growth has been something I am truly proud of. What has always stood out to me is the genuine care and passion that goes into every single wedding across the whole collection. The company has never lost sight of what matters most or the moral compass of the most important values – creating unforgettable experiences for couples and their guests. The standards are exceptionally high, but so is the support, respect, and dedication shown to both staff and clients. Over the years, I’ve seen the company continue to evolve, invest in its venues, and build an amazing team, all while maintaining a very personal approach that makes it so special. It’s truly the best place to work, and I feel privileged to have played a part in so many couples’ special days. I look forward to seeing what the future holds as the company continues to grow and thrive.

Great company with strong values and career progression I have been with the company for almost five years, starting as an operations Manager and progressing to operations Manager across three different venues. This has given me great exposure to different teams and ways of working, and I’ve always felt supported in my development. One of the most rewarding parts of the role is being part of such an important day in people’s lives. Working in weddings is incredibly fulfilling, and no two days are ever the same. The company genuinely cares about its people. There is a strong focus on team support, family values, and creating a positive working environment. The pay and benefits are competitive, and there are real opportunities for progression if you are willing to work hard and grow within the business. • Supportive and people-focused culture • Clear opportunities for career progression • Competitive salary and benefits • Rewarding work in a unique industry • Good team environment across venues

Long hours and weekend work are often required, especially during peak wedding season. The role can be demanding due to the nature of events and high couples’ expectations. However, this is typical of the hospitality industry and is something you will encounter across the sector.
