Wild Events and Consulting

Wild Events and Consulting Venue Consultant & Commercial Strategist
Supporting Wedding Venues, Hotels & Corporate Event Spaces to Increase Bookings & Strengthen Operations

Hello, I’m Kayleigh, the face behind Wild Events & Consulting! With over 18 years of experience in the wedding, events & hotel industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at some of Kent’s most distinguished venues. My career has taken me through nearly every role within the hospitality industry, giving me a 360-degree perspective on the challenges & opportunities businesses face daily. My mission is to help independent businesses thrive by offering solutions that drive results. Whether it’s refining customer journeys, optimising operations, creating unforgettable guest experiences, or crafting effective marketing strategies, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. What sets me apart? I know that many independent businesses don’t have the budget for full-time marketing teams or events managers. That’s why I offer flexible, cost-effective support that delivers the expertise of a marketing, sales, & events manager without the overheads. With a monthly retainer fee, you gain industry knowledge, actionable insights, & measurable results all without hidden costs or long-term commitments. I’m passionate about mentoring teams, building relationships, & helping businesses uncover their unique selling points to stand out in an increasingly competitive market. Whether you’re a venue, supplier, or independent business, I’ll work with you to create strategies that resonate with your target audience & drive growth. If you’re looking for someone who knows the Kent hospitality industry inside & out, can simplify the complex terms, & has a knack for bringing out the best in your team, let’s chat. Together, we’ll turn your goals into actionable plans & make the process as rewarding as the results! I look forward to working with you.

Most venue teams work incredibly hard.

The events are delivered beautifully. The couples are looked after. The feedback is positive. The reviews are good.

But the sales process, the bit that runs between enquiry and booking, often doesn’t get the same attention. Because it’s less visible. Because it requires someone to own it strategically. Because when you’re busy delivering, it’s the first thing that gets deprioritised.

The result is a venue that’s working hard and not quite converting at the rate it should be.

Your team deserves a process that matches their effort. Your venue deserves a sales operation that’s as strong as the product it’s selling.

That’s the bit I focus on.

That phrase costs you more than you realise.

Every time you default to “we’ve always done it this way,” you’re choosing familiarity over revenue. You’re leaving money on the table because shifting feels uncomfortable.

I spent 15 years in hotels and venues watching this play out.

The ones that grew event revenue by 40%, 50%, sometimes 100% in a single year?

They questioned everything. Repositioned their spaces. Retrained their teams. Changed their pricing. Changed their story.

It’s not radical. It’s just intentional.

If your event revenue hasn’t moved in the last two years, your process probably hasn’t either.

Drop us a DM with CONSULT, let’s talk about what’s actually possible.

Does your wedding venue have a heat plan?

If your venue has outdoor ceremony spaces, gardens, or a barn, what actually happens when it’s 32 degrees outside?

Too many venues rely on hoping for the best. But guest experience doesn’t pause for the weather.

Think about it from your guests’ perspective:
— Where do they cool down during a 45 minute outdoor drinks reception?
— Is there shade near the ceremony space?
— Is your main room comfortable at 3pm in full summer heat?

These details directly affect how couples remember their day and what they write in their review.

A venue audit from Wild Events & Consulting covers the full guest journey, including seasonal readiness, operational gaps, and the moments that quietly cost you five star reviews.

They start on Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok, building a feeling before they’ve typed a single search term.

By the time they reach Google, they already have a shortlist. The question is whether your venue is on it.

If your digital presence is inconsistent, old photography, sporadic content, slow enquiry responses, you’re invisible in the most important part of the buying journey.

Wedding venues, hotels and corporate event spaces that show up consistently across all channels are the ones capturing enquiries before competitors even know the couple is looking.

Wild Events & Consulting helps venues improve their visibility, enquiry conversion and sales process from first contact to signed contract.

I’m not one for personal posts, behind the scenes is where I work best. But this deserves a moment. 🤍

I’ve spent the last while supporting the team at Stronger Together Through Cancer Charity, as a business coach for self employed business owners managing their cancer journey.

Honestly? It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve done.

These are business owners trying to keep things running , sometimes building one from scratch, while dealing with something most of us can barely imagine.

There’s no sick pay, no HR department, no one covering your clients while you’re in treatment when you’re self-employed.

Stronger Together Through Cancer exists to fill that exact gap and the difference it makes is real and immediate.

If you’re ever looking for a charity to support, personally or through your business, this is mine.

Working alongside the incredible Adelle Martin | StrongHer and Fiona Shoults Medical Tattooist onwards. 🤍

1. Replying with availability and price before asking a single question about the couple.

2. Sending a generic PDF brochure instead of something that feels written for them.
No follow up if they go quiet, just... nothing.

3. That third one is the one I see most. A "no reply" isn't always a "no." Sometimes it's a "not yet" that nobody ever revisited.

Small fix. Big difference to your numbers.

What a 'quiet admin day' actually does for your bookings"

No glamour here. Just a laptop, a coffee and the unglamorous stuff chasing proposals, tidying the enquiry tracker, following up the ones that went quiet.

This is the part nobody posts about.

It's also the part that decides whether next month's diary fills itself or you're left wondering where everyone went.

Systems aren't sexy. But they're the difference between a venue that's busy and a venue that's booked.

Reactive venues wait for the enquiry, then scramble to impress.

Proactive venues have already built the systems, the follow up, the show round structure so by the time the enquiry lands, the hard work is done.

Most venues don't realise which one they are until bookings start slowing down and nobody can quite say why.

Which one are you, honestly?
Not where you want to be, where you actually are right now?
