Introducing Tottington Manor
Tottington Manor is a renowned boutique hotel set in the countryside, known for its picturesque settings and strong food and beverage offerings.
The venue hosts a variety of events, including weddings, family celebrations, meetings, and conferences, with an events team dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences.
Business Gaps
Before Creventa, Tottington Manor's team relied heavily on Excel spreadsheets and manual processes. This led to frequent errors, especially when last-minute changes occurred, impacting the smooth execution of events. The team often had to double- and triple-check their work to ensure accuracy, resulting in time-consuming tasks and the risk of mistakes, particularly during high-pressure times.
"One change didn't always update across all the reports, leading to mistakes during service. We wanted a system that could ensure all reports were automatically updated, even with last-minute changes."
Creventa
Creventa's all-in-one event management system provided Tottington Manor with a solution to handle all event details in one place, automating key tasks and reducing manual effort.
Key features they rely on include:
- Dietary requirements: Guests submit preferences directly, ensuring no mistakes and providing real-time kitchen updates.
- Event reports: Consistent, accurate reports for all departments — front-of-house to kitchen staff.
- Seamless guest experience: Guests upload preferences directly, reducing the need for manual intervention.
- Pre-ordering system: All guest orders captured correctly and communicated to the kitchen without error.
- Function sheets: Auto-generated to match the venue's layout, reducing manual adjustments.
"For a wedding of 70–80 people, what once took several hours now only takes 30 minutes. We manage 50 weddings and 700 other events a year, so the time saved really adds value."
