Client Overview
Set within 1,000 acres of rolling Yorkshire Dales countryside, The Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa offers a breathtaking backdrop for weddings -from lakeside vows to barn celebrations. With 70 bedrooms and versatile event spaces, the venue caters to everything from intimate elopements to grand celebrations of up to 200 guests and is known for its warm hospitality and stunning views.
The Challenge
The Coniston team was looking for a platform that could streamline their enquiry management, improve response times, and provide better visibility into performance. With a busy calendar and a high volume of leads, they needed a system that could reduce manual admin and support their commitment to delivering exceptional service.
WedPro: The CRM Built for wedding Venues
WedPro provided The Coniston with a centralised CRM tailored to the wedding industry. The platform enabled the team to track all enquiries in one place, automate follow-ups, and generate performance reports with ease.
Here’s what The Coniston Hotel’s Events & Sales Manager hoped the partnership would deliver:
The Results
Since implementing WedPro, from January to August, The Coniston team saw measurable improvements in both efficiency and conversion performance:
Client’s Voice
Organisation & Time-Saving
The numbers above show up in daily work too. With every enquiry logged in one system and follow-ups running automatically, the team spends less time on admin.
“It’s made a huge difference in our day-to-day operations. Being able to track all enquiries in one place, automate follow-ups, and generate reports quickly has saved us a lot of time. It’s also helped reduce manual admin, allowing us to focus more on delivering a great experience for our couples.”
Industry Fit
The wedding-specific design was one of the first things Jess noticed.
“WedPro feels tailored specifically for the wedding industry, which sets it apart from more generic CRM systems. The platform is much more user-friendly and purpose-built for venue management. It’s clearly designed with both sales performance and client communication in mind.”
Support That Goes Above & Beyond
That responsiveness extended beyond the sales process and into onboarding.
“Early on, we had a few specific customisation needs, and the team was incredibly responsive. They not only listened but actually implemented changes that made the platform work better for us. The onboarding support was also excellent, they really made sure we were confident using every aspect of the system.”
Time Saved, Bookings Gained
With WedPro, The Coniston Hotel changed how it manages leads. The team saves time, gets clear visibility into their pipeline, and gives couples a smoother experience from first enquiry to “I do.” The platform’s intuitive design, wedding-specific features, and responsive support have made it a core part of daily operations.
Advice for Future Users
We asked what advice she’d give other venues. Jess pointed back to the two features driving her team’s results: reporting and automation.
“I’d definitely recommend it. It’s been a game-changer for us in terms of efficiency and visibility over our pipeline. My advice would be to really make the most of the reporting tools and automation features, they can save you so much time and give you valuable insight into what’s working. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to the WedPro team, they’re always happy to help and genuinely invested in their clients’ success.”
