Social media management for event planners & hospitality businesses

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

Your venue just wrapped a stunning wedding, your catering team pulled off a flawless corporate gala, or your event planning firm booked three new clients, and none of it made it to Instagram until two weeks later. Social media for events and hospitality is time-sensitive and visual-heavy, which makes it one of the first things that slips when you're in execution mode. A Nacho specialist keeps your channels active and on-brand whether you're on-site or in back-to-back planning calls.

Can a Virtual Assistant handle social media management for event and hospitality businesses?

Yes. Nacho matches event and hospitality businesses with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist who owns social media management week after week, not a one-off task. You start with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, set a monthly Talent Budget from $1,000, and we match you in about a week.

How it works

How your Specialist owns social media management for event and hospitality businesses

A Nacho EA assigned to your events or hospitality business typically works inside tools like Later, Hootsuite, or Meta Business Suite to build and maintain a content calendar aligned with your event schedule, seasonal promotions, and venue availability. They'll take raw assets: photos from your photographer, venue shots, behind-the-scenes content: and write captions, apply hashtags, and schedule posts across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or TikTok depending on where your clients actually are. For event-driven businesses, they'll build out pre-event hype posts, day-of coverage queues, and post-event recap content so nothing falls through the gaps. They'll also monitor comments and DMs, flag anything that needs your personal response, and pull monthly engagement reports so you can see what's converting. Your role is to share assets and approve the content calendar, most clients spend under an hour a week on this once the workflow is established.

Off your plate

What your Specialist takes off your plate

Before your EA starts, pull together a shared folder: Google Drive or Dropbox works fine: with your brand kit, any existing photo libraries from past events, and a short note on your tone (are you formal and upscale, or warm and approachable?). The most common mistake is handing off social media without giving the EA enough visual assets to work with, which forces them to rely on stock imagery that doesn't reflect your actual work, and in events and hospitality, authenticity is what sells.

  1. Event Promotion Content Scheduling

    EA builds a pre-event posting sequence in Later or Hootsuite: typically 2 to 4 weeks out: covering save-the-date announcements, vendor spotlights, and ticket or RSVP links.

  2. Post-Event Recap Publishing

    EA curates highlight photos and video clips from each event, writes recap captions with tagged vendors and clients (where appropriate), and publishes within 48 hours of event completion.

  3. Venue and Availability Promotion

    EA creates and schedules evergreen posts showcasing your venue spaces, packages, or service offerings to maintain pipeline visibility between booked events.

  4. Community Engagement and DM Monitoring

    EA monitors comments, reviews, and direct messages across platforms daily, responds to general inquiries using approved scripts, and escalates booking-intent messages directly to you.

  5. Monthly Performance Reporting

    EA pulls engagement metrics, follower growth, and top-performing posts from native platform analytics or a tool like Sprout Social and delivers a concise summary with notes on what content drove the most reach.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For marketing-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional CMO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Can an EA manage social media around an unpredictable event schedule?
Yes, this is actually where the setup pays off most. Your EA builds a flexible content calendar that accounts for confirmed event dates and leaves room for last-minute additions. Most clients share a quick update after each event wraps so the EA can queue recap content without needing a full debrief call.
What if we don't have a professional photographer at every event?
Your EA can work with iPhone photos, vendor-provided images, client-tagged posts, and even user-generated content with permission, this is standard in the industry. They'll also help you build a library of evergreen venue and brand content so your feed stays active even during slower booking periods.
How does Nacho handle social media accounts that also receive booking inquiries?
Your EA monitors DMs and comments daily and responds to general questions using approved language you've reviewed together during onboarding. Any message that looks like a serious booking inquiry gets flagged to you directly, typically via Slack or email, so you can respond personally and close the conversation.
