Your questions, answered
Is a venue finding service really free?
Yes. Our service is completely free. We're paid a commission by the venue once a booking is confirmed, so there's no cost to you — and it doesn't make the venue more expensive. In many cases pricing is the same or better than going direct, thanks to our established relationships and buying power in the events industry.
Do you charge if I decide not to book?
No. Our venue finding service is completely free regardless of whether you go ahead with a booking. There are no hidden charges and no obligation.
What does a venue finding service actually do?
A venue finding service helps you source the most suitable venues for your event. Instead of searching, contacting venues and comparing availability yourself, we take your brief — location, budget, delegate numbers and event style — and create a tailored shortlist. We can also arrange site visits, support negotiations and stay involved through to contract stage, so you secure the right venue on the best possible terms.
What happens after I submit an enquiry?
Your brief is reviewed and suitable venues are researched and contacted. You receive a tailored shortlist (usually three to six options), and we can arrange site visits, support negotiations and stay involved through to contract stage. Once a contract is signed you'll often liaise directly with the venue, but we're always available if you need us. We can also help with accommodation, suppliers and wider event planning.
How long does it take to find a venue?
Typically we provide initial venue options within 24 hours of your enquiry. Simple briefs can be faster; more specialist requirements may take a little longer so we can find the best fit.
Can you help with accommodation for delegates and supplier sourcing too?
Yes. We can arrange accommodation for your delegates alongside the venue booking, securing competitive rates at hotels close to your chosen venue. We can also find business accommodation for you even when you're not running an event. We can additionally help source event suppliers — catering, AV, production, entertainment and transport — to help your event run smoothly.
