How our free venue finding process works

Client service icon Brief & objectives

We start by understanding what the event needs to achieve. That includes audience profile, location preferences, dates, budget, capacity, accessibility, accommodation needs, catering, meeting space, production requirements and any policy or compliance considerations.

Checklist icon Venue search & shortlisting

Using our industry knowledge, supplier network and relevant venue relationships, we explore suitable options and create a focused shortlist. Some searches may involve a small number of highly targeted venues, while broader briefs can involve reviewing a much wider market.

Laptop with arrow icon Proposal & recommendation

You receive a clear proposal with venue options, pricing, key considerations and our recommendation. We’ll highlight not just what each venue offers, but what you need to know before making a decision.

Site visits & next steps

Where helpful, we can support site visits, venue inspections and final negotiations before moving into contract, planning and wider event delivery.

This gives us a perfect platform to negotiate, challenge, compare and recommend from an informed and impartial position.

FAQs

How does your venue finding service work?

We start by understanding your event objectives, audience, budget, location requirements and event format. From there, we research suitable venues, negotiate with suppliers, create a tailored shortlist and provide recommendations based on both venue suitability and event delivery considerations. Unlike venue search platforms, our recommendations are backed by real event experience and supplier relationships.

Is your venue finding service free?

In many cases, venue finding can be provided at no direct cost to clients, as venues pay commission on confirmed bookings. For more complex sourcing projects, consultancy-led searches or procurement support, we can also offer bespoke fee structures. We’ll always be transparent about how we work and any associated costs from the outset.

Do you only source venues in the UK?

No. We source venues across the UK, Europe and globally. Our team has experience supporting conferences, meetings, incentives and events around the world, from city-centre hotels to international resort destinations.

Can you help if we don't know where we want to hold our event?

Absolutely. Many clients come to us with an objective rather than a destination. We can recommend locations, destinations and venues that align with your audience, budget and event goals, helping you narrow down the options and make an informed decision. The team regularly works on briefs with open destination criteria ranging from “anywhere in the UK” to “anywhere in the world”.

Can you negotiate rates and contracts on our behalf?

Yes. A key benefit of working with us is access to our established supplier relationships. We negotiate rates, added value, contract terms and flexibility wherever possible to help clients achieve the best overall outcome.
