Alongside sourcing a venue, we have to think about the catering, any overnight guests, travel logistics, dietary requirements, speakers, training materials, seating plans, AV equipment… the list is endless. Here are a few examples of how a great venue finding agency, like Location Darling , can help assistants source a great venue.

Well to be honest there is a slight chink in my event armour; I’m not the best at negotiating. Well I didn’t, I hired a fantastic events co-ordinator to do all of the negotiating with the venue and suppliers on my behalf. The more bedrooms you book the more you can negotiate and get free of charge. I sound marvellous don’t I!?

That’s why not a day goes by at our agency where we aren’t scouting and searching for incredible venue space, somewhere in the world. What is your budget? Usually a venue takes about 40% of your overall budget, if not more. This limits your negotiating power to compare pricing and use your own vendors.

Sometimes it is worth looking outside of London (or any major city) for venues, even if some people have to travel it could save lots on the overall budget. Event budgeting is a major MAJOR factor in organising any event.
