The Challenge of Choosing the Perfect Venue
If you’ve ever tried to source a venue for a corporate event in London and the surrounding areas then I’m sure you’ll know just how time consuming it can be. Choosing a suitable venue is often the first task that needs to be ticked off when it comes to planning an event but with so many venues located in and around our capital city, where on earth do you start?! The choice of property has the power to really make or break an event and knowing that the venue hire charges can often take up a large proportion of your event budget means that it’s a decision you want to get right. From location, accessibility and pricing to catering options, AV provision and accommodation, there’s a never-ending list of factors to take into consideration – add to this new openings, refurbishments and seasonal offers and it can all seem a little overwhelming!
The Benefits of Expertise: 25 Years in the London Events Industry
With over 25 years’ experience in the London conference and events industry – you’ll be pleased to hear that help is at hand! Not only can Park Lane Events save you time and money by helping to navigate through the minefield of venues out there but I can also assist with sourcing external suppliers, collaborating proposals, liaising with venues which includes contracting and that all important negotiation to ensure your event brief is met.
When it comes to contacting venues for costings, you’re probably well aware that this isn’t always a straightforward process – you may not get through to the venues first time, each venue might quote in a different way and chances are you’ll possibly speak to a different person in the conference office each time you call.
The Hassle-Free Approach to Contacting Venues
Part of the service that Park Lane Events offers is to remove the headache that these hassles can create – following an initial Zoom call to discuss your requirements, I will contact all the venues on your behalf, prepare your proposal, negotiate on rates, advise on the all-important T&C’s and arrange your site inspections (and attend them if possible) – it’s all part of the service and ensures that nothing is forgotten along the way! And as long as the event is contracted and takes place, there is no cost to you as I earn an industry commission from the venue that hosts your event. (Important to note this is not then added on by the venue)
