How do we work
Events & Venues is happy to be completely transparent in the way we are able to offer our venue finding service FREE OF CHARGE.
Standard commission is 8% or 10% which is NOT added to the rate you would pay if you went direct. Venues are happy to pay us a small commission as we actively market and sell their venues to clients they would not necessarily have exposure to otherwise.
Q How many Hotels and Venues advertise on TV?
A Only one – Premier Travel Inn
and why do they have to spend so much on advertising…..
As they are a budget hotel brand and do not pay commission to agents…..
Events & Venues do not operate an over ride system with any hotel group but are driven by the clients’ requirements which are much more important. Events & Venues offer a completely unbiased list of options with the belief that if we find the right venue, you will come back to us time and again. LINK to venues.
So HOW DOES IT WORK.
- Decide on a date (or several preferred dates)
- Approx numbers and outline for the event
- Room set up and equipment required
- Preferred locations and approx budget
Forward this information to E&V and your designated booking consultant will start the process approaching venues in the preferred locations that are felt to be suitable. E&V will negotiate to offer venues within your budget and put together a quotation in a spread sheet format to enable direct comparison. E&V provide the star rating, the web site, the suggested meeting space and exactly what is included as well as a location map showing all the major arterial routes
E&V suggest you narrow down the options to a shortlist and are happy to accompany you on site visits to ensure the event will run operationally.
IT’S NOW OVER TO YOU to make the decision based on all the information provided. The hotel will forward a contract and liaise with you to finalise all details in the run up to the event unless you want any further assistance from E&V.
You are still very much in control of the process from start to finish
If you are looking for additional services to help with any other elements of your event, please refer to our Services section.
