We pride ourselves in being the only venue finding service focussed on the London market and are proud of our Google Review score of 4.9.  Over 70% of our business comes from previous clients, who value our huge knowledge and personal service, fast responses and well‑matched venue options.

Is Your Venue Finding Service Really Free?

Yes. Venue Search London never charges clients for our venue sourcing support. We earn introductory commissions from venues when placing business with them, so our consultants can handle research, shortlisting and recommendations at no cost, helping you save time while securing the best available venue options.

How Long Does it Take to Receive Venue Options?

Once we receive your brief, Venue Search London typically provides tailored options within 24 to 48 hours. Our team of consultants work quickly to review venue availability and prices before sending you a curated shortlist of the most suitable event venues.

Why Should I Use Venue Search London Rather than Search Online and Book my Venue Directly?

The key to any successful venue search is coming up with a the very best shortlist of around d five venues that fit the brief and budget. Despite the growth of online directories and AI, there is nothing that matches our detailed knowledge of the huge number of venue options in London. 

We place over 250 events a year into over 150 different event venues and our excellent working relationships with theses venues and our buying power, means that we can deliver fast and well-priced quotations from our shortlisted venues.

How Does Your Venue Search Process Work?

Share your event requirements with Venue Search London and our consultants will shortlist suitable venues, check availability and negotiate rates. We manage the early search stages so you can focus on planning while we guide you toward the right space.

We will then arrange site visits for you, so you can see the spaces at first hand, meet the on-site event teams and ask any questions about your event, before making your final venue selection.

How Do You Choose Which Venues to Recommend?

Venue Search London considers your event type, budget, capacity, location preferences and technical needs. Our consultants use their industry knowledge to curate a shortlist that meets practical requirements and design expectations. We are privately owned and fully independent, allowing us to give unbiased recommendations to all our clients.

Can You Negotiate Rates or Added Value on Our Behalf?

Yes. Venue Search London often helps secure competitive rates, added extras or upgraded packages when possible. Our consultants liaise directly with venues to ensure clients receive strong value without lifting a finger. London venue pricing can vary hugely across similar venues, and our team use their unique knowledge and experience to find the best value options.

Do You Work With all Types of Events?

Venue Search London supports conferences, meetings, gala dinners, awards nights, press launches, Christmas parties and more. Our consultants draw from extensive London venue knowledge to match each event’s goals and budget. We do not work on weddings or private events.

Do You Only Work With London Venues?

Our consultants primarily focus on the capital’s many venues, keeping our knowledge sharp and recommendations accurate. However, we work with many clients to source venues throughout the UK (not to mention New York and Barcelona!).

Can You Help With Christmas Party Venues?

Absolutely. Venue Search London sources the best London Christmas party venues across the city, from quirky themed spaces to elegant halls. Our consultants handle availability checks and comparisons, ensuring you secure a festive venue that suits your guests and budget.

What About Conference and Meeting Venues?

Venue Search London specialises in sourcing professional conference and meeting venues, from dedicated conference centres to hotels for residential conferences and meetings. Our consultants provide tailored options, both in and around London, with the right capacities, layouts and facilities.

Do You Visit or Vet the Venues You Recommend?

From our London Bridge HQ, our team at Venue Search London regularly visit venues and stays up to date by attending all major new London venue openings. This helps our consultants recommend reliable, high‑quality options for every event brief.

Are There Certain Types of Enquiries You Won’t Consider?

We specialise in corporate and charity bookings only, so we do not offer our services for weddings or private events (there are great online directories covering this market). Our minimum budget is around £10,000 per event, though we will look at multiple event bookings with lower average spends if part of a programme.

Can You Help With Last‑minute Bookings?

Yes. Venue Search London often assists with rapid‑turnaround searches. Our consultants leverage strong venue relationships to check short‑notice availability and provide practical options quickly.

Can You Help Us With Logistics and Event Management if Required?

With some unique and historic London “dry hire” venues, we will work with you to find the best catering and production partners to deliver you event brief. In addition, we work closely with our sister Event Agency, who deliver event design and management services to the clients that require this additional service.
