Venue Sourcing, Sorted: How a Venue Finding Agency Takes the Stress Out of Event Planning

Planning a corporate event is no small task. Whether it’s a leadership away day, internal comms event, company celebration or brand launch, the pressure to deliver something memorable is always there. But one of the biggest challenges many teams face is finding the right venue — and fast.

That’s where a venue finding and booking agency like Make Events can take the stress off your shoulders completely. With expert support, insider knowledge, and a creative edge, we don’t just help you find a venue — we help you set the scene for something unforgettable. We stand out amongst event companies Manchester based, as we always go that extra mile. 

The Venue Sets the Tone

Your venue is more than just a location. It’s the first impression your guests have. It’s the space that frames your content, your brand and your message. It can energise the room or fall flat. That’s why getting the venue right is crucial — and why relying on a generic search engine just doesn’t cut it.

Venue sourcing involves more than ticking off a few logistical boxes. It’s about finding a space that works operationally and creatively. Does it reflect your brand? Does it flow with your agenda? Will it excite and inspire the people walking through the door? These are the questions we help you answer.

Venue Finding, Done Differently

At Make Events, our venue sourcing service is fast, tailored, and stress-free. You come to us with a brief, and we come back with high-quality, on-brand options — without the overwhelm.

We begin by understanding what success looks like for your event. Who are your attendees? What’s the message or experience you want to deliver? What are your budget and timelines? From there, we shortlist venues that meet your criteria and enhance the wider event vision.

We don’t just search. We curate.

From boardrooms in boutique hotels to expansive event spaces with full production capabilities, we hand-pick options that make sense for you — and stand out for your audience.

What’s Included in Our Venue Sourcing & Booking Service?

Our venue sourcing and booking offer is designed to be flexible and supportive at every stage. Whether you’re organising a one-off event or multiple touchpoints across the year, here’s what you can expect:

• Initial briefing session – to understand your event, objectives, audience, and brand requirements.
• Bespoke venue proposals – tailored recommendations with availability, costs, visuals, and key info.
• Availability management – we liaise with venues, place holds, and ensure no opportunity is missed.
• Site visits – coordinated and attended by our team where required.
• Contract management – we handle the booking process, negotiate costs, and review all fine print.
• Full support – from first enquiry through to final confirmation, we’re on hand for every detail.
  

All of this is backed by our broader events expertise — so if you decide you need styling, production, entertainment or support with guest experience, we’ve got that covered too.

We Know the Spaces That Work

We’ve built a vast network of venue partners across the UK and internationally. This gives us immediate access to availability, preferred rates, and often exclusive options that aren’t publicly listed. But more importantly, we know what works — and what doesn’t.

Some venues might look great on paper but have hidden issues: poor acoustics, awkward layouts, limited branding potential, or inflexible catering. We know the right questions to ask, and we won’t waste your time with unsuitable suggestions.

We’ve sourced venues for household brands and scale-ups alike — across a wide range of industries and event formats. Whether it’s 30 people in a creative off-site setting or 3,000 people at a fully branded arena, we can make it happen.

A Strategic Partner, Not Just a Supplier

We pride ourselves on going beyond expectations. We don’t just find venues. We build experiences — and the venue is the foundation.

Even if you’re not using our full event management services, our venue sourcing team approaches your brief with the same creative energy, attention to detail, and understanding of brand culture that runs through everything we do.

We’re not here to tick a box. We’re here to elevate your event from the very first step.
