Secure the Perfect Venue.
Zero Research Burnout.
Stop spending hours scrolling through Cvent and calling unresponsive banquet halls. Hire a dedicated Venue Sourcing VA to build curated shortlists, check date availability, negotiate F&B minimums, and request RFPs—overseen by a free Project Manager.
PROFICIENT IN SOURCING & EVENT DATABASES
End-to-End Venue Procurement
From aggressively hunting down hidden industrial lofts to negotiating food and beverage minimums with corporate hotels—our VAs operate as your dedicated property scouts.
Discovery & Shortlisting
Stop relying on Google pages 1 and 2. We dig deep into directories and local networks to find the perfect aesthetic match.
- Database Mining: Utilizing Cvent, Peerspace, and regional wedding/corporate directories to identify viable venues.
- RFP Creation: Drafting and distributing comprehensive Requests for Proposal outlining your exact dates, pax, and tech needs.
- Comparison Matrix: Compiling received quotes into a clean, apples-to-apples spreadsheet for rapid decision making.
Availability & Negotiation
We handle the relentless follow-up calls to banquet managers and push for the concessions you deserve.
- Date Checking: Calling venues daily to confirm actual availability, request holds, and track release deadlines.
- Rate Haggling: Pushing back on high F&B minimums and negotiating waived room rentals or discounted AV packages.
- Contract Review Prep: Highlighting steep attrition clauses, cancellation penalties, and hidden service fees before you sign.
Logistics & Site Coordination
Ensure the venue is actually prepared for your team by managing the pre-event administrative details.
- Site Visit Booking: Coordinating calendars between you and the venue manager to schedule in-person walkthroughs.
- COI Tracking: Ensuring your third-party vendors (florists, DJs) submit Certificates of Insurance to the venue on time.
- Deposit Management: Tracking payment schedules and alerting your finance team when venue deposits are due.
