Why Use an Events Agent for Your Venue Search?

Finding the perfect venue for your event can be a time-consuming and overwhelming task, especially with so many options to choose from. Whether you're planning a corporate conference, product launch, networking event, or private celebration, the right venue is crucial to your event’s success. But how do you navigate the thousands of venues across the UK and ensure you're making the best choice?

This is where a venue agent like Match My Venue comes in. Using an experienced venue agent takes the stress out of the search, saves you time and money, and unlocks access to exclusive venues that you might not find on your own. Here’s why working with a venue agent is a smart move for any event planner.

1. Save Time & Reduce Stress

Searching for a venue involves hours of research, countless phone calls, and multiple site visits. A venue agent does all the legwork for you. At Match My Venue, we take your brief and quickly match you with hand-picked venues that suit your requirements, saving you valuable time so you can focus on planning the rest of your event.

We know exactly which venues work best for different event types, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a seamless experience from enquiry to booking.

2. Save Money with Negotiated Rates

A venue agent doesn't just find you a great venue – they help you secure the best possible deal. Many event spaces have flexible pricing structures, and an experienced agent knows when and where savings can be made. Whether it's securing discounted rates, negotiating added extras, or ensuring you’re not overpaying for unnecessary services, we work to get you the most value for your budget.

At Match My Venue, we charge venues a flat 10% commission, meaning our recommendations are based purely on what’s right for you, not which venue pays the highest fee. Our goal is to get you the best venue at the best price – without hidden costs or upselling. Don't worry this will not cost you more and most of the time we are able to secure savings that you are not able to get.

3. Exclusive Access to Hidden & Private Venues

Not all venues are publicly listed or advertised. Some of the most unique and exclusive spaces are only available through industry connections and trusted relationships. As venue agents, we have access to hidden gems, private members' spaces, and exclusive-use venues that you won’t find on standard venue directories.

Need a historic venue, luxury private space, or a creative warehouse? We know where to look and how to secure it for your event.

4. Expert Guidance & Industry Knowledge

With over 20 years of experience in the UK events industry, we bring in-depth knowledge of venues, contracts, and event logistics. We can advise on venue suitability, layouts, accessibility, technical requirements, and catering options, ensuring your event runs smoothly.

We also help you avoid common venue pitfalls – from restrictive contracts to hidden fees – by reviewing terms and conditions before you sign.

5. Hassle-Free Site Visits & Shortlisting

Instead of calling multiple venues and arranging visits yourself, we handle the coordination and scheduling of site visits. We also provide detailed insights and comparisons, so you can make an informed decision without feeling overwhelmed by options.

For those short on time, we can even visit venues on your behalf and provide virtual walkthroughs, photos, and key information.

6. A Personalised, Concierge-Style Service

Unlike automated venue search platforms, we offer a personalised, one-to-one service. We take the time to understand your event goals, brand identity, and logistical needs, ensuring the venue aligns perfectly with your vision.

We act as an extension of your team, handling venue negotiations, contracts, and details, so you don’t have to.

7. Support on Event Day & Beyond

Our support doesn’t end once you’ve booked the venue. We check in with the venue before your event, ensure all details are in place, and can assist with last-minute changes or venue-related issues. Our job is to make sure everything runs smoothly, so you can focus on delivering a successful event.
