Types of Corporate Event Venues
Sometimes our clients say to us ‘ I didn’t realise you could help me book that event, I thought you only booked meetings!’
So, we wanted to let you know about all the different types of corporate events we can help you book.
We Can Help With All Types of Events
This list is not exhaustive by any means so please drop us an email or give us a call and ask if your event is something we can help with.
If we can’t help you then we may be able to put you in touch with someone who can.
As no two events are the same, we will take a detailed brief from you – our advice is “tell us as much as you can” to help us find that perfect fit for you.
Sourcing the right style of venue for your event is key as it reflects your company ethos and different events or companies may require different styles of venue. One venue style does not fit all!
This is where we can come in and give you some valuable support.
We can help with all types of Corporate Events
Let us help you book a fabulous Event.
Conferences
Finding the right venue can be an important factor in any conference’s success especially when there is such a great choice of venues available to book.
Whether it is a conference for 50 theatre style or 400 cabaret with exhibition space and several syndicate rooms, we can find you the perfect venue and work hard to get you the very best rates.
Head over to our Conference page for more info.
Meetings
From small one-to-one meetings for 2 people to classroom meetings for 50 (and everything in-between), we can help you find a great space for your next meeting.
Some meetings may require a modern, minimalist environment, for example, whereas on other occasions a more traditional setting will be appropriate. They can be residential and non-residential.
You can find out more information and some great tips on our Meetings page.
Kick Off Meetings / Away Days
Following on from the ‘standard’ meeting event, we have noticed in the past couple of years that Kick Off Meeting are very popular.
Product Launches / Roadshows
Making the right first impression – you only get one chance to make a great first impression and whilst this can apply to a lot of event types it’s even more important when you are trying to sell or launch a product or service.
Executive Dinners
Looking for somewhere a little special for your CEO to entertain clients or perhaps for a presentation?
Whether it is a private dining room in a swanky 5 star hotel, private dining in a Michelin starred restaurant or simply a private dining room in a Restaurant.
Breakfast Meetings
In this busy world we live in, executives can always make time for Breakfast!
Ranging from a full blown seated English Breakfast to more informal lighter options the choice is yours!

Networking Events/Drinks Receptions

Gala/Awards Dinners/ Dinner Dances
Organising an Awards or Gala dinner can be daunting as there can be so many elements, so start planning as early as you can. Popular venues can get booked up early so the more time you have to find the venue the better.
Gala and Charity dinners typically feature entertainment, dinner, dancing and sometimes a raffle or auction. This type of event is often about the wow factor, whether that means having a theme or the choice of venue becomes the wow factor!
Awards dinners (or Award lunches) can be a black-tie formal dinner event, or equally you could go for a less formal event with poseur tables, canapés and a cocktail reception, and a snappy 45 minute ceremony.
Entertainment is another factor to consider and we can help you with this too!
