We all like poring over glossy hotel and destination brochures … if only venue finding were that simple!

For a PA, finding the perfect venue is a way to really make your mark on the business and impress the boss. Finding the right partner to help with the process can be critical.

Before a venue finding agency presents a PA with their selection of suitable venues, there are numerous hidden risks and red tape to be got through … but there are also opportunities to save money.

Issues with venue specifications and invoicing always crop-up in the recce and booking process, so having an experienced partner on-side to deal with the legalities and technicalities is important.

Having your venue finders go through the chosen location with a fine toothed comb saves PAs time. A good agency will ensure the rooms are spot on, the meeting space is up to spec and the finer points are sorted, even down to whether the air conditioning is too loud or if the dietary options are adequate.

A good venue finder gets under the skin of their client, takes the workload away and allows them to focus on their creativity and value judgments — i.e the fun bit!
