Search, request, and book venues directly online for all your events.

We know you love SixPlus’ Concierge Service, but when you know what you want, the fastest and easiest way to book a space is by submitting Event Requests directly to the venues you like. See below to learn how.

Step 1: Search for a venue or space

Start your search on one of our city search pages:
New York, DC, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco (Chicago coming soon!)

Filter venues by group size, neighborhood, cuisine type, and more.

If you already have a venue in mind, go straight to that venue’s profile using the search bar at the top left of your page.

Step 2: Submit an Event Request

1. Click Request
Once you’ve identified a venue you’re interested in, click “Request” on that venue’s profile. Note: you can submit as many Event Requests as you’d like. On average, clients submit 3–5 Event Requests per event.

2. Pick your event type

3. Pick your date and preferred space

Follow the steps and enter your event details like group size, duration, and desired start time. Pick the space that’s best suited for your group size and event style (for e.g. a seated meal v. standing reception) and click “Continue.”

Optional: Select a menu

If you like, pick a menu and drink package, or leave this for later. Any menus and packages you select can be updated or removed later when you’re discussing details with the venue.

Optional: Select a package

Optional: Select add-ons

Select any extras or add-ons (like coat check or corkage, or whatever extras the venue may offer).

4. Submit your Event Request

Is your date flexible? Do you have questions about AV? Do you need a specific room setup? Or do you have any special dietary restrictions to share? Use this personal message box to include any extra details with your Event Request.

Step 3: Time to book!

Upon receiving your Requests, venues will confirm availability and pricing (i.e. Food & Beverage minimum + any room rental fees) for your date, time, and event duration.
On average, venues confirm within 1–6 business hours.

If a venue is available they will send you a draft proposal via email.
On average, 90% of Event Requests are confirmed by the venue.

Feel free to ask any questions using the “Message the Venue” box on the right side of your online proposal. Once your questions have been answered and you’ve picked the best fit venue, you’re ready to book!

Scroll to the bottom of the Event Page and click “Accept Terms and Pay Deposit” (no printing or signing paper contracts, unless your company requires you to).

You’ll be redirected to a secure payment page to enter your credit card details online.

Time-saving pro-tips

  1. Save one or more corporate credit cards for faster check-out
  2. Making a deposit will automatically cancel outstanding proposals for other venues and notify those venues via email.
  3. Looking for the venue’s wine list? Check your SixPlus proposal. Venues often upload wine lists to SixPlus so it’s easy for you to find.

Finalize details with the venue & enjoy your event

Once you’ve booked your event on SixPlus, you can sit back and relax. Your event’s manager at the venue will reach out to discuss details and how to make your event a success.

Details such as guest count, menu selections, allergies, desired room set-up, event schedule, and more, will all live in your online contract in SixPlus.
