Your Essential Venue Search Guides
Planning an event isn’t just about finding a space — it’s about choosing the right layout, getting guest numbers right, and understanding the facilities each venue offers. To help you make the best choice, we’ve created a set of quick guides covering everything from capacity bands and catering rules to AV and accessibility.
Click on the guides below to explore each topic in detail and get insider tips on booking the perfect venue.
Open plan or multi-room? Theatre, cabaret, boardroom or banquet? The right layout shapes flow, capacity and guest experience. For presentations and keynotes, theatre style maximises seats; for training and workshops, cabaret gives tables plus sightlines; for strategy days, boardroom keeps discussion focused; for dinners and awards, banquet/seated sets a formal tone. If you’re running a mixed agenda (keynote → breakout → reception), look for multiple spaces or rapid-turn layouts. Check pillars, ceiling height and rigging points for sightlines and stage/AV. Build in buffer space for registration, cloakroom and catering stations so aisles stay clear. Use the filters above to choose a layout, then enter capacity—our search will band intelligently so you see realistic options, not just exact matches.
Capacity is more than a headcount; it depends on layout, furniture and fire exits. Hotels often publish multiple capacities per room; dry-hire spaces will vary with your furniture plan. As a rule of thumb, standing receptions fit more than seated dinners, and cabaret fits fewer than theatre due to tables. In our search, enter your expected number and pick a layout—results round sensibly (e.g., 53 theatre ≈ 50–150 band) and show venues that comfortably meet or exceed your needs. For accommodation, add bedrooms; we round down to the nearest 10 and show that number and above (e.g., 63 → 60+). When comparing, check usable floor area, ceiling height and any staging you plan to add—these all reduce practical capacity.
Great AV is invisible—bad AV is unforgettable. Hotels typically include in-house AV and technicians; dry-hire venues often require external suppliers. Decide early if you need: screen/projector, PA system, stage lighting, recording, video conferencing or live streaming. Hybrid events need reliable uplink and camera positions; ask for floor plans and power/data points. Preferred-partner AV teams know the venue’s quirks and can speed load-in. If you’re bringing external AV, confirm access routes, rigging permissions and curfews. Use the advanced filters (Screen/Projector, PA, In-house AV, Live Streaming, Video Conferencing, Recording, External AV Permitted) to shortlist spaces that already match your tech brief.
Operations vary: hotels offer end-to-end packages with kitchens on site; dry-hire gives you a blank canvas but you’ll contract caterers, bar, staffing and equipment. Many venues run preferred supplier lists for catering, furniture and AV—this saves time and risk; some charge a fee if you go fully external (dry hire or external caterers allowed). Always check licences: alcohol, late licence (past 11pm) and TENs for extensions. Ask about load-in/out windows, waste, and kitchen access. Our filters let you pick Dry Hire, External Caterers Allowed, Serviced Hire, Alcohol Licence, Late Licence, TENs, Preferred Supplier List, Staffing Included—so you only see venues that fit how you plan to operate.
