About the estimates
How accurate is the venue budget estimate?
It is a planning guide, not a quote. Actual rates depend on the venue, event date, availability, catering, production and your exact brief.
What does DDR mean?
DDR means day delegate rate. It commonly combines meeting-room hire with standard daytime catering and basic delegate facilities, although inclusions vary by venue.
Does the room-size estimate include breakout rooms?
The headline space figure is for the main event room. The suggested requirements also allow for breakout rooms and supporting spaces where selected.
Can Function Fixers work to a fixed budget?
Yes. Share the budget with the team and they can focus the search on venues and formats that are realistic for it.
