THE PROBLEM

Your venue needs to support people, participation and purpose.

For HR and employee engagement teams, the venue is part of the employee experience. It can shape how people learn, connect, contribute and feel about the day.

A venue may meet the basic brief, but still fall short on access, comfort, layout, catering or atmosphere. That is why you need options that feel right for employees and work properly on the day.

Culture Fit

The venue should reflect the purpose of the event and feel aligned with your company culture.

Employee Experience

The space needs to feel welcoming, comfortable and worth attending.

Accessibility and Inclusion

The venue should support access, dietary needs, wellbeing considerations and attendee comfort.

Value for Spend

The venue should justify the investment by supporting the outcome of the day.

A More Practical Way to Find Venues

Most venue platforms give you a long list of options to filter yourself. That means more time, more emails, and more uncertainty about whether any of it will actually work for your event. We do the heavy lifting so you can focus on the big picture. Our service is free, impartial and built around you.

As someone who often acts on behalf of venues promoting themselves to venue finding agents, I have found Function Fixers to be a pleasure to work with. Function Fixers consistently share enquiries which are relevant to the venue and always present enquires in a detailed, succinct brief. Function Fixers always look to do their best for venues with their willingness to consistently write promotional articles highlighting the importance choosing the right venue has on the success of any event.

We've had the pleasure of working with Function Fixers for many years and have always found them to be a trusted and valued partner. Their team takes the time to really understand our venues, our unique experiences, and what makes each space special. They keep themselves up to date with any changes or new offerings, which means the enquiries and event briefs they send are always relevant and well considered. Communication is consistently excellent. The information they provide is accurate, responses are always prompt, and they make the booking process seamless for both our teams and our clients. They work in true partnership with Restaurant Associates, taking a collaborative approach that helps us deliver the best possible experience. What really sets Function Fixers apart is their willingness to share knowledge, industry insight, and expertise. They are proactive, professional, and genuinely invested in achieving successful outcomes for everyone involved. We would highly recommend Function Fixers to anyone looking for a venue-finding partner who is knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to delivering exceptional service.

As a venue we've worked with Function Fixers for a number of years and they've always been a pleasure to work with. The team send well-qualified briefs with all the information we need, which makes it much easier to respond quickly and put together the right proposal for their client. They're also great at keeping in touch throughout the enquiry process. Communication is always friendly and straightforward, and you genuinely feel like they're working with you rather than just sending enquiries out and hoping for the best. From a venue perspective, it's great to work with an agency that understands the importance of building good relationships with its venue partners.

Heather's support throughout the process was outstanding — responsive, detail-oriented, and incredibly helpful at every stage. She understood my event requirements and consistently provided suitable options quickly. Her professionalism, efficiency, and proactive communication made a real difference to the success of our planning, and it was a pleasure to work with Heather. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to others.
