THE PROBLEM

Venue sourcing shouldn’t pull you away from everything else.

Venue sourcing is one of many things on your desk, and rarely the one with the most time attached. You’re balancing operations, coordination, and suppliers, while finding venues for briefs that shift depending on who’s asking.

Competing Priorities

Venue sourcing on top of operations, office management, and supplier work.

Mixed Briefs

Meetings, away days, training, and team events all have different requirements.

Multiple Stakeholders

Balancing opinions, budgets, and last-minute changes from across the business.

Admin Overload

Research, calls, comparisons, and follow-ups that pull focus from core work.

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.

CASE STUDY

90 Person Company Away Day – Within Easy Reach of London

The Brief

A venue for a 90-person company away day within easy reach of London, with space for presentations, breakout sessions, lunch, and informal team activities across the day.

The Challenge

Limited time to research properly, and a need for venues that worked in practice, not just on screen. Location, transport, layout, catering, and budget all had to fit, and the day had to flow without logistical friction.

How We Helped

Recommended Tewinbury Farm: a flexible countryside setting accessible from London, with the right facilities for presentations, breakouts, lunch, and the informal side of the day. Shortlist focused on venues that genuinely suited the format, so the team could compare and decide quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help if venue sourcing has been handed to our team alongside other operational responsibilities?: Yes. That’s the situation most operations and office teams are working in when they come to us. Venue sourcing has landed on the desk alongside everything else, and there isn’t time to give it a clean run at it. We take on the research, assessment, and supplier coordination, so the job gets done without pulling you away from the day-to-day.
What information do you need to find suitable venue options quickly?: The basics are date or date range, attendee numbers, location preferences, format of the day, and budget. Beyond that, anything you can share about access, timings, catering, AV, and any internal requirements helps us assess venues properly. If you only have part of that, send what you have, we can work from a conversation and refine as the brief firms up.
Can you factor in practical details such as access, timings, catering, AV, room layout, and budget?: Yes. That’s most of the assessment. Capacity and location are the start of it, not the end. We look at how the venue actually works on the day: arrival and access, room layout for the format you need, AV capability, catering options, and whether the budget genuinely covers what’s required, including the things that often don’t appear in the headline price.
Can you find venues for company meetings, away days, workshops, training sessions, and team events?: Yes. These are some of the most common briefs we work on for operations and office teams. Whether it’s a regular meeting venue, a company away day venue within easy reach of the office, a training venue with the right room setup, or a workshop venue for a working session, we shortlist options that match the format and the practical requirements.
How do you help us avoid venues that look good online but don't work practically?: We assess venues against the brief, not the listing. Photos and floor plans only tell you so much. We look at how the space actually performs: room flow, breakout configuration, AV, catering logistics, access for deliveries, transport links for attendees. The venues that don’t hold up under that assessment don’t make the shortlist.
Can you help reduce the time spent contacting venues and comparing options?: Yes. That’s the main thing the service does. We handle the outreach, availability checks, and initial comparison work, then give you a short, focused shortlist with the reasoning behind each option. Instead of working through twenty venues, you’re comparing three or four that already fit.
Can you work with fixed budgets, preferred locations, or specific internal requirements?: Yes. Constraints are useful, not a problem. Fixed budgets, preferred locations, supplier requirements, accessibility needs, dietary requirements, internal policies on travel or carbon, all of it helps us narrow the search to venues that genuinely fit, rather than ones that almost do.
How is Function Fixers different from giving the task to someone internally to search online?: Search platforms give you a long list to filter. We give you a short list that’s already been assessed against the brief. Internal time spent contacting venues, chasing responses, and comparing options gets pulled into our process instead of yours. The service is free to use for buyers, so the time saving doesn’t come with a cost.
