Sarah Grant, GKN
Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
I recommend using The Venue Booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, Jenny made my event possible. I would use The Venue Booker again.
Rochelle Cassell, Private Event
The event went very well thank you - the venue was superb and fitted our requirements exactly. I wholeheartedly recommend it. I will definitely be in touch when I need help finding a venue for our next event.
Anne Robson, Virtrium
I'd be pleased to recommend Jenny, The Venue Booker. I knew our request was going to be a tall order but she rose to the challenge, negotiated some cracking rates and retained her patience and professionalism despite some spectacular dithering at our end!
