Mirela Sula, Global Woman
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!
Kelly Austin, Expedition & Wilderness Medicine
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.

Saida Basheer, University of Leeds
The Venue Booker provided us with a fantastic selection of venues to view for the two events we enquired about – each of these met our brief, several offered something really special and most of them came with discounted rates that we would not have been able to achieve on our own. The service is free of charge and Jenny is friendly and helpful. We will definitely use them again.
