Having worked in the conference and events industry for over eight years, I have found that clients often struggled to find venues that not only matched their specific needs but also provided that extra level of service that makes the difference to an annual general meeting, sales conference or promotional event.
In previous agencies, I helped clients find these venues based on nationwide databases. However, I felt the market needed a venue-finding service that wasn’t just a directory service, but had a much greater emphasis on not just facilities but quality service and that all-important “going the extra mile” factor.
Established in 2011, Top Venues aims to provide a FREE venue finding service that can deliver a premium result for all budgets!

Alternatively, if you are actively looking for a venue at the moment, feel free to get in touch via our contact page or if you have detailed requirements, via our enquiry form.
