VenueScanner Reviews 86

A fantastic service from Megan - she was super fast at getting in touch from our website enquiry and found a great venue securing a visit which resulted in our immediate booking. She listened to our needs and saved a huge amount of time in searching and organising visits. Superb follow-up too - would absolutely recommend their services.

As a business I have tried many venue sourcing agencies and hands down find Venue Scanner the most successful and easiest to navigate. More importantly - they have converted enquiries and introduced me to clients.

Avoid this company if you value your money.

We stayed with VenueScanner for 12 months and received 0 bookings. Not low bookings. Not poor quality bookings. Literally zero. Meanwhile they happily collected monthly payments and continued pushing generic “account management” emails that looked copied and pasted from a basic marketing guide.

At the beginning everything sounds amazing. You hear promises about visibility, exposure, leads, growth and ROI. The reality? You are thrown into a giant directory with thousands of venues competing against each other while paying a premium subscription for nothing in return.

The “support” was painfully slow and completely ineffective. No strategy. No real optimisation. No active sales effort. No meaningful partnership. We generated more genuine enquiries ourselves through Instagram and Google than this platform produced in an entire year.

What makes this worse is the fact that they continue charging businesses monthly while clearly knowing many venues receive no return at all. Small hospitality businesses work hard for every pound. Paying hundreds or thousands yearly for zero results feels insulting.

We honestly would have achieved better results burning the money for warmth.

Incredibly easy to see all the good venue matches. My event was fairly complicated with two very different space needs for the same evening, and Jess was able to match my needs with locations at the price point I was looking for. Only feedback is for one of the venues (and not sure if this is VenueScanner feedback or feedback for the venue itself) - they showed beautiful panoramic views in their brochures, then put forward a room in the contract that had no views. Felt a little bit like a bait and switch, but Jess was ultimately able to get us the better view at a lower price.

Megan at Venue Scanner was incredibly helpful, responsive, and genuinely friendly throughout our search process which took a few months. She helped identify the right conference venue, attendee/employee hotel options, and even found a great happy hour location I had not anticipated. She answered all questions timely and offered her thoughtful recommendations on the best options for our needs. What really stood out was her commitment. When out of the office, she proactively looped in teammates to ensure everything kept moving smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication, and I’ll definitely be reaching out to Megan again for our event next year.

Megan was on top of everything, got exactly what we were after and could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. It made the whole process very easy.

I've worked with Venue Scanner on a number of occassions, and Ciara has always helped us with venue searching. Most recently, we were working on a major brand event, and she was absolutely outstanding throughout the entire process.

Ciara is consistently professional, responsive and incredibly proactive. She understood the needs and sensitivities of working with a charity and was always one step ahead. What really stood out was how commited she was to help us save vital funds and stay within budget, negotiating whenever possible and presenting alternatives without comprising on quality. She's always on point! No question was too small, and no request felt like too much trouble. Her guidance made what could have been a complex and overwhealming process feel manageable.
We are so grateful for her support and woud not hesitate to recommend her to anyone planning an event - particularly charities needing both expertise and financial awareness.
Thank you Ciara for going above and beyond!

I've worked with Megan from Venue Scanner two years in a row for an annual awards ceremony, and she has been nothing short of fantastic.

The service that Venue Scanner provides is extremely helpful and accommodating. From finding a range of venues across the country that meet our initial requirements like guest number and menu preferences, to arranging venue visits on our behalf; each stage has gone above and beyond and saved me and my team in marketing so much time.

I would recommend this company to anyone looking to find a venue for any type of event, and look forward to working with them again in future.

I was able to find the perfect venue for my company Christmas party and secure the date all in a matter of days, fast easy convenient and very helpful!!

Was a really easy process compared to scouring through Google/Maps for venue spaces. All in one place with our criteria and at no extra cost to us. Would definitely recommend

VenueScanner provided outstanding support throughout our venue search. The process was smooth, efficient, and stress-free thanks to their clear communication and responsiveness. Everything was handled professionally, and securing the venue was straightforward. Highly recommend their service for anyone planning an event!

I was very happy with the overall experience !

Megan really understood our needs and really gave her best to find the best venues and to make our event, one for the books !
I recommend

Kate from VenueScanner provided invaluable support when finding our Team Christmas Party venue (for ~250 people). She put together a selection of event spaces around London which all matched the criteria we had shared with her, whilst each offered a different style/set-up for us to consider. The viewings were very well organised and the one we picked was a great success. We can highly recommend VenueScanner for corporate parties!

So happy about our collaboration with VenueScanner! They helped me source a venue for our team event and immediately understood the vibe we were looking for, sharing a range of great options that ultimately led us to the perfect choice. We’ll definitely continue working with VenueScanner and highly recommend them to others as well!

What an amazing experience!

Kate helped us find a location for our company’s 10th anniversary, and she did an exceptional job!
Thank you so much, Kate — the venue was wonderful, and your communication and organisational skills were outstanding.

We've had an amazing time, the location was beautiful and we were looked after exceptionally well.

Zero enquiries, zero bookings, zero support and over 3K fees paid over 3 years. We DO NOT recommend this platform and believe me, they will chase you for the money eventhough they didn't deliver what they promised in the first place. Avoid!

Spent ages trying to find a restaurant that can actually host 27 people in a truly private dining room near our office to no avail. I put the enquiry out on Venue Scanner and Ciara came back with suggestions in under an hour. One was perfect and I ended up booking straight away. Super easy!

I have been using Venue Scanner for the past year from the standpoint of a listed venue on their site - Christ Church Spitalfields, London.

They have an amazing team, who as well as being lovely ☺️are so invested in getting the client the right location for their events. I must have had 2 enquiries in the year where weren't a great fit from the offset, but the rest have been spot on.

The team know their stuff, with a solid background in events, which helps the process for everyone!

Looking forward to what next year brings.

We worked with Kate Whiteley from Venuescanner for our B2B events and she was fantastic in helping us find the perfect venues - responsive, knowledgeable, always very helpful.
