Strategic
Venue Sourcing

We’re specialists in venue sourcing and our clients trust us to deliver so much more. With decades of experience in event planning, production, and delivery, we support you through every stage of the event journey.

We source venues that align with your event vision and brand values, as well as practical logistics, always considering your audience demographics and experience in mind. 

Collaborating with our trusted network of hotel and venue partners globally, we propose a variety of options for clients to consider. 

From private dining and team offsites to major conferences and brand activations, we are passionate about trusted venues and new openings and we know how to elevate the simplest event while securing the best value.

Event Planning

For clients who require more than sourcing, we offer full event planning, design and project management including creative development, supplier coordination, and on-site delivery.

We plan, design and deliver exceptional events with clarity, creativity, and care at every step.

Corporate Consultancy

Should you need help shaping your internal processes, we offer light-touch consultancy for event owners and teams including briefing templates, policy creation, preferred supplier programmes, and strategic meetings management programme advisory (SMMP). 

Our Approach

The People Behind the Strategy

Founded by Caroline Lumgair Wiseman, a respected leader in global Meetings & Events for 30 years. We’re flexible by design. You can engage us for what you need no more, no less. We’re venue strategists backed by full event planning expertise.

Our background as experienced event planners means we know how every part of an event fits together. We bring that perspective into every brief, even if we’re only sourcing the venue.

That means:

We read between the lines of your requirements.

We flag what others might miss.

We suggest ideas and improvements often before you’ve thought of them.

We make your life easier by handling the details (and the potential issues) for you.

Whether we’re sourcing one venue or managing your entire event, we stay calm,
focused, and collaborative always guided by what’s best for you.

Our Model

Flexible. Fair. Unbiased. Built around your needs. Our venue sourcing service is usually commission-funded, which means no cost to you in most cases.

If you select a non-commissionable venue or the event doesn’t go ahead after significant work, we’ll agree a small, transparent research fee based on the time involved.

For planning or consultancy services, we offer:

No surprises. No one-size-fits-all. Just thoughtful, tailored service that respects your time, budget, and internal processes.

Our Community

We’re not just growing a business. We’re building something bigger. We’re bringing together a community of event professionals, in-house teams, venue partners and industry experts who care about doing things well and doing things differently.
Each month, we’ll host informal events, briefings and conversations that connect people, share ideas, and highlight new openings and fresh thinking. 

You’re invited.

Our Values

Transparency

We believe in open communication and honest advice no hidden costs or vague promises.

Kindness

We’re warm, respectful, and human with our clients, our partners, and each other.

Integrity

We’re not tied to any venues. We only recommend what’s genuinely right for you.
