This week we've kicked off with several venue finds for clients upcoming events🏨
We spend hundreds of hours every year researching, recommending, quoting and keeping up to date with the top venues for our clients corporate events (from conference locations, small meetings, summer and christmas parties, away days and team building events).
We've put together our 5 top tips on finding the best venue for your corporate event:
⭐What are your actual needs: Consider the size of your event, location preferences (look at where people will be traveling from), ensure you know your budget, and any specific requirements you may have such as AV equipment, catering options, accessibility and transportation links.
⭐Look at your options: Don't settle for the first venue you come across. Research multiple venues to compare facilities, services, and pricing to find the best fit for your event.
⭐Check it out: It's hard to tell much about a venue just by looking at photos (although we in the Huxley office do love 3D venue tours). Schedule site visits to potential venues to get a feel for the space, layout, and ambiance! This will help you envision how your event will flow and gets your to experience it before your guests do.
⭐Check reviews: Look for reviews from previous clients or ask for references from the venue to get a sense of their reputation and the quality of service they provide.
⭐ Negotiate and book: Once you've found the perfect venue, negotiate the terms of the contract, including pricing, services, and any additional requirements. Make sure to get everything in writing and confirm all details to avoid any last-minute surprises! (Think about things like AV, table linen, if you'll need extra space for performers or speakers green rooms etc).

We had a brilliant time organising a carnival inspired fun day for our clients corporate fun day this weekend! Unprecedented British Weather and 50mph wind speeds meant the event had to be moved inside, last minute, but it didn't detract from the fun! Carnival dancers, live band, props and theming, VW Photobooth, Glitter Bar, Strike a Light, Coconut Shy and Basketball, to name just some of the activities and entertainment we organised at the wonderful @parkwoodgolfclub ☀️💃🍔
A big empty arena, to a buzzing exhibition! We loved working on the Norfolk Chambers of Commerce B2B Exhibition last week! Amazing buzz with so much effort from so many organisers, suppliers, exhibitors, student helpers and the amazing attendees 👏
P.s clearly our skills lie in event organising and not video creation!
Corporate Networking Garden Party organised by Huxley Events
Our Events Team love it when we ask them to photos on events! They're usually so engaged with the guests or making sure everything is running smoothly that they don't have time. We did manage to get a couple of ones from a local Garden Party Networking event we hosted alongside one of our favourite last clients last week though (the heat certainly didn't put people off whipping up their own smoothies on our smoothie bike)!
A casual event with brunch style catering, smoothie bikes and a garden games ☀️
