Describe your event. Get a shortlist you can send to your team.

Yes, and it is the part other tools get wrong. Hotels never publish how many rooms they can give a group, so most tools guess. We read each hotel the way a revenue manager would: does it have the rooms on your dates, and is its rate that week below or above its usual. A hotel discounting on your dates wants your business. One priced high expects to sell out anyway.

If your event is mostly about rooms, the search flips round: we find the hotels most likely to say yes first, then build the event around them. It is a read from public signals, with the reasons shown, not a confirmed booking.

From the real quotes Hire Space holds, built up over years of booking these venues. Each estimate says what it is based on, so a figure from a venue's own quote history says exactly that, and one estimated from the market says that instead. It will never invent a number to look confident.

Both are normal here. A travel-time limit is timed by car and by public transport, whichever you would actually use, and treated as your intent rather than a stopwatch. A brief across several cities runs as separate legs, each with its own search, checks and shortlist, so a strong set of London options never hides a gap in Manchester.

You will be told. A sit-down dinner at £10 a head is not a research problem, it is an arithmetic one, and pretending otherwise wastes your week.

Ambitious is different from impossible, though. Tight budgets, awkward dates and unusual combinations still get researched properly, and those are exactly the briefs where checking every venue pays off.

With your permission, yes. It reads your company's past enquiries and bookings to learn the calibre and style you tend to book, and weighs that into the search. If your organisation always ends up in heritage buildings, or never approves anything above a certain rate, it stops being something you have to explain every time.

That is the bit most AI tools leave you to do alone. Enquire in one click with your brief attached, or hand the shortlist to the Hire Space team for qualifying business enquiries and we take it from there: contacting venues, chasing the ones that go quiet, negotiating, and running it through to the contract.

No, and that is the main difference. Other venue platforms can only show you what is in their own database. We search the open web, then build a verified profile for whatever we find, so a venue that has never listed with anyone is just as findable as one that has.

Yes. The briefs it has been benchmarked on span cities including New York, Singapore, Sydney, Edinburgh, Manchester and Austin, and a single brief can cover several of them at once.

Yes. Deep Venue Research is available as a connected app in both, so you can run a brief without leaving the conversation you are already having and get the same shortlist back.

The first part is immediate: a couple of questions, then three quick ideas so you can check it has understood you. The full research then runs in the background across a hundred or more venues, so it is not an instant answer, and it is not meant to be. It is the work you would otherwise spend days on.

Never. Nothing goes to a venue until you choose to send it. You decide whether to enquire yourself or hand it to our team, and you can do that for one venue on the list or all of them.

Yes. Hire Space holds two UK patents covering our work in the AI application layer, which is the part that turns a brief into verified, priced, actionable venue options rather than a list of names.
