Planning an event
Put the whole event in one place, compare meaningful matches and approach only the venues you want to speak to.
A clearer way to find an event venue
Stop repeating your event. Start with one clear Brief.
Tell Event Orchard what you’re planning once. We’ll compare your needs with venues across the South West, show why each one fits, and leave you in control of who receives your details.
Shortlisting is private. Nothing is sent to a venue until you choose.
Example match
Why this venue appeared
- Hosts your event type
- Capacity suits 120 guests
- In your chosen county
Why Event Orchard
A better introduction for everyone involved.
Venue hunting is often a row of beautiful photographs followed by the same enquiry form. Event Orchard starts with fit, then helps the right people begin a better-informed conversation.
For people planning
One Brief, a private shortlist and clear reasons behind every suggested venue.
For venues
Useful context from the first message: occasion, date, numbers, budget and style.
For trusted suppliers
A growing network of venue relationships, introduced where they genuinely add value.
The Event Brief
The useful part of an enquiry, captured once.
Not a mood-board quiz and not a lead form. Your Event Brief combines the facts a venue needs with the atmosphere you have in mind.
Write one useful Brief
Capture the practical details and the feel of your event in one place. No copying the same enquiry into form after form.
Compare the reasons, not just the pictures
See how each venue fits your location, capacity, event type, budget and style. A useful explanation sits beside every match.
Choose who hears from you
Build your shortlist privately. Your Brief only reaches a verified venue when you decide to send it.
Find your path
Planning something, or running the place it could happen?
Running a venue
Find your public listing, request access and replace limited sourced information with a profile you manage yourself.
Supplying events
Supplier connections are being introduced carefully through venues. We are not offering self-service supplier profiles yet.
Trust & transparency
Clear about what we know—and what we don’t.
Event Orchard is young. Trust will come from showing our workings, protecting your choices and correcting mistakes—not grand claims.
- Explainable matches
- Every venue we suggest comes with the reasons it matched your Brief. If it doesn’t fit, you can see why at a glance.
- Your Brief stays yours
- Shortlisting is private. No venue sees your Brief, your name or your contact details until you explicitly submit it to them.
- Honest listings
- Unclaimed listings are built from carefully sourced public business information and clearly labelled. Verified venues — who manage their own profiles — are always distinguished from unclaimed ones.
- Visible correction routes
- Every unclaimed listing carries clear routes to claim it, correct it or have it removed. Venues stay in control of how they appear.
