Venue Sourcing

Do you spend too much time looking and managing venues, not sure you are getting the right venues for your events and getting the best price? We have worked with hundreds of venues, all unique in their own way. Just because one event works at a particular venue it doesn’t mean every event you run will.

THE PERFECT VENUE

We can make finding a venue simple for your business. We will work with you to understand what you want to achieve from your event and identify a suitable venue.

Event Goals

It is important that the event is suitable for the type of event you are hosting. An exclusive dinner might work best in a city centre location whereas a team away day might work best in a rural location.

Venue Specification

We produce a venue specification, this sets out the ideal and essential requirements for the event. This venue specification is sent to potential venues and put online. We keep our clients confidential throughout this process to ensure you do not receive unwanted marketing materials from venues.

Venue Proposal

We clearly set out in a report what we feel is the most suitable venue for your event for you to consider. This will take into account your budget and also the requirements within the venue specification.

Site Visits

We coordinate site visits for you to look around the venue. You can see all the photos in the world, but you will not know if the venue is suitable for you until you have looked around.

Venue Management

We support with the management of the venue - ensuring the venue have all of your event details to ensure the smooth delivery of the event.

Rachel EvansStakeholder Engagement Manager (Interim) - West Midlands Rail Executive

We commissioned BA Events because from the outset they got fully immersed into understanding what the GRC wanted to achieve from this event. They demonstrated professionalism and commitment at every stage to maximise benefits and outcomes for both the GRC and event stakeholders. BA Events were pivotal to making the event a very successful GRC launch and the proof was in the electric and positive atmosphere on the day. The after event care by BA Events was also brilliant.

BA Events are more than just an events company. They really managed the event seamlessy from start to end. They really get under the skin of exactly what it is we need from them and the outputs that we’re looking at for the day. And because they’d done the first event they were familiar with what we did the previous year and worked with us to ensure that we didn’t deliver the same event again. There were some differences to help keep it exciting and rngaging for those that were in attendance. And they also took the pressure off ourselves in terms of their delivery on the day. They brought a lot of energy into the room and they realy got people engaged.

Needing to move our event online this year posed a challenge for us, thankfully a colleague introduced us to BA Events. From that first introduction, we were comfortable that Luke and Ben understood our vision for the event and the sentiment we wished to convey to our volunteers and partners. There are extremely knowledgeable about the use of online platforms, taking time with us to explain the process and the benefits of different aspects of the system made the decision process much easier. Their passion and enthusiasm towards helping us to host this event is the reason the event was a huge success.

Louise Collins Director - Transport Focus

BA Events injected fresh, creative thinking to the design of these workshops which was just what we wanted. They worked closely and collaboratively with us on the planning stages to ensure everything went smoothly. We were particularly impressed by the professional facilitation of the events which put delegates at ease to get the best contribution from them. Overall, working with BA Events helped us to make these workshops a real success.

I can absolutely recommend BA Events; they did a brilliant job designing and hosting our virtual away day and we’re very pleased with the results! Their approach was thoughtful, fun and engaging – a real pleasure to work with.

Charlotte Todd Director of Marketing and Communications

CMAC Group’s company-wide ‘one team meetings’ are an important part of our internal communications strategy, ensuring that everyone is aligned on our goals and the plans for getting there.  Our mission is to make sure that employees feel appreciated, listened to and part of one team. This year we‘ve partnered with BA Events ensure our remote workers and those located across Europe have the same awesome experience as employees attending in person.

Sam Uren Engineering Director - SLC Rail

We’ve worked with BA Events for many years and we’re always impressed with Luke’s creativity, enthusiasm and drive. 2020 was a difficult year where we had to adapt our organisation quickly to remote working and introduce new digital tools and technologies. What has made this easier for us was working with a company like BA Events, who consistently came up with ideas to increase employee engagement and has made it possible for us to run our events schedule online. Luke has enabled us to keep the SLC culture alive and stay connected with each other.
