Price Guides

Why Price Guides Matter More Than Ever

Adding a price guide to your venue profile plays a crucial role in improving the quality, relevance, and accuracy of enquiries you receive.

Key Benefits

Improves enquiry quality – Clients understand your pricing expectations before reaching out

Saves time – Fewer enquiries from budgets that don’t align with your venue

Acts as a budget filter – Clients can only enquire within the price range you set

Your price guide should act as a clear guideline, not a final quote. The key question to ask is:

“What’s the minimum figure we’re realistically happy to entertain?”

Start there, and build your pricing around it.

What’s Changed: Smarter, Venue-Specific Pricing Logic

We’ve recently re-engineered our enquiry forms to ensure you receive fewer but better-matched enquiries, with budgets aligned to your venue from the outset.

What’s New

Enquiry pricing is now bespoke to each venue, based on your starting price
Clients see a venue-specific budget range, not a generic site-wide range
The “Not sure yet” budget option has been removed to encourage clearer expectations
Every enquiry now includes a budget value tailored to your venue

This means clients are better educated on pricing before submitting an enquiry, helping to reduce time wasted on misaligned budgets.

Since this update went live, every enquiry submitted includes a venue-specific budget.

How Pricing Works in Practice

The price you set acts as a hard filter

If your minimum price is £10,000, clients cannot select a lower budget band

Your venue will not be shown to clients whose stated budget falls below your minimum

Pricing is always set by the venue, not the client

This ensures that when a client enquires, they are already within a realistic budget range for your space.

Best Practice for Setting Prices

To get the most value from this update, we strongly recommend:

Set a minimum day rate as your primary price point
Treat hourly rates as supplementary, not your main pricing logic
Treat day delegate rates as supplementary, not your main pricing logic.
Avoid half-day or low-value room pricing where possible
Remove small or low-value spaces if they attract the wrong type of enquiry

If your venue currently only has hourly pricing, the system will still rely on legacy price ranges.
To fully benefit from the new logic, calculate a realistic minimum day rate and set this as your starting price.

You can add pricing for:

Venue hire
Minimum spend
Per-delegate pricing

You can also set different price types per room.
For example:

A Private Dining Room may show per-delegate pricing
Your main profile may show a minimum hire cost

Important Notes

❗ Please always use net prices (excluding VAT)
✔ Keep pricing clear and simple – it’s a guide, not a quote
✔ Always review the full brief, not just the headline budget
✔ Accurate pricing leads to better-fit enquiries and higher conversion

Final Thought

Pricing is one of the most powerful tools you have on the platform.
The more accurate and intentional your pricing is, the better the enquiries you’ll receive.
