Some have been briefing us for decades. Here is what they say about working with us, and a few of the briefs that have landed on our desk.
Every quote on this page is from someone who briefed us, with their name and their organisation attached. We do not publish anonymous testimonials.
“CVBS can do everything for you. Don’t waste hours trying to do it yourself, they are the experts. They have the ideas, suggestions and connections to find that perfect venue anywhere. They take a brief, recommend multiple options, source quotes, book venues and arrange the contracts with the supplier.”
“At first I couldn’t believe this service was free to us as clients. I’ve price-checked them a number of times over nine years and each time could not have got a cheaper rate had I gone directly to the venue. Simply a cost-effective, quality service.”
Indicative examples, with the client details left out. The outcomes are real.
The brief: A professional body needed a CBD venue with a plenary room, eight breakouts and 400 delegate rooms, in one of the busiest months of the year.
What happened: Found and secured inside a week, at a day delegate rate 14 per cent below the venue's published price, with the accommodation packaged into the same negotiation.
The brief: An executive team wanted somewhere to think properly, well away from the office, and they wanted it soon.
What happened: An exclusive-use property in wine country, confirmed within 48 hours with audio visual and private dining included, and still under the original budget.
The brief: A brand needed a space that looked the part for a flagship launch, with a difficult load-in and a demanding audio visual set-up.
What happened: Matched to a design-led venue, with the styling and audio visual partners coordinated around it as one managed booking.
