02 Venue registry Scope note

How we read venue data before a shortlist is issued

Each row in our registry records what a room can actually hold, how it is served, and what it costs to run a corporate celebration there. We source the figures from site visits, capacity plans, and catering terms, then hold them against the brief.

A shortlist for a Ukrainian business brief usually carries three to five venues. Every option is filtered on district, seated capacity, catering arrangement, and AV provision before it reaches the client. Where a constraint cannot be met, it is written into the row rather than left for event day.
