All memorable events start with a drinks reception
It stirs a sense of anticipation. It loosens everybody up a little bit, gets conversation
flowing, and sets the tone for an event that’s going to leave a lasting impression.
If you’re planning an event that needs to get started with some drinks and mingling, this
is the digital marketplace for you. VenueScanner has curated a selection of over 20,000
drinks reception venues in locations around the country. It doesn’t matter whether
you’re planning your wedding, a corporate gathering or a private party celebration, we’ll
find a venue with the right style and resources to fit your spec.
Our head office is in the capital and so we’ve got a particular focus on the leading drinks
reception venues London has to offer, but we’ve got plenty of places for hire elsewhere,
too.
Our service is simple to work and there’s no charge for you to put in an enquiry. When
you’re ready, just enter your requirements into our venue search bar and start choosing
between our fantastic drinks reception venues. Cheers to you!
