If you’ve ever had to source a venue for a corporate event in London, you’ll know how fast the process can spiral.
Venue websites with no pricing. Enquiry forms that go unanswered for days. Packages that don’t match the brief. Site visits that eat up half your diary. And after all that, you’re still not sure you’ve found the right space.
That’s exactly the problem ARK Venue Finder was built to solve.
ARK Venue Finder is a specialist corporate venue finding service based in London. We help companies plan everything from boardroom dinners and team offsites to conferences, Christmas parties, networking events, and summer drinks receptions, and we do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Our approach is deliberately personal. Rather than sending generic lists of 40 venues and leaving you to make sense of them, we take the time to properly understand your brief before anything gets recommended. Your objectives, your budget, your guest numbers, your preferred area of London, all of it shapes the shortlist we put in front of you.
We’ve also built strong, trusted relationships with venues and suppliers across London over the years. That means honest advice, faster responses, and access to spaces that often don’t appear in a standard Google search.
We keep things simple, transparent, and collaborative from the very first conversation.
Tell us about your event, the type, guest numbers, preferred location in London, budget, and any specific requirements. No lengthy forms. A quick email or call works perfectly.
We use our venue knowledge and industry relationships to identify the spaces that genuinely fit your brief, not just the ones that happen to be available.
You receive a curated shortlist of recommended venues, tailored to your requirements and ready to compare at a glance.
We arrange and coordinate all site visits, so you can see your shortlisted spaces in person before making a decision.
Once you’ve chosen your venue, we introduce you directly to the onsite team for contracts, deposits, and all final coordination.
We always follow up after the event. It’s how we keep getting better, and how we make sure the next event is even easier.
Julie — Founder & Venue Specialist
Julie moved to London in 2013 and spent over a decade building her career in hospitality across hotels and restaurants, in Sales and Events, and eventually as Head of Sales.
She launched ARK Venue Finder to create something she’d never quite found herself: a venue finding service that puts the client relationship first, every time.
Having worked on the venue side before moving to the client side gives her a perspective most venue finders don’t have. She knows what a venue sales team is thinking when they send a proposal and she uses that to get better results for the people she works with.
Marion — Venue Specialist
Marion joined from a background in London hospitality, having worked in Food & Beverage and reservations before moving into events. She now leads on venue sourcing, proposal creation, and tracking down the kinds of spaces most clients would never find on their own.
If there’s a hidden gem venue in London that suits your brief, Marion will find it.
Choosing the right venue shapes every aspect of your event, the atmosphere, the flow, the impression it leaves. Getting it wrong is costly. Getting it right is what we’re here for.
Working with ARK means you get:
Our clients include executive assistants, office managers, marketing teams, and senior leaders across London’s professional and corporate sectors, including law firms, private equity, real estate, and financial services.
