It’s not lost on us how important being a host is. There’s a lot of pressure for someone organizing and hosting a party or event. 

And a huge part of hosting is the venue, the space you will trust to help provide an outstanding event experience for your guests.

If it’s for a party, you want everyone’s needs and wants covered, you want exceptional service, attention to detail, and all the nuances sorted out ahead of time so there’s minimal hiccups, and the expectations are laid out clear as day before the big day. 

How does Tagvenue make absolutely sure that we only list the highest-quality venues? And by extension, take the pressure of people who are just looking to find the perfect place to host their big party or event? 

Validating Venues Personally

We put every single venue through a detailed, immersive process to be approved and added to our website. 

It’s not done by a bunch of bots, or an automated signup system, or by some VenueAI we created — the verification and vetting process for each venue is handled by a genuine, true human being. 

Our venue onboarding team personally scouts countless venues weekly to be added to our site, and we work together with the ones we decide meet our high standards and expectations. 

We’ve spoken on the phone with nearly 80% of the venues you will find listed here. This means we know the venue manager, we’ve taken time upfront so you can know they’re trusted to deliver excellent service to guests like you.

Our Proven, Picky Process With You in Mind

We are very selective about who we want to have as a venue, and through this method we are in full control and agreement with venues who join our platform. We receive countless inquiries from venues to join our platform, but not all of them are added, because every venue must represent a high level of quality, consistency, and care. 

While we do add venues to our site that reach out to us, they still undergo a rigorous research and discovery process to ensure just the same quality. 

That’s why we aren’t willing to slap just any venue on our pages. They have to have a proven track record of communication, of delivering, and they know the expectations of our customers, as well as our own high expectations. 

For us, when all three sides — you, the venue, and us — are clear in communication, engaging and empathetic, and driven by high quality and standards, the best possible outcome becomes reality. 

Why You Can Put Total Trust in Our Venues

We worked hard to become experts in the venue business, to act as your personal liaison in finding the right fit, as well as providing a party planning partner you can rely on. 

That means: 

• Party Planning Partners | We’ve been in your shoes, planning a big party, organizing a company outing, even searching high and low for that picturesque wedding venue, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. We put our first hand experiences to use throughout everything we do, with venues and with you, our customers  
• Venue Onboarding Humans | You want a personal touch when working toward planning your big event, and extends to the venue host. We have real live people who are the first point of contact and touchstone for all venues, and nothing but quality and consistency is on their minds, just like you
• Standardization | You can expect elevated standards because we ensure that every essential element for a venue and its offers are captured consistently by following a proven methodology. You can rest assured that we revisit this frequently for any possible improvements
• Guidelines | Because we provide every venue with training materials, education, best practices, our high-level expectations, quality control parameters, and consistent check-ins from our venue crew, you know that any venue you contact will be ready and willing to work for you
• Venue Verification | Our meticulous processes personally ensure that prices, photos, amenities information, contact person, and every other element of a venue is accurate and verified before its posted to a venue page, and after the fact as well. We have a system to flag anything that might not match and take action instantly 

What you’ll find inside the site: 

• Event Offerings | You don’t want to waste needless time on an exhausting back-and-forth, so we structure as much upfront information and content as possible. You can see clearly what a venue looks like, what it has to offer, how its been rated by others, and your point of contact person 
• Clear Pricing | You want to cut to the chase, and through the fat. Nothing hidden around the corner, no boogieman fees waiting in the wings, no add-ons that aren’t disclosed, it’s all upfront
• Central Communication Center | You’ll have one place where you can see all your venue communications, your favorite places saved, and more, in one dashboard so you don’t need to search your emails and scour them to find that piece of information you’re looking for, and you don’t have to toggle between countless tabs
• Continuous Consistency | Venues are rated and updated, with those passing the highest standards receiving better placement in searches, and indicators that they’re one of the top venues on our site 
• Timeliness Monitoring | When you contact a venue at first, you hope to hear back as soon as possible, to show they’re engaged and committed to helping you. We monitor how long it takes venues to respond to each customer, and if it is taking too long, we step in and reach out to the venue manager. Consistent cases where they are unresponsive or have a huge delay lead to penalties, and as a next step, removal from the site
• Consumer Feedback | We hear from you every day. When an event goes swimmingly, we yell “yay!” and take note of what went right, how, and why. However, nothing in this world is perfect, so we know that sometimes something can go awry, and we take detailed note and stock of even the smallest little detail being off to help us improve, and to help all our venues consistently improve

Continuous Quality Control 

In addition to our ongoing processes to add only the best quality venues to our site, part of the consistency we aim to provide is having processes that ensure profile quality. 

That includes: 

• Requesting that venues add more high-quality photos if they have less than 4 on the site
• Updating accuracy in pricing, hours, facilities, capacity, rules, etc. based on feedback, reviews, and more
• Also leveraging LLMs to verify the accuracy of that information to make sure it matches what venue managers quote to clients
• Using AI to automatically improve photo quality
• Constantly checking descriptions to make sure they don’t contain forbidden strings
• No duplicate photos or descriptions
• Providing venues with guidelines as well as instructions on how to leverage tools for better photos, greater accuracy, and more 

We have several teams with experienced experts, with event planning as well as the technical side of things, who collaborate together to make sure the venue values we embody come through true on the digital screen. 

Genuine conversations, passing the eye and smell test

After the initial conversations, there’s an entire onboarding process, which includes us visually verifying all the details of their venue, doing a deep dive of research to find out anything additional we can about a venue — including user reviews across the web — as well as onboarding the venue into our system so they understand the expectations that we will have for them. 

Those expectations include being very responsive to inquiries from potential people wanting to book, offering costs and packages that are detailed with no loopholes or hidden agendas, adding high quality images and explanations throughout their venue page, and a few other things that we’ll keep behind the curtain that make certain we can trust this venue. 

We work hard behind the scenes so that you can trust any venue you engage with throughout our website. 

We create relationships based on trust, and respect, with every venue, so that we can build that same trust with you, and you can count on that trust with the venues as well. 

It’s a three-sided mutually beneficial system, taking the pressure off so that you can have the event of your life, with a venue that caters toward providing stellar experiences. 

Elevated Expectations for Venues, Passed on to You

We also want to be completely clear with what you can expect from us. If you’re hosting your closest friends, family, coworkers, whatever the case may be, here’s how we hold each venue and venue manager accountable so you can rest assured they’ll be accountable to you in kind. 

What We Expect on a Venue Page 

• Clear pricing 
• Detailed photos 
• Hours of operation
• Upfront pricing
• Event spaces and options within their venue (if applicable) 
• Verified address
• Single point of contact with a photo 

What We Expect From Venue Managers

• Responding to each customer inquiry in a timely manner 
• Treating every single person with respect 
• Clearly answering any questions 
• Flexibility to meet the needs of the customer 
• Honesty and transparency 

What You Can Expect From Us

• Totally free sign up, and booking = No charges, no fees, no nothing
• Ease of use 
• A user-friendly experience 
• Only the top venues 
• Exceptional customer service 
• 1 central hub to see and manage all your inquiries, favorite venues, and details for your upcoming event 
• Complete resource guide = Think of us as your party planning partner 

We actively provide our venues with educational materials, tips & tricks on how to improve everything from their written content to photo quality, the way they communicate and their layouts. This starts with onboarding and on through regularly, as we consider our venues to be partners in providing the perfect experiences for anyone and everyone, every time.  

Supervenues! 

There’s one more level to a great experience, and that’s a venue willing to exceed expectations over and over, because they value the customer, they value their venue, and they’re dedicated to delivering. 

For those venues, we created Supervenue status as a way for them to stand out, and to signify to our customers that even with the highest quality venues possible, they can go and find the upper echelon with ease.

Some parameters for a venue to become a Supervenue: 

• 90% response rate = you can count on them to respond
• 24-hour or better response time = and to respond in a timely fashion
• Proven ability to convert inquiries into bookings, which means they consistently align with customers needs and wants, and deliver 

And it’s a reciprocal relationship, because venues that work to earn the Supervenue status also receive: 

• Priority placement in searches 
• A dedicated filter for searches 
• An easily identifiable Profile Badge
• Priority Support
