We built www.VenueHero.co to help simplify Event Venue Discovery and Booking for organizers. We wanted to eliminate the need for people to hop from place to place seeing and reviewing venues or relying on people who barely understand you peculiar taste - before making a choice. By making it possible for you to confirm and book venues instantly - we are helping to also decongest traffic - ensuring only those who absolutely needs to be on the road are on it.

For the site review, leave comments on this thread - just tell us what we did great - what you'd love to see or what we did badly (don't spare us - we have very thick skin like that ). For the Venue review, please do it on the website - you'd need to create an account though.

Sorry about your experience. Sad to hear some of these stories. I'm even more sad because I know some of these people you mentioned in your post. It would have been nice to hear their sides of the story. However, if you live in the UK or anywhere else, you can find and book great venues on https://www.venuehero.co and we can recommend some of our affiliate event vendors.

Games are won and lost in the dressing room not on the pitch. If indeed he did, it still makes him a master tactitian. That's what football is about. If you don't believe me, ask USA94 Super Eagles and also ask Maradona.
