Venue Listing Testimonials

It is really wonderful to see our hard work recognised. Before running Event Scene I worked as a manager in hospitality. I know how hard it is to keep seats full day in and day out. How much work can go into advertising to get bookings for small numbers. I love how one function booking can make all the difference in a quite week. I know the value of one booking for 50 in comparison to the work that goes into 15 – 20 smaller bookings to make up the same numbers. Through Event Scene you can put your venue forward. “Set it and forget it” in a way… Once your listing is up, you just focus on the enquiries and bookings as they come in!

Email received from Brett at Whistle & Flute a few weeks after listing (August 2018 – STILL CURRENTLY LISTED):

“Our functions are well up on last years. We have had a few corporate weekday things come in too, which we haven’t had much of in the past. So, your site has made a substantial difference to our functions! Also, I have had to answer dozens more enquiries than before! 
I’m very happy with it and impressed that there has been so many enquiries! Thanks again for putting this together for us.”

From Amy at The Joiners Hotel (STILL CURRENTLY LISTED)

“Event Scene has been great in assisting our venue to secure lots of functions (mainly 21st and engagement parties which suit our venue perfectly).  We have had our venue on their website for almost 3 years now and our business has definitely grown thanks to them! The website looks great & the staff are fantastic to deal with.”

From Mel at Hotel Richmond (STILL CURRENTLY LISTED)

“Advertising on third party websites has been our main marketing strategy for generating function enquiries. We have been advertising with Event Scene since 2013. In the past three years, the number of enquiries we have received from Event Scene is double what we see from other third party listings. It is also worth noting that we receive a range of different types of enquiries from Event Scene including 21st birthdays, engagement parties, bucks and hens, weddings and corporate meetings.”

From Chris at Nook Nosh (NOOK NOSH CLOSED DOWN)

“I run a small bar in the inner suburbs hosting cocktail functions up to 70 people, and have been on EventScene.com.au for the last 3 years. We also use a number of other online directories and tools to advertise our venue and services.
We’ve found event scene to be a great source of leads, generating on average 3-4 high quality enquiries per week, on which our conversion rate is around 70% – resulting in more functions coming via their directory than all our other listings combined. 
We’re generally booked solid ~3 months in advance, with bookings out further than that also – a good number of those bookings come via event scene.
Their pricing is fair, and given the amount of functions it helps us to lock in, represents great value. 
Their customer service has always been excellent, so I thoroughly recommend them if you’re looking to promote your function space.”
