Global venue network, Prestigious Venues, has today launched an upgraded online platform to create one of the most advanced venue ecosystems in the world.

In an industry first, the platform offers event planners the opportunity to collect event rewards for every event they book. As part of the new 'collect champagne' program, event planners accrue premium champagne, which can either be collected straight away or put towards their next event.

The upgraded platform now features more of the best venues and suppliers from all over the world, enabling users to compare and select the best venue for their budget. Bespoke event focused functionality makes it easier for event planners to identify and select venues that are suitable for the specific requirements of their event.

The venue booking process has now been made easier than ever before. As part of the new 3 step process, planners submit an event brief, receive a bespoke shortlist of qualified venue proposals and then book the right option for their event.

Event planners using the platform appreciate that the selected venues have been reviewed by Prestigious Venues experts and are qualified to deliver the most memorable events. All venues who apply to join the Prestigious Venues network undergo a rigorous selection process and only venues that successfully meet this criteria are included.

Managing Director Habib Amir said “What we have launched today will really shake up the industry and take the lead in terms of making the event booking process informed, straightforward and rewarding.” He added, “Event planners will not only receive a stellar personalised service but they will also earn rewards to put towards their next event. In addition, our platform allows them to receive a shortlist of venues based on the specific requirements of the event they want to host. They can use the platform from any device and also see trusted reviews from fellow event planners.”

The Prestigious Venues network first launched in 2009. Following a period of steady growth, driven mainly by the UK corporate financial, legal and advertising sectors, the brand has expanded into key global event destinations. Harnessing smart cross-platform technology, Prestigious Venues is fast becoming the go-to online portal for premium events.
