Victoria at Venues All Areas is an ultimate professional who incorporates a personal touch and worked with us from start to finish. She is always accessible and dealt with any issues promptly and meticulously. A great pleasure to work with and look forward to working with Victoria on my next events.

GKN Aerospace

Since 2018, Venues All Areas & The Events Architect have organised our events, each for between 300 and 500 staff. Quite simply, they have all been a phenomenal success. Our Summer Party now runs over three days, involving everything from marquees, refined catering, smart sleeping tents, bands, and a myriad of other activities (even ice cream vans!). Our Christmas Party is traditional black tie, which they somehow also make special and out of the ordinary. They challenge themselves to go above and beyond, and they SUCCEED, whilst keeping within the all-important budget!

Group Events Manager HSBC

Victoria at The Events Architect took all the stress out of event planning for one of the biggest events in the Officers Mess calendar. The decorations and entertainment were phenomenal, funny and daring and tied in perfectly with our theme and audience. Having already got the venue, Victoria was able to craft a vision that fit the space perfectly and she was also extremely adaptable to short notice requests. It was a fantastic party and I could not recommend her enough.
