Big news – we’re officially live in the United States! After years of success in the UK, helping event planners discover and book incredible venues, we’re bringing our expertise to the world’s largest event market.
Starting with New York, we’re here to shake up the way event planners, businesses, and individuals find and book spaces – offering a seamless, stress-free experience that prioritizes unique, stylish, and Instagram-worthy venues over traditional hotel conference rooms.
Why the US? Why now?
The US events industry is massive – eight times the size of the UK’s – which means there’s a huge demand for fresh, exciting, and easy-to-book venues. We’ve already been working with global brands like Amazon, Meta, Google, and Deel, helping them source unforgettable spaces, and now we’re making it even easier for US planners to do the same.
Our CEO and co-founder, Rebecca Kelly, explains why we’re expanding:
“The demand for unique, unforgettable event spaces has never been greater. The US market is the biggest in the world, and independent planners need a seamless way to discover mid-market, stylish, and characterful venues. That’s exactly what VenueScanner delivers, and we’re thrilled to be here.”
We’re bringing the ‘Un-Hotel’ to the US
Let’s face it – corporate hotel conference rooms just don’t cut it anymore. That’s why we focus on curating one-of-a-kind venues that match the expectations of modern event planners. Think:
- Breathtaking rooftop bars
- Creative warehouse spaces
- Historic lofts with a story
- Hidden gems you won’t find elsewhere
Gen Z and Millennial audiences are driving the experience economy, and we’re making sure event planners have access to the kind of spaces that create unforgettable moments.
As Rebecca puts it:
“Cvent has hotels wrapped up, but we’re here to showcase the ‘un-hotel’—the spaces that create unforgettable moments. Our mission is to make booking these venues as simple as booking a hotel, with the added benefit of world-class event planning support.”
More than Just venues – a full-service event solution
We’re not just a venue marketplace; we’re a one-stop shop for event planners. Beyond sourcing incredible spaces, we also connect planners with:
- Top-tier vendors
- Production specialists
- World-class event planning support
Whether you’re planning a brand activation, a corporate event, or a private celebration, we’ve got everything you need to bring your vision to life.
What’s next? Expansion across the US
We’re starting in New York, working with our trusted network of clients and venues. But this is just the beginning – our plans include expanding to other major US cities in the near future.
If you’re an event planner looking for the perfect space or a venue owner ready to boost bookings, now’s the time to get involved.
