Don't just take our word for it...

We were close to giving up on finding a venue for our exams when Academic Venue Solutions stepped in and delivered exactly as promised. They found the right solution at the right time. The team was persistent, supportive, and consistently followed up to assist with our search. Their dedication made all the difference. I highly recommend Academic Venue Solutions — thank you for your outstanding service!


Erica

After contacting Academic venue solutions all my concerns were sorted very quickly. I was impressed with the way my queries were dealt with. Very professional and extremely helpful. I will use this service again.

P O’Brien

I organise the annual cycling club weekend away every year and came across AVS who are able to search all the associated universities for potential accommodation with meals. They have proved to be a very effective and efficient service with excellent communication throughout the whole process and willingness to help. Highly recommended without doubt.

Mike Podmore

Working with AVS does more than provide superb and alternative venues; the people deliver an awesome client service, too. Recently, Katie Ellal went above and beyond in preparing and following up on an excellent proposal, which sadly didn’t come to fruition because of a city change by the client, but will live on my files as an example of exactly what clients need when selecting great venues. Thanks, Katie.

The Other Michael Jackson

Excellent service from the AVS team. They take the time to fully understand the event’s needs and objectives before finding a suitable venue. Their comprehensive knowledge of academic venues and the value they offer brings much value to any event and the service they offer.

Emma Willis

Academic Venue Solutions make the whole experience of finding a venue really easy. They come up with creative solutions which meet and overachieve the brief. A really knowledgable team who go over and above to help.
