A Tagvenue alternative that does the emailing
Tagvenue is a big, free list of venues: you message each one yourself. Eventier picks the venues, writes to them from your own Eventier address, chases the ones that don’t reply and puts their answers side by side. Here’s the honest difference.
Pick Tagvenue if
- You want to browse photos and prices of lots of venues in a big city
- You only want to message one or two venues yourself
- You don’t want to pay anything
- Your business event has the budget for their Venue Finding Service
Pick Eventier if
- You’d rather not write to ten venues and chase them
- You want every answer laid side by side, in one place
- Your event is somewhere Tagvenue doesn’t list, or too small for a finding service
Side by side
| What | Tagvenue | Eventier |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A marketplace listing venues | An assistant that finds venues for your event and does the enquiries for you |
| Where | The US, the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia and Singapore | Anywhere it can find venues on the web. Its own list is deepest in Perth; elsewhere it searches venues’ websites live, which takes a few minutes |
| Who writes to the venues | You, one venue at a time | Eventier, under your name from an Eventier address of your own, after you approve each email |
| When a venue goes quiet | Their FAQ says an enquiry expires after 72 hours without a reply | A polite follow-up for you to send after three working days, then one more. After two, it shows you their phone number |
| Comparing quotes | Not mentioned on their site | Read from each reply and laid side by side: the date, the quote, what’s included, what they need from you |
| Cost to you | Free | Free to find venues and write the emails. A$11.99 to send an event’s enquiries, or A$39.99 a year for every event |
| Who pays the business | Venues: a commission on confirmed bookings (12.5% on most invoice bookings in the UK, Ireland and Australia; 15% in categories paid online) | You. Venues can’t pay to appear or rank |
| Someone to do it for you | Their Venue Finding Service: free, paid by venues, with a minimum budget, in the UK and some US cities | That’s the whole product, for an event of any size |

The same event, both ways
With Tagvenue
- Search and filter, and save a shortlist
- Write an enquiry to each venue
- Check back for replies, and write again to the quiet ones
- Copy the prices somewhere to compare them
With Eventier
- Say the event in one message
- Read the emails Eventier wrote, and approve them
- Get an email when a venue replies
- Pick from the answers, side by side
Where Eventier falls short
- Tagvenue lets you browse a large catalogue with photos. Eventier gives you a shortlist chosen for your event, not a catalogue to browse.
- Sending isn’t free: an Event Pass is A$11.99 for an event, or Eventier Pro A$39.99 a year.
- Its own venue list is deepest in Perth. Elsewhere it searches venues’ websites live, so a search takes a few minutes, and it has been tested most on Australian events.
- It never books or takes payment: the contract and the deposit are between you and the venue.
- It writes emails. It doesn’t phone venues.
Questions
Can I use both?
Yes. Browse on a marketplace, then tell Eventier the venues you liked and let it do the writing and chasing.
Does Eventier send anything without asking?
No. Every enquiry and reply waits for you to approve it. Follow-ups wait too, unless you turn on automatic follow-ups.
Why does Eventier charge when Tagvenue is free?
Tagvenue is paid by venues when you book. Eventier is paid by you, so no venue can pay to be put in front of you.
Try it on your event.
Tell Eventier what you’re planning. It finds the venues that fit and writes to them once you say yes.
