How to Create the Perfect Listing for Your Venue

Publishing your venue online is the first step to attracting clients. But what really makes the difference is the quality of your listing. Description, photos, calendar, pricing — every detail matters to reflect your professionalism and showcase your venue. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to optimize your listing step by step to maximize your bookings.

📸 Photos: The Showcase of Your Venue

Photos are the first thing people look at. They should tell a story and make people want to book. Nice images aren’t enough — you need to be strategic! Make sure to include shots from various angles and show all the key areas of the venue.

But the most important factor remains quality. Avoid blurry, pixelated photos or overly edited filters. Poor visuals give a bad impression: they make your listing look unprofessional, people scroll past, and we can't feature your venue on our channels if your photos don’t meet the standards.

What to include in your gallery:

• An exterior photo (entrance, facade, view, etc.)
• A wide shot of each area (main room, garden, terrace, bedrooms, etc.)
• Close-ups of standout features: decor, lighting, equipment, night ambiance
• If possible: a photo during an actual event (cocktail, dinner, meeting…)

💡 Pro tip: Add a floor plan or sketch — this helps organizers visualize the layout and size.

✍️ The Description: Clear, Detailed, and Reassuring

Your description needs to inform and inspire. Avoid vague or overly technical wording. Aim for useful, concrete info in a warm and simple tone. Think like your future client: what do they need to know before booking?

What to include in your description:

• The type of venue and its vibe (modern, unique, cosy, etc.)
• Capacity (seated, standing, total surface area, etc.)
• Types of events allowed
• Access (near transport, parking availability…)
• Included and optional services (equipment, catering, DJ…)
• What makes your venue special (view, history, unique decor…)

🗓️ Keep Your Calendar Updated to Get Serious Requests

An up-to-date calendar is essential to avoid misunderstandings and wasted time. If someone contacts you for a date that’s already booked, you risk losing their trust — and possibly a future booking. Showing your availability also saves you energy: no need to repeat yourself every time — the platform handles that for you.

✅ Update your calendar as soon as a date is booked.

✅ Block off any unavailable periods (holidays, renovations, etc.)

💰 Fair and Transparent Pricing

Pricing is often a key decision factor. Too low? You might attract the wrong type of client. Too high? You could scare off the right ones. The key is clear, consistent, and visible pricing.

What to do:

• Include all formats: half-day, full day, evening
• Indicate if your prices vary depending on the day or season
• Add any extra fees: cleaning, security deposit, etc.
• Create packages for common events (weddings, seminars…)

🧰 Equipment & Services: Be Specific

Clearly list everything you provide — this builds trust and prevents unnecessary questions. It can also help set your venue apart.

Here are some useful items to mention:

• Tables, chairs, tableware
• Wi-Fi, projector, microphones, sound system
• Equipped kitchen, bar, fridges
• Outdoor areas, pool, terrace
• Extra services: catering, decoration, DJ, etc.
• Accessibility for people with reduced mobility

💬 Bonus tip: Mention if guests can bring their own vendors or must use yours.

• Write a clear and complete description
• Keep your calendar and pricing updated
• List all available amenities and services
• Be responsive and professional in your communication
