In their words

Named people, at named organisations.

Every quote on this page is from someone who briefed us, with their name and their organisation attached. We do not publish anonymous testimonials.

“I have been a loyal CVBS client for over 11 years, taking them with me from company to company because, quite simply, no one does it better. All I need to do is provide a brief on the tone and purpose of the meeting and they come back with options that are always spot on. Their rates are competitive and the venues are incredible, often in locations I would never have considered or even knew existed. They have this wonderful ability to uncover hidden gems that make every event feel special. They are proactive, incredibly responsive, and genuinely feel like an extension of my own team. If you want something unique, go with CVBS.”
Amy Bousamra
Executive Assistant, Inghams Group
“Having worked with CVBS for over two decades, I consistently recommend them to colleagues, friends, and contacts. The team handles projects of any scale with true expertise, saving you countless hours. Whether it’s a local, interstate or international incentive, conference or event, Karen and the team utilise their extensive network, creative ideas, and insightful guidance to ensure they locate the ideal venue and destination every time. From taking the initial brief and presenting tailored choices to securing quotes, managing venue bookings, and handling supplier contracts, they oversee every detail. CVBS truly sets the standard for exceptional service through regular communication and an approach focused on building real relationships rather than just managing databases. Their integrity, swift communication, and unwavering professionalism have saved my sanity time and again. I cannot recommend their first-class services highly enough!”
Sherida Bolling
Executive Assistant to the CEO and CFO, Randstad Australia & New Zealand
Case snapshots

A few briefs that came our way.

Indicative examples, with the client details left out. The outcomes are real.

Case snapshot

National conference, 600 delegates

The brief: A professional body needed a CBD venue with a plenary room, eight breakouts and 400 delegate rooms, in one of the busiest months of the year.

What happened: Found and secured inside a week, at a day delegate rate 14 per cent below the venue's published price, with the accommodation packaged into the same negotiation.

Case snapshot

Leadership offsite, regional

The brief: An executive team wanted somewhere to think properly, well away from the office, and they wanted it soon.

What happened: An exclusive-use property in wine country, confirmed within 48 hours with audio visual and private dining included, and still under the original budget.

Case snapshot

Product launch, 250 guests

The brief: A brand needed a space that looked the part for a flagship launch, with a difficult load-in and a demanding audio visual set-up.

What happened: Matched to a design-led venue, with the styling and audio visual partners coordinated around it as one managed booking.
