EventButler editorial team · Updated October 2026 · 55 min read

Which venue, supporting programme and partners suit your event? This event planner guides you by event type to the right offers on EventButler – from corporate parties and conferences to weddings and private celebrations.

How to use the event planner
Determine the occasion and target audience
Narrow down guest numbers, region, budget and desired ambience
Compare suitable venues, activities and service providers and make direct enquiries

Define your event correctly

Don't start with an endless list of possible venues. First clarify the occasion, target audience and desired effect. This will reveal the key requirements for the venue, programme and service providers.

Note down guest numbers, preferred region, date options, budget range and must-have criteria such as accessibility, public transport connections, accommodation options, bad-weather alternatives or technical infrastructure. With a clear search profile, offers can be compared more effectively and enquiries made more precisely.

Whether team building, workshop, indulgence or adventure: choose a format that suits the group, the goal and the available time frame.

Catering, Technik und Eventservices

Complement the venue with professional partners for catering, event technology, decoration, entertainment, photography or staffing.

04Firmenfeier

Weihnachtsfeier und Winteranlass

Plan ahead if your event is to take place during the popular Advent season. Consider travel arrangements, cloakroom facilities, seasonal catering and weather-independent alternatives.

Private celebrations

For birthdays, family gatherings and shared moments of enjoyment.

05Private Anlässe

Geburtstag, Jubiläum oder Familienfest

From restaurants and party venues to castles, boats or mountain huts: what matters is guest numbers, desired privacy, music options and a fitting offer for all generations.

06Essen & Zusammensein

Weddings

For the ceremony, apéro and wedding reception.

07Feiern & Heiraten

Hochzeitslocation und Hochzeitsprofis

Coordinate the ceremony, apéro, dinner and party in terms of location and timing. It's especially important to have a bad-weather solution, consider curfew times, accommodation and cooperation with external service providers.

Public and large-scale events

For trade fairs, culture, sport and events with an audience.

08Hallen & Infrastruktur

Messe, Kultur- oder Sportveranstaltung

Large-scale events require robust visitor flow management, safety concepts, technical infrastructure and clear permits. Use the venue search to find suitable halls and event locations.

09Events in der Schweiz

Bestehende Veranstaltungen besuchen

Anyone looking for inspiration, networking or hospitality opportunities will find new trade, cultural, sporting and public events continuously added to the event calendar.

Choosing the right event venue

A suitable venue doesn't just meet the desired capacity. Check the room layout, seating arrangements, acoustics, natural light, accessibility, supplier access, set-up times, curfew and available technical facilities. For outdoor formats, a realistic bad-weather solution is essential to the selection.

Compare quotes on the same basis. Clarify whether furniture, cleaning, staffing, technical facilities, minimum spend, VAT and set-up and dismantling are included. Photos give a first impression; a site visit shows whether the layout, atmosphere and logistics really suit the event.

From selection to enquiry

These four steps will help you obtain more comparable offers and avoid unnecessary follow-up questions.

01Before the search

Create a search profile

Tip: Separate must-have criteria from nice-to-haves.
02Research

Compare offers

Tip: Don't just compare the base price, but also the services included.
03Quote phase

Send a concrete enquiry

Tip: Two to four suitable enquiries are usually more meaningful than one broad mass enquiry.
04Before booking

Visit and decide

Tip: Note down any open points immediately after the site visit.
