Planning an event often starts with excitement but quickly turns into a juggling act. One tab for venues, another for caterers, a spreadsheet for photographers, endless emails to florists, and a growing list of “maybe” suppliers you’re trying to keep track of.

Sound familiar?

For event planners, EAs, PAs, and coordinators, finding the right suppliers isn’t just time-consuming; it often feels scattered and disconnected. That’s exactly what VenueNow is changing!

Introducing VenueNow’s Supplier Search. A new, streamlined way to discover, compare, and connect with event suppliers, all in one place.

VenueNow has long been known as a go-to platform for booking venues across Australia.

What Is Supplier Search?

Supplier Search is a dedicated browse-and-discover tool designed to help you find event suppliers across a wide range of categories.

Instead of relying on scattered recommendations or outdated directories, you can now explore curated supplier listings presented as easy-to-browse service cards.

Each listing gives you a clear snapshot of what a supplier offers, making it easier to shortlist and enquire with confidence. Whether you’re planning a corporate event, wedding, cocktail party, product launch, or private celebration, Supplier Search connects you with professionals across essential categories.

Some of the core supplier categories include: Photographers, AV providers, Stylists, Caterers, Florists, and more!

This means you can build your entire event team in one place, no more jumping between platforms or relying solely on referrals.

How Supplier Search Works

Supplier Search is designed to feel simple, fast, and aligned with how event planners actually work. Instead of navigating complicated systems, you can simply search based on what matters most to your event.

You can filter suppliers by location to find those servicing your area, by event type to match your specific needs, and by category to narrow down services like catering or photography. If you need to get more specific, subcategories help you drill down even further.

Supplier Search is also built to work seamlessly across both desktop and mobile. On desktop, a sidebar filter panel lets you refine your results without leaving the page, and results update in real time as you adjust your filters. Categories also adapt automatically based on your selections, making the experience feel smooth and responsive. On mobile, filters are accessible through a clean slide-up interface, with a “More Filters” option that keeps everything uncluttered. It’s designed for quick browsing, whether you’re between meetings or on-site at a venue

Find the Perfect Suppliers for Your Event.

What You’ll See in Each Supplier Listing

Each supplier is displayed through a simple service card, giving you a clear snapshot of what they offer before you click through. You’ll see a photo carousel of their work, along with the supplier name, category, and a short description of their service. There’s also a “View Details” button so you can learn more about their offering and enquire instantly, plus a “Read More” link if you want to explore further. Overall, each supplier card gives planners enough information to make a confident decision before reaching out.

All of this makes it easy to compare options, assess quality at a glance, and kick off an enquiry. No guesswork, and no unnecessary back-and-forth.

Designed for Suppliers Too

Supplier Search isn’t just helpful for planners, it’s great for suppliers, too. By joining the platform, suppliers can showcase their services with strong visuals, connect with planners who are already searching for what they offer, and receive enquiries directly through VenueNow. It’s a simple, practical way to reach the right audience while helping planners find trusted suppliers faster.
