“It takes the hassle out of bookings” and “the support and promotion have been brilliant.”

Bindi Adams, President, SWSLSC

Since we listed a few months ago we have had children’s birthday parties, adult gatherings, and we now have a dance studio that hire the hall twice weekly. We would not have had any of these events, or interest, without VENNU. We have nothing but praise for VENNU and the staff.

Denis Boyle, Warilla-Barrack Point Surf Life Saving Club

Vennu has been able to bring us enquiry and interest for parts of the Stadium that were underutilized and not generating any income. This is a huge bonus as with little to no marketing being conducted from within the organization, Vennu has given us the means to always have a presence on the internet, which we haven’t had before, which Vennu has provided as a huge benefit to ISS

Andy King, Illawarra Sports Stadium

Not everyone is a member of a Surf Club, and by opening up the space we are allowing people from the community to come in and learn what Surf Life Saving is all about. We want to connect with the greater community.

Amy Vella, Executive Officer, Illawarra SLSC

We have had nothing but good experiences from Vennu so far, with regard to the system getting us the message and enquiries we need whilst providing an easy to use platform which has helped us immensely

Andy King, Illawarra Sports Stadium

We see Vennu as access to great exposure, they offer us a great product and we can’t wait to see where this business relationship takes us!

Lauren, Functions Manager, Wollongong Tennis Club

Vennu was easy and quick to set up and is another fantastic way to allow the community to connect with our vennu.

Emily Somerville, Events & Marketing Manager, Club Lennox

Vennu was a breeze to set up!

To be honest, I had put it on the “To Do List’ assuming it would be a hard and clunky process

Nothing could be further from the truth.

We are always looking at different avenues to promote and advertise our services and Vennu was a perfect fit.

If you haven’t set your profile up DO IT!

Nicole Blue, Functions and Marketing Manager, Nelson Bay Bowling Club

Vennu has streamlined the whole process of hiring our hall from bookings and recording of bookings to receipt of payments.

Peter and John, Kiama Masonic Centre

I made the listing following a link from FB on my phone

Jeremy, Cubby Space Founder

Vennu is super easy to use and makes it possible to find and book local and affordable community spaces

Grant Clark, Tuckerbox Auctions

At Beam we all work remotely, across 3 different states – so when we come together as a team is super important to get it right (on a start up budget!). I was lost in looking for locations for our offsite until I was recommended Vennu… and voila! there were all our options. What a brilliant service. Thank you! We’ll be coming back soon!

Stephanie Reuss, Beam Australia
