We connect international event planners with a curated selection of trusted venues and partners in Paris.
Built around three commitments that distinguish us from open marketplaces and listing platforms.
We carefully select a limited number of venues and partners that meet the highest standards for corporate and luxury events.
No endless listings. Only places worth your time.
Every venue and partner is evaluated based on real-world event experience, technical capabilities, and reliability.
We don't rely on descriptions. We rely on experience.
We don't just list venues. We connect you directly with the right people.
Fast introductions. Relevant contacts. Efficient decisions.
Share your requirements, audience, and expectations. A short conversation — not a form to fill out.
We shortlist the most relevant venues and partners, with the context only an insider can provide.
We introduce you directly to the right contacts and stay alongside you for the next steps.
From iconic palaces to confidential private spaces, our selection reflects the diversity and excellence of Paris.

Paris consistently ranks among the world's top three cities for international congresses, corporate events and luxury brand activations. The International Congress and Convention Association places it ahead of London, Berlin, Madrid and New York for total volume of major business events. The figures are well-known to anyone in the industry; what is less obvious to international planners is what those figures conceal.
Behind the headline lies a fragmented market of more than a thousand venues — Belle Époque pavilions on the Champs-Élysées gardens, hôtels particuliers in the Marais, Haussmannian ballrooms in palace hotels, Tadao Ando rotundas under contemporary art collections, théâtres Art Déco in the 9th, péniches moored along the Seine, châteaux thirty minutes from Charles de Gaulle, museum salons opened only after closing hours, lofts in former industrial buildings of the 11th and 20th. Every category has its own rules, its own lead times, its own list of approved caterers, its own commission de sécurité paperwork.
In Paris, with several hundred plausible options, the value of a trusted editorial selection compounds.
This is the reason a corporate planner shortlisting a venue in Paris from London, Singapore or San Francisco often spends three to five working days simply qualifying options — only to discover at site-visit stage that the rooftop is unavailable in winter, that the museum requires the in-house caterer at €240 per head, that the palace ballroom can host 350 cocktail but only 180 seated with a stage, or that the iconic theatre's load-in window is incompatible with the production timeline. None of this appears in a brochure. None of it is searchable.
It is also the reason Paris is where editorial curation creates the most value. In cities with a smaller venue base — say, ten or twenty viable spaces for a 200-person corporate event — sourcing is a manageable comparison exercise. In Paris, with several hundred plausible options, the value of a trusted editorial selection compounds. The question shifts from "what venues are available?" (the answer is overwhelming) to "which three or four venues are genuinely right for this brief?" — a question only experienced curators can answer in less than a working day.
Our selection covers the categories international planners actually need: palace hotels in the 1st, 8th and 16th arrondissements (Le Meurice, Plaza Athénée, Four Seasons George V, Le Bristol, The Peninsula); conference and convention centres from the Palais des Congrès to the Carrousel du Louvre and the Cité Internationale Universitaire; unique heritage venues ranging from the Musée d'Orsay to the Bourse de Commerce and the Hôtel de Soubise; rooftops and outdoor terraces from the Hôtel de Crillon to The Peninsula's L'Oiseau Blanc and Le Perchoir; private dining rooms in Michelin-starred restaurants from Taillevent to Pierre Gagnaire; caterers and traiteurs from Lenôtre and Potel et Chabot to younger studios building reputations on sustainable, plant-forward menus; and event service providers across audiovisual production, scenography, photography, livestream and entertainment.
Beyond the catalogue of names, what we contribute is the editorial layer: which palace ballroom now offers the best hybrid broadcast capability after its 2025 refit; which Marais hôtel particulier accepts amplified sound past 22:30; which caterer's Bilan Carbone reporting passes scrutiny by sustainability-driven corporate clients; which AV partner is the right call when the production requires a pillar-free stage and a rigging point map drawn the same week. None of this is in the brochures, and most of it changes year to year.
You share a brief — by email, through the form on our request page, or in a thirty-minute call. Within one working day, you receive a curated shortlist of three to five venues and partners, with the editorial context that lets you decide quickly: capacity attestations, catering policies, technical readiness, lead times, indicative pricing bands, and the names of the people you should speak to first. We make the introductions; you remain in control of the conversation. There is no fee for event planners — our work is funded by the small group of selected partners we have vetted on your behalf.
No. We are a curated editorial network and an introduction service. We don't operate online booking, real-time availability, or instant pricing. Once we have shortlisted venues for your brief, we make the introduction directly — the conversation, the contract and the relationship are yours.
Open marketplaces aggregate thousands of venues and let suppliers self-list. We deliberately limit the network to a small number of vetted partners per category and personally curate every shortlist we send. Less choice. Better decisions. We trade exhaustivity for precision.
Yes. Event planners pay nothing — neither for the request, the curation, nor the introduction. The service is funded by selected partner venues and suppliers who pay an annual fee for editorial visibility on our network.
Corporate events, conferences, board off-sites, executive meetings, product launches, press days, gala dinners, awards nights, luxury brand activations, fashion week presentations and confidential leadership retreats. From 30 to 3,000 guests. We do not currently work on weddings or private celebrations.
Within one working day for a curated shortlist of three to five venues. Tight-turnaround briefs with a venue site visit organised within 72 hours are common. For events more than nine months out, we recommend a longer scoping conversation to identify venues that book up early in the Paris calendar (notably during fashion weeks, Art Basel Paris and the Roland-Garros fortnight).
Yes — Île-de-France in full, including châteaux in the western suburbs (Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye), conference complexes near Paris-Saclay and Paris-Orly, and venues in La Défense and Boulogne-Billancourt. London opens in late 2026, New York in 2027.
Yes. A growing number of multinational corporations and event agencies maintain a standing relationship with us — we become an extension of their internal sourcing team for Paris events. Email hello@b2bvenues.com to discuss a recurring arrangement.
