Free planning tools

Tools for Paris Event Planners

Six free interactive tools built by our editorial team — to estimate budgets, find the right venue category, calculate capacities, plan around the Paris event calendar, align international meeting time zones, and compare Paris arrondissements side by side.

These tools are built from the working files our editorial team uses every week when scoping briefs from international planners. They will not replace a curated shortlist — but they will compress the early planning phase from days to minutes, and let you arrive at the right conversation with the right reference numbers in mind.

Each tool is free, runs entirely in your browser, and never stores or transmits your inputs. Use them as you would a calculator: a fast way to get a defensible reference range, not a final answer.

When you are ready for the curated shortlist, the editorial team is one form away.

Frequently asked questions

Are the B2BVENUES planning tools really free?

Yes. Each of our six tools (budget calculator, venue finder, capacity calculator, date planner, time zone planner, arrondissement comparator) is free, runs entirely in your browser, and never stores or transmits your inputs.

How accurate are the B2BVENUES planning tools?

Tools return indicative ranges based on real Paris market rates and ERP norms observed by our editorial team across hundreds of corporate event briefs. Treat outputs as planning baselines, not final quotes — actual figures vary 15-25% depending on supplier, season and negotiation.

Do the B2BVENUES tools replace a curated venue shortlist?

No. The tools compress the early planning phase from days to minutes but cannot replace the editorial conversation that resolves season-specific pricing, exclusive caterer lists, technical riders and security clearance. Submit your brief via the contact form for a curated 3-5 venue shortlist within one working day.
