What Our Clients Say

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!

Exceptional Service for Event Venue Selection! We recently worked with Function Fixers to find the perfect venue for our upcoming events, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Theresa Knight was incredibly helpful, professional, and dedicated to understanding our specific needs. Theresa took the time to ask detailed questions about our event format, guest count, and desired location. She then presented us with a variety of options that perfectly matched our criteria. We were truly impressed with the range of venues she found and her in-depth knowledge of each location's amenities and capabilities. Throughout the entire process, Theresa was responsive, efficient, and always available to answer our questions. She made the venue selection process stress-free and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her expertise and guidance. Based on this outstanding experience, we highly recommend Function Fixers to anyone searching for a reliable and resourceful event venue partner. We look forward to building a lasting relationship with Function Fixers and working with Theresa and the rest of the team again for future events.

Function Fixers is my go to team for support with venue finding. All those of us that work in event organisation know how agile and quick footed you have to be to organise them effectively, as people, agenda, budgets, dates change so easily. This did not phase Theresa one bit...we sent email after email back and forth as my venue brief changed regularly, as did finding the right date. Theresa dealt with it with a level of patience I wish I had! And email conversations were always full of detail and fun. Theresa responded so quickly to my emails, always remaining positive that a venue would fit our needs and she was right. The handover to the venue was done promptly and we are in full swing of event organisation. Thank you Theresa, Heather and FF...we will definitely be back with future venue needs!
