03WHAT YOU GETSHEET 3 OF 5
3.1
Briefs worth quoting
Every enquiry arrives as a full technical spec covering room dimensions, power, audience size and load-in so you can quote accurately first time.
3.2
Clients choose you
Planners browse profiles and pick who to invite. When a brief lands in your inbox, the client has already chosen you.
3.3
Guaranteed payment
Clients pay up front through Stripe and funds are held on-platform. Your deposit is released ahead of the event and the balance lands 72 hours after it.
3.4
A profile that sells
Your profile carries verified status, client reviews, kit categories and coverage area so a planner has everything they need to shortlist you.
3.5
Compliance, sorted
Upload insurance and certifications once. Venues can view them directly and planners see their status, with a copy available on request when a booking needs one.
3.6
Venue preferred lists
Partner venues curate trusted supplier lists. Get listed and their event briefs can come straight to you.
3.7
Your diary decides what reaches you
Mark the dates you are out on your availability calendar and a brief that clashes arrives with a warning on it. Switch off new briefs entirely and you stay listed in the directory while automatic matching passes you by.
3.8
You find out where you landed
Your Insights tab carries your win rate, the quotes you have out and where your price sat against the planner's spec estimate. On a quote you lost you are told whether the accepted quote was lower or higher, never what it was.
3.9
Your cancellation terms, your call
Pick Flexible, Standard or Strict as a template or set your own refund steps, up to four of them. Whatever you choose is stated on the quote before the planner accepts it.
04QUESTIONSSHEET 4 OF 5
What does it cost to join?
+

The Basic plan is free to join and we take commission only on confirmed bookings, with no listing fees and nothing to pay for quoting.

Are the briefs actually complete?
+

Yes. Every brief arrives with a full equipment list, venue type, scale and budget range, built against the same structure you quote into.

When do I get paid?
+

The planner's money is held by the platform from the moment of booking. Your deposit is released ahead of the event and the balance lands 72 hours after it.

Where do the briefs come from?
+

From event planners using Avarice directly and from venues that partner with Avarice and route their clients' AV briefs to their preferred supplier list.

Do I have to quote every brief I receive?
+

No. Decline anything that doesn't fit, whether that's the dates, the kit or the money. Declining doesn't affect your standing. If you are booked out you can mark the dates on your availability calendar or switch off Accepting new briefs with a date to come back on. You drop out of automatic matching while that is off but you stay in the directory, flagged as not taking briefs.

How do I get listed?
+

Apply with your company details, services and coverage. Applications are reviewed before profiles appear in the directory and you control what your profile says.

Which areas do you cover?
+

Avarice is currently live in the London area only and briefs come from events in and around the capital. The rest of the UK will follow.
