Frequently asked questions
How is a board Christmas dinner different from a normal corporate party?
Three things: audience (partners, board directors, executive committee — not the whole firm), service ratio (typically 1 host per 8 guests, not 1 per 25+), and privacy (private entrances, no shared cloakrooms, no signage). Menus are bespoke rather than seasonal-set, wine service is by sommelier, and speeches are kept short and single-voiced.
Can you handle heightened privacy or NDA requirements?
Yes. Where the guest list is sensitive we brief venue staff under NDA before service, use discreet entrances (not the main hotel lobby), and can request DBS-cleared support staff. We work regularly with law firm partnerships, financial-services boards and government executive teams.
What size venue works best for a 40-guest partner dinner?
40 guests seated for dinner works best in a room designed for 40–60 — a livery hall private dining room, a Georgian townhouse first floor, or a members-club dining room. A ballroom sized for 200 will feel empty and drop the atmosphere. We shortlist rooms sized to your guest count, not the venue's maximum.
How much does the venue-finding service cost?
Zero. The service is 100% free to the client — no booking fees, no retainer, no hidden costs. Venues pay us a commission, which means our rates are typically the same or better than what you would get directly. You see net rates, full T&Cs, and we negotiate on your behalf.
Can you handle dietary requirements, accessibility and DBS-checked entertainment?
Yes. Every shortlist meets stated dietary, religious, accessibility and security requirements. We work with vetted entertainment suppliers (live bands, DJs, magicians, casino tables, photo booths) where requested, and verify accessibility compliance, fire safety and insurance for every shortlisted venue.
What if we need to cancel or change date?
We negotiate flexible terms wherever possible — reduced deposits, date-change rights, cancellation-insurance recommendations. We have your interests in the room.
Do you work with public-sector and regulated procurement?
Yes. Jigsaw Conferences is on multiple framework agreements and works with NHS trusts, government departments, councils, financial-services firms and law firms with strict procurement and DBS requirements. ISO 27001 certified. Full due-diligence documentation available on request.
