Frequently asked questions
Which London zone is best for a finance-sector Christmas party?
For firms based in the Square Mile: livery halls, Guildhall and City hotel ballrooms — most guests walk from the office and travel logistics stay light. For Canary Wharf–based firms: on-cluster hotels and event spaces plus Thames-side venues reachable via Jubilee line. For asset managers and funds in Mayfair: townhouses, members clubs and 5★ Park Lane hotels. We shortlist by office postcode.
Do you work with FCA-regulated hospitality and gift limits?
Yes. Where a firm applies per-head hospitality limits (typical FCA / SMCR-driven guidance is £150–£300 per head) we filter the shortlist to venues and packages that comply. We also handle the "corporate hospitality register" documentation the compliance team needs post-event, including named suppliers, per-head spend and a supplier-relationship declaration.
Can you handle two-shift Christmas parties for large trading floors?
Yes. Larger banks and asset managers typically run two shifts — the standard floor at 19:00 and a "shift 2" at 21:00 or 22:00 for late-close trading desks. We book venues with capacity to reset between shifts (or run continuous drop-in format), and coordinate two menus if food needs to differ.
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.
