Great stag weekend
I would like to thank the staff at DesignaVenture for a well organised stag trip on Saturday 29th November 2014. All 27 members of the stag group had a great outing to Newbury races. The mini buses were spot on time. The evening worked very well with the Indian Buffet and the club thrown into the price. The club played eighties music all night and was well received among the majority of thirty something's. The Novotel is a great hotel and in a central Reading location and the buffet breakfast was welcomed the next morning. All in all it was a very competitively priced package and I'll know where to look for the next group activity.
Absolutely fantastic!
I'm not the most organised of people, so when I was asked to be best man my first thoughts went to how daunting it was going to be to organise 25 blokes (equally as disorganised), keep track of payments, the itinerary, timescales and everything else that comes along with it(!) That's when I first spoke to my saviour, Becki, at DesignaVenture! Not only was the package very appealing in regards to the activities offered, it was also a comfortable price for everyone on the stag. We had people drop out, last minute changes, some additions who came and went again; but all it took was one phone call to Becki and it was sorted in the blink of an eye. I couldn't rate the customer service any higher, I was kept informed about everything I needed to know, when Becki called and I was at work, she promised to call back and followed through on her promises every time. The relief from having all the stress and hassle of organising a group event taken away, left me time to concentrate on enjoying the day and far more importantly, finding more embarrassing things to dress my stag in and ways to make him squirm in front of all our friends. If you're thinking of booking with DesignaVenture, stop thinking and just do it! You won't be disappointed!!

A Weekend Full Of Bubbles
We had a brilliant weekend in Birmingham for my hen weekend, we wanted something fun but also different as we have all been on quite a few spa day and meal hen parties. Arabella came up with the perfect solution, she offered us Bubble football and cocktail making, the Bubble football was absolutely bonkers we were in stitches from the moment we got bubbled up and bounced about all over the place. We checked into the hotel she had us booked into, it was spot on and smack bang in the middle of the nightlife, we were able to walk from the hotel to our cocktail making class, I wouldn’t say I am a mixologist but I thought my cocktails were tasty, but no where near as good as the ones we had made for us later in Nuvo. We would definitely recommend using you guys to book us another party, even if no ones getting married.
Excellent customer service
I was organising my brother's stag do and decided to use a package agency, never having organised this sort of thing before. We went on the 'Splashdown' Canyoning weekend in North Wales - there was quite a distance to drive between the accommodation and the activity centre but it was probably worth it for the comfort of the pub we stayed in; we were all pleasantly surprised with the pub itself: simple but clean and comfy rooms, friendly staff who were happy to keep serving as late as we liked at very reasonable prices. The meal was simple fare, no menu to choose from and just the one course, but decent filling pub-grub, just the job for a group of blokes (fortunately none of our party were vegetarian). Same for the fry-ups in the mornings. The activity itself was fantastically run by our instructor Neil and everyone had a great time in the gorge. Overall I'd thoroughly recommend the service, the communication was excellent, I was able to deal with the same person each time I called with questions or updates and they were very flexible around our requirements. Excellent value for money.
Poor planning
I organised bubble football for a hen do. I had requested that the activity be indoors, and on our itinerary it did say a sports hall would be included. When we got to the sports facility we were unamused to find we would be playing outside especially since it was pooring with rain and windy as hell! Having dressed for the indoors we gave up after about 30 minutes. It was too cold and wet and those waiting to have a go on the sidelines, they were shivering. At least if we had been told it was outside we could have dressed appropriately for the weather. Either this must have been down too poor planning or bad communication. Either way it ruined out experience.
Gooseing the Goose In Nottingham
Whole weekend went smooth as, driving experience was excellant , transport to & from on time . Spot on , made sorting out stag weekend a doddle. Big Thanks to Dani & her team
Extremely helpful and accommodating
Filled out an online form. Was called the same day. Negotiated with company as we only wanted to book a couple of activities. They sent various emails to check we were happy with the quote. Booked the week before. Ensured we had all the relevant information.

Designventure were a pleasure to deal with
Dealing with the booking company was very good. They were very helpful. Overall the package was great and all enjoyed. Only negative was VIP package at Tiger Tiger was not as so VIP.
Good quality brilliantly organised
From start to finish DesignaVenture have been a pleasure to deal with. The booking process was easy, extremely clear and every single person I spoke to whilst booking, finalising details and making payments knew exactly what they were doing and lovely to deal with. When we got to the weekend I was really impressed that all of our planned activities were either in close proximity to the hotel or were very easy to access on public transport. The activities themselves were all of a very good standard and way above expectations given the cost of the weekend. All in all the weekend was a brilliant success - my sister (whose Hen Weekend it was) had a brilliant time and all in all I think it was brilliant value for money. We used DesignAVenture because my husband's Stag Do last year had been booked through them and he had a great time, and I have to say I would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone.
