Venue and vendor sourcing

Find venues and vendors without the back-and-forth.

Aria finds real venues and suppliers for your event, drafts the enquiry to each one, and keeps track of who replied.

The problem

Sourcing means a dozen tabs, a dozen emails, and chasing replies for days before anybody tells you a price.

Sourcing, run for you

Tell Aria what the event needs and it researches real venues and suppliers, shortlists them against your brief, and drafts an enquiry for each. The same honesty layer as people discovery decides what counts as a real, contactable option.

Real venues and suppliers, found for you

Aria searches for options that fit the event rather than returning a generic directory. You can also paste a link to a venue you already have in mind and Aria adds it to the shortlist.

Enquiries drafted

An enquiry per supplier, written from your event’s real details. You read it before it goes, and sending is held until you agree because it emails a third party.

Track replies and book

Replies sync back against the shortlist, you set each supplier’s status as things move, and you can book and manage the offer inside Mingloft rather than in your inbox.

One event at a time, city by city

Running a tour? Each stop is its own event, so you source a venue in each city with the same flow. A single multi-city sourcing view is not built yet.

Why it is different

A venue marketplace shows you listings and leaves the chasing to you. Aria starts from the event you are running, drafts the enquiry, and keeps the replies and the booking next to the rest of the event.

Questions

Before you ask.

Are the venues real?

Yes. Aria researches real options and the platform decides what counts as a real, contactable supplier before you see it.

Does it email suppliers automatically?

No. Sending an enquiry emails a third party, so it is held until you approve it.

Can I add a venue I already know?

Yes. Paste the link and Aria adds it to the shortlist.

Can I book through Mingloft?

Yes. You can manage the offer and the booking inside the platform.

Does it track who replied?

Yes. Replies sync back to the shortlist and you set each supplier's status.

Does it work for a multi-city tour?

Each stop is its own event and you source per city with the same flow. A combined multi-city sourcing view is not built yet.

Can I rate suppliers?

Yes, so your own history informs the next event.

How many sources can I connect?

Field includes one connected source, Pipeline five.
