Testimonials
"Yet again our event assistants have done us proud! Unfortunately I was unable to attend at this Venus Awards but our team worked so hard and definitely proved that they are capable of running an awards ceremony all on their own! I feel so proud of our team, and can't wait to be at the next awards."

SOUTHAMPTON FINAL
15th April 2016
The Venus Awards - Southampton Final - April 2016
Finalists along with Sponsors and guests attended a glamorous, glittering Ceremony and Gala Dinner in the splendour of the Ballroom at the Hilton at the Ageas Bowl on Friday 15th April 2016 to hear who would be declared winners in each of the 15 categories.
​
The host for the evening’s celebrations was Shelley Jory-Leigh, Hampshire-born British Power Boat Champion and business woman.
​
Over 340 guests soaked in the atmosphere as they enjoyed a three-course dinner and entertainment from Cordelectra, a sensational female electric string trio, and illusion, magic and mystery from Colin Phillips, well-known Close-up Magician, Cabaret and Stage Artist – both acts brought the “Wow” factor to the evening.
At midnight the guests left and we commenced the loading out of the event. We packed away the candelabras, mirrors, chair covers and sashes, collected up any leftover goody bag items to be returned to the companies, packed away the sponsors banners and loaded up the cars.
​
It was a 16 hour day for our team of 11 managers and assistants! But even at the end of the night every member of staff still had a smile on their face.
