Why Venue DDR Packages Make Planning London Meetings Easier (and More Affordable)

In the corporate world, time is short and budgets are tight. That’s why more and more meeting planners are turning to Day Delegate Rate (DDR) meeting packages – simple, all-inclusive options that take the stress out of organising professional events.

At Surveyors House, we’ve refined our DDR packages to make planning meetings as smooth and cost-effective as possible. Whether you’re organising a strategy session or a full-day conference, our flexible conference packages combine everything you need in one straightforward price.

What is a DDR package?

A DDR (Day Delegate Rate) package bundles the key elements of a successful meeting into one ‘per-person’ rate, making costs fair as they’re dictated by group size. This usually includes venue hire, AV equipment, Wi-Fi and catering across the day.

When you choose a London venue with a DDR meeting package, you’re also saving yourself the headache of dealing with multiple suppliers and invoices. Instead, you make one booking and the venue takes care of the rest.

At Surveyors House, our Day Delegate Rate packages range from £49 to £99 per person, depending on the level of service and catering you need. And right now, we’re offering a special anniversary rate of £69 per person for 2025 bookings – a great opportunity for planners looking to get ahead.

How a DDR package streamlines planning

One of the biggest advantages of booking a DDR meeting package is how much time and admin it saves. Instead of coordinating venue hire, tech setup and catering separately, you make one call and it’s all sorted.

This kind of simplicity is especially valuable if you’re:

  • An office manager juggling multiple tasks
  • An executive assistant organising for senior leadership
  • Part of a small team without a dedicated events resource

At Surveyors House, our meeting room and catering package hire in London includes high-spec AV equipment, clear sound systems and modern conferencing tools as standard. So you can focus on the content of your meeting, not the logistics.

The value of booking a London venue DDR package

Booking everything separately can quickly add up. Day Delegate Rate packages offer better value thanks to economies of scale – and the price you’re quoted is usually the price you pay.

For example, our £69 per person anniversary rate includes:

  • A full day in a professional meeting space
  • Unlimited still and sparkling water
  • Premium tea and coffee throughout the day
  • Morning pastries and refreshments
  • A delicious lunch catered by Searcys
  • Afternoon sweet treats

Some conference packages claim to be all-inclusive but come with hidden extras. We prefer to keep things transparent, with optional upgrades like Searcys’ hot buffet, a drinks reception, or time in our Brasserie after your meeting – ideal for continuing the conversation in a more relaxed setting.

A central London location that works for everyone

Location is a key part of any successful meeting. Surveyors House is just five minutes from Westminster Station and a short walk from Charing Cross – easy for your attendees to reach, wherever they’re coming from.

Our Victorian building offers meeting rooms with catering in London that blend historic charm with modern functionality. From our Brussels Meeting Room – perfect for mid-size meetings – to the exclusive Presidents Dining Room with stunning views of Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, our rooms have been designed to be both beautiful and convenient.

That combination of a central location heritage setting and an all-inclusive pricing is what makes our London venue DDR packages stand out.
