Why Choose Funktion Events as Your Hen Do Organiser?

We don't just suggest ideas and leave you to sort the details. We book everything, coordinate with suppliers, send out individual payment links, and handle all the logistics so you're not stuck managing it all yourself. It's the easiest way to organise a hen weekend without becoming the group administrator.

We Handle the Actual Bookings

Once you've picked your hen party activities and hen do location, we confirm availability, lock in your dates, and send clear confirmation for everything. No back-and-forth emails with multiple suppliers.

Individual Payment System

Everyone gets their own payment link. They log in, confirm their attendance and pay their balance when it suits them, and you can see exactly who's paid. No chasing, no spreadsheets, no fronting money for the group.

One Point of Contact

You deal with us, we deal with the venues and activity providers. If anything needs adjusting or you have questions, you're not juggling different contacts. One team sorts everything.

We've Done This Thousands of Times

We've organised over 55,000 hen parties - that's more than 660,000 people who've trusted us with their weekend. We know which activities work for mixed-age groups, which venues deliver on what they promise, and how to time everything so your weekend flows properly. You're not figuring it out from scratch. That’s the advantage of booking with a dedicated hen do organiser, you benefit from real experience, not guesswork

Eleanor - Group Booking Specialist

Most organisers worry they'll pick the wrong activities, but after helping plan thousands of hen parties, I've learned the bride usually just wants everyone together and laughing. We can guide you towards what actually works for different group dynamics.

What Makes a Great Hen Weekend?

After organising hen parties across the UK and Europe for nearly two decades, we've seen what actually works versus what sounds good on paper. The weekends that everyone raves about afterwards tend to have a few things in common.

Groups that pick 2-3 activities rather than cramming in five have a better time. There's space to actually enjoy each thing, nobody's rushing between venues, and you're not exhausted by Saturday night.

The most popular combination we see is one activity on the first day (usually something like our hen do activities including cocktail making or dance classes), then a relaxed meal and night out, followed by something chilled on day two if it's a full weekend.

Location matters more than people think. Liverpool and London topped our 2024 and 2025 bookings because they've got the right mix of accommodation options, activities that suit different budgets, and nightlife that works for groups. If you're not sure where fits your group best, our team can talk you through what actually works for different personalities and budgets.

The groups who have the smoothest weekends are usually the ones who sort the basics early - dates confirmed, deposits paid, accommodation booked - then add activities closer to the time once they know final numbers. Trying to nail down every detail six months out when half the group haven't confirmed just creates stress for nothing.

Hen Party Planning FAQs

How far in advance should we book our hen party?

Three to six months is ideal for UK weekends, longer if you're looking at peak summer dates or European destinations. Accommodation in popular cities like Liverpool and Brighton books up fast, especially for larger groups. Activities tend to have more availability, but getting your preferred time slots works better when you book early.

What's the deposit and when is the balance due?

You can book online with a £20 deposit to secure your weekend. Final balance payments are due 5-6 weeks before your event date. Our payment system shows you exactly what's due when, and sends reminders to the group so you're not chasing anyone.

Can we make changes after we've booked?

Yes, in most cases it's fine as long as it's before you pay your final balance. If you have a question just reach out to our hen experts.

What happens if someone drops out?

You can change your group size until your final balance is due. Most activities have minimum group numbers to run. If numbers drop very low, our team will let you know about any supplements or suggest activities that work better for smaller groups.

Do you organise hen parties for mixed-age groups?

Yes, we organise hen parties for all types of groups. We can recommend activities that work across different ages - dance classes and cocktail making tend to go down well with everyone, while some groups prefer to split activities to suit different preferences.

Can you organise everything for a hen house booking?

Yes, mobile hen activities are perfect for this. We can arrange life drawing, cocktail classes, pamper sessions, or crafty workshops to come to your accommodation. Mobile activities have become increasingly popular as more groups opt for hen houses instead of hotels.

How does the payment system actually work?

Once you've booked online with a £20 deposit, you'll have access to your My Events Area where you can invite your friends to pay online. Everyone can access this 24/7, and our system will send out reminders. As the hen organiser, you can view who still needs to pay.

Are our payments protected?

Yes. We've been ABTA bonded since 2007, which means your deposits and balances are protected under the highest industry financial standards. All our activity providers and venues also carry full public liability insurance, which we verify before working with them.
