Funktion Events, the UK's Stag Do Company Since 2007
We're stag do organisers and planners who've spent 18 years doing one thing properly: making sure the weekend goes exactly as it should. No overpromising, no cutting corners. Here's what you get when you book with us.
Expert Stag Do Planners
Every booking gets a dedicated stag do planner who'll sort your accommodation, activities, and group payments. Our online My Events system lets everyone pay individually, so you're not chasing payments or fronting cash. Whether you need a full package or just want to cherry-pick activities, our team handles the hassle while you enjoy being the hero. Stag do planning doesn't get easier than this. You plan the night out; we handle the hard part.
“Most best men spend more time stressing about the logistics than enjoying the planning. After helping sort thousands of stag weekends, I know the groom just wants a proper send-off with his mates. Tell me what he’s into and we’ll build the weekend around that.”

Stag Do Planning FAQs
It depends how organised your lot are, but we'd say aim for 3 to 6 months ahead. The best activities and hotels get snapped up early, especially in summer. If you're cutting it fine, don't panic. Our team can still pull something together fast, but earlier always means more choice and less stress.
Yep, no need to chase payments or front the money. Everyone gets their own login through our My Events system, pays their share online, and tracks what's left to settle. You can focus on the fun, not the admin.
We are, and have been since 2007. Every package that includes travel or accommodation is fully ABTA bonded (membership Y6501), so your money's safe and your weekend's protected. It's peace of mind most stag organisers can't offer.
Absolutely. We run stag weekends in 34 European destinations from Prague and Amsterdam to Barcelona and Budapest. Whether you want sunshine, cheap beer or just a change of scene, we'll sort the travel, activities and accommodation.
No problem. You can book single activities or build your own weekend from scratch. A quick chat with one of our planners and we'll get it all locked in. You stay in control of what you want and what you spend.
We've organised over 12,000 stag weekends since 2007, we're ranked number one on FreeIndex and we've got 2,811+ five-star reviews on Trustpilot. But really, it's our team: friendly, fast and obsessed with getting it right. You won't find better service in the game.
