Planning a stag or hen weekend in Northern Ireland? Whether it’s Belfast, Portrush, or Enniskillen, the secret to an unforgettable trip isn’t the pub crawl: it’s nailing your main activity.

Here are the all key tips from stag activity providers that the big agencies don’t want you to know!

 

1. Direct communication: Booking directly with stag activity suppliers allows for clear and direct communication, ensuring accurate information exchange and the ability to address specific requests or concerns promptly. Want to change your start time or ask if you can bring drinks? Booking direct means you can speak with the person running the event

 

 

2. Cost savings: Cutting out the middleman (agency) often results in lower prices as there are no additional booking fees or commissions. Suppliers may also offer exclusive deals or discounts for direct bookings. Stag and Hen Activity providers just like hotels like customers to book direct and will often offer better prices as they are not losing as much revenue to agency commissions. You save cash, they increase revenue. It’s a WIN / WIN.

When you book through an agency, they take a 20–30% commission.

Direct = more cash for the stag bar fund.

Flexibility: Direct bookings often offer greater flexibility in terms of customization, such as adjusting stag activity schedules or making last-minute changes, as you’re dealing directly with the source. more flexibility and less stress, if you’re the best man, the stag’s mates will stress you out enough!

4. Personalized experience: Direct bookings can lead to a more personalized experience as suppliers may be able to tailor  stag activities or services to better suit your preferences or requirements, fostering a more memorable and enjoyable experience. Agencies can only offer a standardised package. they have 100’s of groups a weekend in many different cities they have to be standard options and little or no variation. If you want something different, something tailored to the stag or hen you have to go direct to the supplier.
