Brilliant weekend in Newcastle!

Just got back from a stag do in Newcastle organised by joe at Maximise. Was a bit nervous about organising 18 lads and making sure everything was top notch! But Maximise made it very easy and having guys paying themselves online was a godsend! Hotel was better than expected and all activities booked though Joe were great - especially he bubble football! I would recommend Newcastle, Joe and Maximise to anyone needing to sort a stag do!

Hi Sean,

Thanks you for your feedback. Pleased to see that you had a great stag weekend in Newcastle and that we exceeded expectations. We work hard to choose the best venues and activities in all of our destinations and it's great when we hear that our groups agree :)

Could have done better myself for same price!

My stag do was last April and I am still awaiting the outcome of Zoey's "investigation" into what went wrong. The "central" accomodation in Amsterdam was fit for purpose albeit a 10-15 minute train journey from the centre. Friday night pub crawl was fine and all seemed to be going well. We met for our activity on Saturday morning and our reps booked us transport. Upon arrival at Zorb football we were told that the transfer was not included in the deal (even though the website clearly stated at the time "Where required activity transfers will be included...") We ended up paying an extra 150 euros on taxis. Uber would have been much cheaper but we took this on the chin as the football was good. However, our Saturday night "Pub crawl and Club entry" was a farce. We were met by a friend of the rep we were supposed to be meeting. Our "guide" was blessed with youthful looks - so youthful he was refused entry to the first bar as he had no ID. He had no idea where to take us and clearly didn't know the area very well or any of the bars. We wondered aimlessly around the Rembrandtsplein much as we would have done without a "guide" so it wasn't worth paying for one. One of the party commented that "He seems way out of his depth!" Finally our "Club entry" didn't happen. Again quoting from the website (at the time of booking) "One criteria on which we choose our venues is their 'stag & hen friendliness', so most activity venues and accommodation venues are very understanding and accepting of inoffensive fancy dress." None of the clubs we queued up for (yes, we paid to queue up with everyone else!) would let us in dressed as pretty inoffensive scientists in white coats, fully clothed underneath. We were told we could come in only if we removed the outfits, or covered them up. At the end of the day we had a good time because we made the best of a bad situation, but this was no thanks to Maximise, more a tribute to my great mates. Disappointing!

Barcelona Stag

After deciding Barcelona was the destination for my brother's stag do last summer, being best man I wanted to look like I did a good job organising the stag and came to the decision to use maximise. Zoey was in charge of helping me make it the weekend I wanted and she didn't disappoint. There was 17 of us and there was a lot we wanted to do. Her knowledge, politeness and generally being exceptional at her job made it very easy to organise the weekend and when I had to change details or any plans she was very quick responding and helping me have the weekend exactly how I wanted it. Needless to say we had an unbelievable weekend. Barcelona is a great destination with plenty to do and would highly recommend maximise. Am using the company again this year for a mates stag do!

Special hen weekend in Dublin

This really was one of the most wonderful weekends! As maid of honour I wanted to give Amy (the bride) the most special hen weekend before her big day and it was jam packed with activities such as white water raftering and cocktail making and exploring many bars around Dublin. We didn't stop all weekend and everyone loved every single minute! I had no regrets whatsoever and credit to Joe who made everything perfect for us.

Prague - one of the best!

Prague is an astonishingly beautiful city and is one of the cheapest stag dos I've ever been on. Upon arrival our apartments were more than adequate and in a perfect location within a 10 minute walk on the picturesque main square. Our first night out is a bit of a blue but included a meal at a brewery and plenty of vodka shots! The lap club was a highlight and included a drunk man getting hoofed over by a stripper! to shake off the hangovers we went firearm shooting – with Ak47s, shotguns and Uzi’s – certaintly not something you get to do every day! After exploring the christmas market and having a few more drinks we got ready for another excellent night out. the food was great and the VIP nightclub experience even better. After a couple of hours sleep we hit the road back to the airport - a fantastic weekend shared with some great people

Easiest stag do ever!

I have organised 3 stag dos before this one and every time it has been a right pain. Maximise were recommended by a friend and although I thought that booking through a company would be more expensive I was pleasantly surprised. Maximise put on a great weekend of activities with a decent hotel and at a really low price. And most importantly, everything was so easy, from booking with Zoey the sales rep, to collecting payments from the group, to sorting out the rooms…if only I knew about this before… unlikely I will need to use them again but will recommend to others.

Great burlesque class

We had organised the majority of our hen weekend ourselves but then came across an issue at short notice where we needed to find a burlesque class in the city centre of Nottingham to avoid travelling from one place to another. This was about a week and a half before the weekend and we really didn't have many options. We came across Maximise and contacted them, and within a matter of an hour, we heard back from Zoey who was incredibly helpful along the way!

We got a burlesque class offer within our price range and in the city centre which is was we needed. Zoey was so flexible with our booking (thank you so much for your patience!), as it took a while to confirm numbers etc. But everything went super smoothly in the end.

The burlesque class was great! Michelle was a fab instructor and the routine we learned was great! None of us really knew what to expect, and we all loved it. :) Everyone said after the class how great and how much fun it was (not sleazy or weird at all).

The venue was very central which was great. The room (not the suite as per the instructions) was a bit on the small side and the air con didn't work very well which made it very hot but doable. But other than that, really great!

Thanks also to Zoey for organising everything! I'll definitely use Maximise again!

Absolutely Perfect!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Joe and the Maximise team for making my Sister's hen such a well organised and enjoyable one. I was initially sceptical about whether each experience venue would be expecting us, however we were warmly welcomed at each venue with our rooms and cocktails waiting! Cocktail making at Revs, Bournemouth was the perfect way to start the hen - Zac was a great host and got all girls involved with brilliant little competitions. 2 course dinner straight after - great food. However, we did not get our dessert as we went to dance and completely forgot about it! (no fault of Revs I guess!)
We had a Charleston dance class in the morning, with Abi- who was lively, fun and such a great teacher. Abi got all girls involved and adapted the routine to suit us all. Very good workout too! Every single girl on the hen mentioned how this was a highlight of the weekend - thank you Abi!!
Our last experience was Butler in the Buff, with Peter. Although Peter was late - due to traffic, he stayed the extra and it actually worked out really well for us. Peter got involved with everyone. We had games ready which we asked him to host, and he also had some other game ideas which was brilliant. We all had such a giggle and he was definitely easy on the eye!
The only downside about the evening was that the host hotel interrupted half way and complained that we should have been buying drinks from the hotel bar. We were slightly confused by this, as there was never any information that told us this was the case. We had brought a few bottles with us which the butler was serving us!! Should we have sent our topless butler through the hotel reception to buy our drinks!?
Anyway, SUCH a minor detail that really did not impact on SUCH a perfect weekend.
I cannot express my thanks enough to Maximise. Stress-free for me and organised with such detail, thanks to Joe.

Thank you Maximise!! I will definitely be using you again!

Perfect!

We went to Manchester for a hen do which Louise at Maximise organised. We had an awesome cocktail making class experience which was such good fun and the cocktail guy was super hot too which helped, of course! Thanks to Louise for organising the hen weekend as being maid of honour was a tough task but she made the whole booking process really easy and it meant I could easily get payment off the other ladies which made everything simple. Highly recommend!

Stuttgart

Everything about using Maximise was 5 star. The booking process and payment system was excellent and the communications were prompt and informative from Joe.

All of our activities were on time and as described. And the hotel we were allocated was ideally located and enhanced the trip massively.

Our guide Anna was knowledgeable and organised and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

Will definately use again in the future and highly reccomended to anybody looking to book a stag do

Couldn't have asked for anything more, full on luxury weekend!

We had the most amazing hen weekend away in Valencia! The transfer from the airport was a luxury coach (the football team's coach!!), the apartments were beautiful, all the activities were centrally located and well chosen. Could not fault anything, especially the 5* spa which everyone felt they needed after an 'all drinks included' tapas meal the night before organised by Maximise and included in the package price! Absolutely astounded how Maximise managed to create such an incredible weekend away at such a reasonable price. I was so relieved to have someone to ask anything to - everyone at Maximise went above and beyond to answer all my (thousands of) questions and tailor everything to our individual needs. The bride said she 'couldn't ask for anything more' and I totally agree. Thank you Maximise for everything you did to make it a very special weekend away, and thank you especially to Zoey for always replying to be straight away and being so reassuring that everything really was under control!!

Fantastic Hen Weekend to Bournemouth

Organised a hen weekend through Maximise, fantastic weekend and would definitely be using Maximise again and strongly recommend anyone organising a hen weekend. Zoey at maximise was excellent and took care of everything from start to finish. The whole experience was hassle free and so professional. The weekend was excellent value for money and everyone on the hen party loved it. Thank you Zoey and Maximise!

Cracking Weekend

Just got back from Budapest with Maximise and had a brilliant weekend. They helped me put together what we wanted and the customer online bit was a great help in sending out an invite and allowing everyone to pay themselves so I didn't have to collect! From the moment Maximise rep met us at Airport and took us to our apartments, through two great nights out, some shooting and the return ride to airport, I couldn't fault it! Great value for money as well. Would definitely book with Maximise again. Easy!

Faultless - highly recommend!

Organising a stag do for 15 guys is never easy but Maximise convinced me otherwise. The entire booking was faultless and it was really easy to get payment from the guys. Zoey sorted out a great package and made some top recommendation about Ibiza that weren’t even related to our package and also managed to knock off more than £20 vs another company I was looking at. We stayed in a decent Villa in playa den bossa which had everything we wanted and was really close to the main strip of bars which is exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Maximise and will be booking again for my brothers stag next year!
