Capterra’s researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Capterra lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Capterra is free for users. Software and service providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Our target markets are Venues, Hotels, Restaurants and Caterers who require software for event booking, online payments, CRM, BEOs, room scheduling, online contract signatures and other features
We serve multiple vertical markets in the events industry, including event venues and facilities, event management firms, non-profits, schools/universities and corporate event/meeting planners.
Good, responsive tech support by phone or email--my many questions are quickly answered. Some good customization and integration options.
Too much room for error when keying in multiple sections during the initial setup process for an event.
What is important for me is having the support I need to figure it out. This company hands down has the best support I've seen in quite some time.
In general, it can be difficult to navigate the different "silos" of EBE, between line items, proposals, event page, and so on.
The calendar is easy to use, and while I haven't used the payments/contracts features, they seem like they will be a real help when we get into the heat of our event season.
I do have difficulty finding "notes" on clients and events at a glance.
We are a small volunteer run nonprofit organization that rents out an historic wedding and event venue. We are thrilled to have transitioned from a manual reservation process to Event Booking Engines.
I'm not sure I'm using EBE in the exact way it was intended.
I like the ease of use, it is dummy proof. I like that my other professionals and cliens can also use it for certain events and I love the built in floor plan.
Flexibility of PDF reports, on-screen reports, and customization. Also the calendar sync does not work properly, which makes it useless for scheduling appointments.
I really love how everything was in a single place. If your looking for a good, reliable wedding planning software, this is the one to choose.
The budget update is terrible. Not user friendly at all and is very confusing for me and my clients to see categories and line items.
As a florist who specializes in weddings, this software actually offered more than I needed, but I would highly recommend it to any event planners in need of outstanding planning software.
It is frustrating that you can't link the invoices to the budget.
The ability to organize items into different parts for the events (invoices, contacts, contracts) yet have them all interconnected and retrievable is superb.
At times, navigating the site to get from one section to another can be a little confusing. Some of the links are in the navigation, some of the links need to be found in pull-down lists.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
