### "Quick Turnaround on securing business with signed BT Contracts"

August 1, 2024

5.0

I specifically handle the Corporate Business and Leisure Markets, and I needed to have the ability to merge the document with my client/contact and IVvy made it happen. I am new to the system, and to the company, and had been waiting for a sales coordinator to train and assist. Today, I am able to create the document, make edits per account, send an email notifying the client that the BT Contract needs a signature (E-signature) and I'm notified via email that it has been signed! I just co-sign our BT Contract, and boom - it's completed and then I can mark the piece of business DEFINITE! Just like MAGIC! Thank you most of all to \[sensitive content hidden\] who walked me through the process and trained me - in the same day, I received my first signed agreement, and today, another! Their team is responsive, professional and most of all effective and friendly! Thank you, \[sensitive content hidden\] of IVvy, from the bottom of my heart in providing the training and setting me up for SUCCE$$!

Pros

The ability to upload a document (BT Contract Template) and send out for E-signatures for both parties (client and myself) to seal the deal! This was possible thanks to the one-on-one training provided by \[sensitive content hidden\], on the IVvy Team!

Cons

Only that it was another portal to learn, after working with Delphi/Salesforce for years, but in actuality - this is the first time an independent hotel was able to connect directly with the PMS (Opera) in our case at LJBTC and La Jolla Shores Hotel. Once you learn the system, it is user friendly - just do it - JUMP!

I find iVvy Venue Management Software really easy to use and user-friendly. It's simple to pick up, even for someone who's never used it before. I also appreciate the good support; any issues that arise are quickly assisted by the support team. We don't really have any issues, which is great.

Cons

### "Events Sales Manager"

October 15, 2024

3.0

I'm still learning the program, we are arranging for a training course which will be very helpful. Trying to contact support between 12PM - 5PM Mon - Fri is very difficult which is in between work hours, otherwise anytime after 6 PM there is no issues calling support other than it's in my own time. Also, I've left multiple messages for someone from support to call me back and I don't receive any call back.

Pros

The quick response in resolving my issue.

Cons

The length of time it takes trying to contact support or having someone from support contact me back.

### "iVvy venue management software review"

July 6, 2026

5.0

Pros

After more than a decade of using iVvy, what stands out most is not just how reliable the platform has been, but how much it has evolved alongside the events industry and my own business. I first started using iVvy when it launched in Australia, and 15 years later it remains central to how I manage events. As an independent business owner, I can choose any event registration software I like, yet iVvy continues to be the platform I use and trust. My events vary in size and complexity, from small boardroom-style gatherings to multi-stream conferences with hundreds of delegates. iVvy gives me the flexibility to build each event in a way that suits the client, the program and the delegate journey, without overcomplicating the process. I value the control it gives me. Registrations, delegate details, online payments, reporting, updates and communications are all managed in one place, which means I can make informed decisions quickly and keep events moving smoothly. That visibility is essential when you are managing every detail yourself. The ability to work from anywhere is also a major advantage. Whether I’m in the office, onsite at an event, travelling, or checking details between meetings, I can access the information I need when I need it. That flexibility is not a nice-to-have, it is critical. iVvy also makes the experience easier for delegates. From registration through to updating their details or preferences, the process is straightforward and professional, which reflects well on both my business and my clients. Just as importantly, the support team has always been knowledgeable, responsive and practical. Knowing there are real people behind the platform who understand events gives me enormous confidence. Over the years, iVvy has helped me reduce manual administration, improve accuracy and create a more streamlined way of working. It allows me to spend less time chasing processes and more time focusing on clients, delegates and business growth. For me, iVvy is more than software. It is a long-term business partner that has continued to innovate, adapt and deliver real value to event professionals.

Cons

No cons, i'm really happy using the software having worked with iVvy for 15 years, i've found that they have really supported my business goals

### "Woodstock Inn and Resort Review of iVvy"

June 14, 2024

3.0

Overall iVvy is a great product. Our team likes using the program, and find it easy to use.

Pros

The cost compared to other products. That it is compatible with our operating systems. Customer service is outstanding. We came in early with the US launch of the product and they have worked tirelessly to make sure the product works as we need it to.

Cons

Reporting features are not up to my standards. The contact module is clunky. We were unable to upload our history from our previous provider.

Reason for choosing iVvy Venue Management

Customer service from our previous provider was terrible and the team at iVvy was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

### "Easier system and better than other systems"

June 14, 2024

Pros

It's very user-friendly and easier to learn than other systems. The flow just works better than other systems.

Cons

Integration but hopefully IVvy will integrate with Marriott's new system. Possibly integration with Lightspeed would be great!

### "Overall, a good venue management software"

December 22, 2025

5.0

Good, quick support is offered. It is great if you are away and a new team member needs support....

Pros

I have used IVvy for many years now (from companies that just had the one venue, 7 venues, and a hospitality group that had multiple venues around the world). I was lucky enough to roll out IVvy for TFE Hotels in Germany many years ago and have always found the system very easy for staff to pick up quickly. This is key for the hospitality and events industry that can be transient at times (or when we need extra staff to support over peak periods, whether it be Weddings or Christmas Party season, for example). I use IVvy every day to manage events from tracking initial enquiries, creating proposals, contracts, invoices, event orders and reporting. The support team is always quick at responding and resolving any issues (or user errors). They have also supported me when I came into a new business and needed to overhaul our templates (and I didn't have much time to do it myself). The current business I work for wasn't getting the most out of IVvy so they helped me integrate stripe so that we had the "pay now" button on the invoices. This meant this was feeding directly through stripe (and our team no longer manually processing and entering these invoices). Saving time and wages- happy days! If you are sitting on the fence about jumping on the IVvy train- DO IT, you won't regret it!

Cons

Honestly, the only error we have run into was that I was unable to create invoices one day, but it was fixed within 10minutes with support.

Pros

### "Happy long time user"

February 12, 2024

5.0

Pros

iVvy has FANTASTIC customer support, always able to assist with short notice. Easy to navigate and easy to get the hang of relatively quickly. Can be utilised with lots of detail or used quite simply too. Integrating seven rooms, paylink etc has been a game changer for us and reduced so much double handling admin!

Cons

A few minor things - tasks being associated to a booking, so when cancelling a quote these all cancel too. Being able to move a booking between venues (we have a 3-level building and if a booking wants to change venue we have to start again) - being able to add a custom note for the online enquiry when in busy time or closed for Christmas so customers don't think they're being ignored. Can sometimes be overwhelming with how much there is that could be used and learnt but thats not a bad thing!

### "My Experience"

September 16, 2021

5.0

Pros

iVvy has been a fantastic addition to our business. It has increased our professionalism throughout the whole event sales experience. It has allowed us to easily create documents such as contracts, event orders and invoices at the click of a button. The sales prompts and follow ups make it easy to ensure no enquires are forgotten. This has now become an invaluable tool we use on a daily basis. In addition the support of the onboarding team including \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]was fantastic, we felt supported all the way!

Cons

There was no real cons. The set up team were great, we had some initial issues with the payment gateway, however that was rectified quick and believe it was more of our banks issue.

### "Flexible software and helpful staff. "

September 9, 2021

5.0

Overall very positive. The people are great and the system offers a good level of customisation.

Pros

I've been implementing iVvy at a new venue for hire. While we do not have any catering aspects to our operations, iVvy has the ability to be tailored to our needs. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] our trainer has been delightful to work with. Friendly, supportive and 'can do' at all stages of our training. We have found all other contacts at iVvy to be similarly knowledgeable and helpful. The reporting that iVvy produces is well considered and easily able to be tailored to our needs. Once built, the system gives a lot of control over to the venue in terms of updating finance reconciliations, tailoring reports, updating fees, adding additional items etc. Set up of virtually every aspect of iVvy can be tweaked to meet a venue's specific needs. I would definitely recommend iVvy to venues looking for an affordable, efficient and elegant bookings solution.

Cons

Ideally there would be functionality to split out the items on an invoice for payment by more than one party - from separate companies. An example of where this would be required is in the case of a contribution subsidy by a sponsor.

Saving time in generating documents, which I used to do manually. The task system reminds me of everything that is still to be done.

Pros

It is very user-friendly, easy to operate and practical. The option to generate all the documents saves a lot of time, and they are straightforward to read.

### "Customisable software for arts venues"

April 10, 2025

5.0

Great experience overall. Support was always quick and helpful. The system has lots of options to customise it to our needs and was generally easy to use and train new users. I have recommended iVvy to many colleagues in other venues and will continue to do so.

Pros

How customisable it was. Built with hotel conferencing in mind but I was able to use it successfully at two different arts venues with specific requirements not built in as standard to the software, but easy to customise. The price - reasonably priced for our operation size compared to some of the other arts-specific venue/event software options aimed at much larger organisations.

Cons

More specific to our use case, but more flexibility with minimum subscription terms would have been great. Also more integration options. I've used both Myob and Xero integrations which worked well, but I would have loved if they had some pos integrations that included the cheaper cloud based pos suppliers. But overall the pros far outweighed the cons!
