A first in the event sector with 'online booking tool' from eventplanner.net

We book hotels, restaurants, flights, etc. quickly and easily online. Booking different event suppliers via one platform was not yet possible. The events sector turned out to be too complex. Until now. Because the innovative eventplanner.co.uk 'booking engine' radically changes all that.


"All major providers in the events sector are included in the eventplanner.co.uk search engine. Thanks to the launch of our review system for event suppliers and locations, we have evolved in recent years from a portal site to a TripAdvisor or Booking.com for events. The only thing what was missing was the option to book your caterer, disc jockey, event location, etc. directly online," says managing director Kevin Van der Straeten.


"Booking an event supplier is a lot more complex than a hotel room. Yet eventplanner.co.uk has managed to develop technology that makes this possible. Suppose you want to book a DJ who uses our booking engine. This tool takes into account in real time its availability, travel times, set-up and dismantling, the right music system, the number of guests, the available formulas, ... As a visitor, you can request a quote in just a few clicks, see availability and book immediately. It looks great at the front looks very simple, but under the hood is very clever and complicated technology."


Putting together events is a creative process. Hiring an events agency at the push of a button is therefore not an immediate option. But booking simple parts of an event in just a few mouse clicks, such as a meeting room, disc jockey, cocktail caterer, band, ... is now possible.



Test it out for yourself right now!

If you would like to try the test version of our booking engine yourself, you can get started with our ' test company '. Click on 'check availability' to test and make bookings. This is a fictitious test account, so the bookings are not real. Be sure to use your real login details and email address so that you can test the entire flow. Are you encountering any problems, do you see opportunities to make the tool even more user-friendly? Be sure to let us know!


Of course, it can also be done in a more 'real' way than with a testing company. Cocktail caterer Peter Grunewald of Grunewald.bar is the first event company to actually use the booking module. From now on you can check his agenda and prices online and book him immediately. And this both via eventplanner.co.uk and via his own website. He has also integrated the module into his site.



Benefits for organizers

It goes without saying that this booking engine offers new possibilities for organizers. In just a few clicks you can immediately see the availability and quote of an event company on your screen. You can easily compare and book immediately. You save the time and energy you would otherwise need to request quotes everywhere. Yet personal contact is not lost either. After a booking, the event company will still contact you to discuss the arrangements so that everything goes according to plan at your event.



Benefits for event companies

As an event company you can count on various benefits. You spend less time on administration, making quotes and checking availability. You make it easier for your customers to book, which increases your turnover. You can even integrate the module on your own website so that your direct site visitors can also use this innovative tool to book you.



Become a BETA tester as an event supplier

We are looking for event companies and locations with a simple business model that want to participate in the further development of the software. As a tester you will be the first to use the booking engine. We are thinking of event locations that rent out one space, disc jockeys, bands, small caterers, ... Later we will expand the test to event companies with a more complex offering. The condition for applying as a tester is that you already have an extensive company file on our website and that you are willing to make time for an intake interview and feedback rounds. We will cover the setup costs (normally €250) during the BETA phase, the contribution for using the booking module is free for companies with a premium company page. Would you like to help build the future of our industry? Contact us and apply now.
