What Event Boss is
Event Boss is a cloud-based event management and catering platform for wedding industry businesses, including caterers, decorators, venues, and planners. It covers the workflow from client profiles and scheduling to proposals, invoices, and contracts. A dashboard brings together enquiries, event status, follow-ups, tasks, appointments, reminders, tastings, venue bookings, and the event pipeline. Staff rota tools help assign roles and responsibilities, while menu management supports customization and alerts for allergies, dietary restrictions, and preferences. The platform can also produce loading lists based on event details such as guest count, menu, décor, and tables. It tracks invoices, payments, and other financial records, but is not an accounting system; accounting software integration is available. Prices exclude taxes. Event Boss offers a free trial but no free plan, and is available on the web and through an API.
Good
- Combines proposals, invoices, contracts, and scheduling.
- Menu tools flag allergies and dietary restrictions.
- Staff rota supports role and responsibility planning.
- Custom functionality can match a customer's workflow.
Watch out
- One-off setup fees apply to listed plans.
- It is not an accounting system.
Who it suits
It suits wedding venues, caterers, decorators, and planners that need to coordinate bookings, staff, menus, and event logistics. Businesses needing accounting tools should note that it tracks financial records but is not an accounting system.
Verdict
Event Boss brings booking administration and event operations together for wedding-industry businesses. Consider the setup fees and the fact that financial tracking does not replace accounting software.
