Everything included

Everything your venue needs.
Nothing you don't.

Venue Spaces

Manage every space in your venue, independently.

Define your spaces — ballrooms, boardrooms, garden terraces, studio floors — each with its own capacity, pricing, photos, and availability. Clients can browse your spaces and check availability for their date before submitting an inquiry.

  • Unlimited spaces with individual capacity and pricing
  • Per-space photo galleries and feature tags
  • Pricing by day, half-day, or hourly rate
  • Real-time availability calendar per space
  • Block specific dates or recurring closures
  • Spaces browseable by capacity or event type

Bookings & Inquiries

A booking flow built for how venues actually work.

Clients fill out an inquiry form with their event type, date range, guest count, and details. You review and confirm — or they can book directly with a deposit for pre-approved event types. Either way, Stripe handles the payment and the client gets an automated confirmation.

  • Inquiry form with event type, dates, and guest count
  • Direct booking with deposit for pre-approved types
  • Balance collection closer to the event date
  • Automated confirmation and follow-up emails
  • Admin review and approval workflow
  • Booking dashboard with upcoming events at a glance

Packages & Add-ons

Offer packages that match how your venue prices its events.

Create tiered packages — a starter option for half-day meetings, a full celebration package for receptions, a signature package for high-touch weddings. Each package can bundle specific spaces, add-ons, and services into a single clean offer.

  • Unlimited packages with custom includes
  • Bundle spaces, add-ons, and services per package
  • Optional add-ons at checkout (catering, AV, decor)
  • Deposit percentage configurable per package
  • Package pages with full descriptions and pricing
  • Most popular badge for your featured option
ReservePress Events — packages
Payments & Communications

Stripe payments and automated emails, configured once.

Stripe handles all payment processing — deposit at booking, balance when you're ready to collect. Automated emails fire on inquiry submission, booking confirmation, and reminder, sent via your own SMTP provider so they come from your domain — not ours.

  • Stripe integration — test and live mode
  • Deposit or full payment at booking
  • Balance collection on your schedule
  • Inquiry confirmation and booking confirmation emails
  • Pre-event reminder emails
  • SMTP support — Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun, Brevo

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a developer to install this?

If you're comfortable installing WordPress plugins and themes, you can handle it yourself. We provide full installation and configuration documentation. If you'd rather have someone else handle it, our setup service covers everything from installation to your first live booking.

Can I manage multiple event spaces?

Yes — ReservePress Events is built for multi-space venues. Each space has its own capacity, pricing, availability calendar, and photo gallery. Clients can browse all your spaces and check availability for their specific date and guest count.

Does it work with my existing WordPress theme?

Yes — the Plugin Only license works with any well-coded WordPress theme. The plugin outputs standard HTML with its own CSS layer for booking-specific components. Shortcodes are available for every public-facing element — spaces, packages, availability checker, and inquiry form.

How does Stripe work? Are there extra fees?

ReservePress integrates directly with your own Stripe account using your API keys — we never touch your payments. Stripe's standard processing fees apply (typically 2.9% + 30¢), but ReservePress charges nothing on top. No per-booking commission, ever.

Can clients book directly, or is it inquiry only?

Both workflows are supported. You can configure some event types to allow direct booking with a deposit, while others go through an inquiry-and-approval flow. Many venues use direct booking for smaller events (like hourly room rentals) and inquiry flow for larger events like weddings.

Is there a free trial?

There's no free trial, but our live demo at our live demo lets you experience the full client-facing flow — browse spaces, check availability, and submit a test inquiry. Every purchase also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I need a custom feature added?

Yes — custom development is available. If your venue has a workflow the plugin doesn't cover out of the box, get in touch and we'll scope it out. Many custom features can be added as a standalone engagement without affecting your core license.

Can I switch from Tripleseat, Skedda, or another platform?

Absolutely. ReservePress Events replaces these platforms — and unlike them, there's no monthly subscription or per-booking fee. Our setup service can help you transition from your current platform, including running both systems in parallel until you're ready to switch fully.

Already on Shopify, Squarespace, or Wix?

ReservePress Events works on your platform too.

You don't need to rebuild your whole venue website on WordPress to take online inquiries. The ReservePress Events Theme Lite — included free with every Plugin Only purchase — gives you a clean, branded inquiry portal that sits in a subfolder of your existing domain.

How it works

  1. Install WordPress in a subfolder — e.g. yourvenue.com/book/
  2. Install the ReservePress Events plugin and Theme Lite
  3. Add your logo, set your brand colour, and link back to your main site
  4. Share your booking link — clients book without ever leaving your brand

Theme Lite includes

  • Booking page with the full ReservePress Events inquiry form
  • Manage Booking page for clients to view and manage their inquiry
  • Logo, primary colour, main site URL, and footer copyright — that's it
  • No nav menu, no homepage, no marketing pages — just booking

For a full venue website on WordPress, the Plugin + Theme bundle includes the complete ReservePress Events Theme.
