Booking sites take a cut. We don’t.
Keep them if they bring you guests. Eventier answers the guests who come to you.
| Question | Booking sites | Eventier |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | A cut of every booking | One flat price each month |
| What the guest sees | Your venue next to many others | Only your venue, on your own site |
| When they hear back | Often the next day, sometimes never 1 | As soon as you check it. The reply is already written. |
| Who writes the reply | You, when you get to it | Eventier, with your prices and free dates. You check it. |
| Where the deposit goes | It depends on the site | Your own Stripe, then your bank |
Apply in about three minutes.
You pay nothing until you say yes on our call.
Founding venues keep their price while they stay, get set up for free and have a person to call.
Only a few venues get in.
We set up every founding venue by hand. So we choose carefully.
| A good fit | Not yet a fit |
|---|---|
| You host birthdays, work parties or weddings | You only take table bookings |
| You get 5 or more event enquiries a week | You get a few enquiries a month |
| Your rooms and prices are written down | You work out every price from scratch |
| Someone can say yes to a booking | You want a listing, not faster answers |

Application in, not a fit yet
Thanks for being straight with us.
From your answers, Eventier isn’t the right fit for your venue this round. Founding places go to venues where it can win the most bookings.
You’re on the list for the next round. We’ll write to you when it suits venues like yours.
What usually changes it
- Getting more event enquiries each week
- Writing down your packages and prices
- Having someone who can say yes to a booking
The Eventier team
What venues ask first.
What does it cost?
Founding venues pay A$99 a month, and keep that price while they stay. No commission and no booking fees, ever.
Do faster replies win more bookings?
Nobody has measured it for Australian venues yet. In a 2026 Easy Weddings survey, 19% of couples said they tend to book the first supplier that replies. In a VenueSuite study of 50,000 bookings, venues that replied within 30 minutes booked 60% of enquiries, against 44% after a day.
Will it get my prices wrong?
It only says what you’ve told it, and every fact shows where it came from. If it doesn’t know something, it asks your team. And you check every reply before it goes out.
Do I lose control of my bookings?
No. You check every reply before it goes, and Eventier never holds a date without your yes. You set the rules, and the bookings you care about most come to you first.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Eventier talks to you in WhatsApp, Slack or email. The web app is there when you want the detail.
Is it a venue booking system?
It writes the replies to your venue enquiries, holds dates when you say yes and takes deposits. Keep your booking software. Send us its export so Eventier knows your bookings, and new bookings can go back into it.
Why apply instead of signing up?
We set up each founding venue by hand, so we only take a few at a time. Your application tells us if Eventier can win you bookings.
What if I’m not a fit yet?
You stay on the list. We’ll write to you when Eventier suits venues like yours.
