From idea to party in 7 steps
Here's the whole journey: post your request, compare bids, book your vendor, and pay securely — all in one place.
Post your request
Tell us about your event: the date, location, guest count, and what you need — catering, a DJ, a venue, or all of the above. Add a budget per category (or mark it 'Undecided or unlimited'), upload vibe photos, and set a 'Respond by' deadline so vendors know when you need answers.
Vendors send you bids
Local vendors whose category and service area match your event get notified and send you offers with a price and a message. You can watch them arrive on your request page, and vendors can ask you questions — and you can answer — before anyone commits.
Compare and award a winner
Compare bids side by side, check each vendor's profile and reviews, and invite co-hosts to vote on their favorite. When you're ready, you (the original host) pick the winner — per category, or one vendor for the whole event.
Pay the deposit to lock it in
Once you award a winner, you pay a 20% deposit by card or bank transfer to secure the booking. The money is held safely — the vendor only gets paid out after the event, and we keep a small platform fee (10% of the total, or $100, whichever is less).
Chat with your vendor
After the deposit, a private chat opens between you and your vendor. Nail down the details — arrival time, song list, flavor choices — without sharing your personal phone number or email.
Pay the balance before event day
We'll email you reminders one month, one week, and one day before the event. Pay the remaining balance from your dashboard anytime before the big day — same secure checkout as the deposit.
Party, confirm, and review
After the event, both you and the vendor confirm it took place — that releases the payout. Then leave a review with photos to help the next host find their perfect vendor.

Posting is free. You only pay when you've found a vendor you love.
