ALL pricing provided to planners is shown as "starting at".  Complete proposals and contracts are to be provided by the venue.

You will be asked in the profile set-up process to add pricing to each event space. 

Step 1: 

You'll be asked to tell us what types of events you hold in your space:

  • Business Events
  • Social Events
  • Weddings

It's important that you select all of the types of events you book at your venue.  If you don't select all the types that apply, you will not show up in searches for that type of event.

Step 2:

You'll be asked to select the way you charge.  You will be given 4 options to choose from:

  • Venue Rental
  • Food & Beverage Minimum
  • Venue Rental + Food & Beverage Minimum
  • Per Person

Select the option that applies.

The fields will change based on your selection.  Enter the rates that apply.  Note: make sure the rates you enter apply to the time slot in the upper right corner of the field.

Step 3:

Next enter Additional Required Charges in the following fields, click + to add up to (3) Additional Required Charges fields.  Entering pricing for these charges is optional.

Examples of Additional Required Charges:  Security, On-site Coordinator, Audio Visual Minimum.  

Note:  You do NOT need to add Food & Beverage Minimum if you selected "Food & Beverage Minimum or "Venue Rental + Food & Beverage Minimum" in the prior fields.  This information will show up automatically.

If you charge different prices based on the different types of events (example: there is a higher price for a wedding then a business event) you can reflect those accurate prices here.  Planners won't see any variations in pricing on your public FIRST-HOLD page, they will see a range and be provided the pricing for their type of event should they place a hold.

If your prices don't change per event type, then simply add the same price for each event type.

Complete this process for each event type.  This can be repetitive but it's an important step in the set-up process.

This is how your times and pricing will be displayed on the profile page.

After a planner makes a hold on your space, you are sent their contact info directly to negotiate an actual price and close business your way.

Have Packages?

Want to include special promotional packages in your profile?  No Problem.

Many venues have package pricing they would like to include in the FIRST-HOLD profile.  The best place to display packages are through PDF's which allow you to use your beautifully written description(s) and images to sell the package.  

You can upload PDF's in your main profile and/or in your event space profiles.

There is a 10MB maximum per PDF, so compress your images before saving and you can include a maximum of 10 PDF's per profile.
