Event Venue Software for Selling Each Date Once: Holds, Payments and Menus
Mythex lets an event venue build date booking with provisional holds that expire, rooms blocked with set-up and breakdown time, a client portal where menus and final numbers lock by a deadline, staged payment schedules, and a website with honest capacities per layout. Describe your rooms and packages and publish with a database.
A venue sells dates, and each date sells once
Peak-season Saturdays go to weddings a year or more ahead, while weekdays fill with conferences and corporate hire at shorter notice. The sales team juggles viewings, provisional holds, contracts, deposits and catering choices from a shared calendar, a booking spreadsheet and a long email chain per client. Holds without expiry quietly block the best dates. Final numbers arrive late and land on the chef. Two events on the same day can claim the same chairs. A venue needs availability, holds, payments and event details in one place, so nobody double-books a room and every booking has a clear next payment.
- Provisional holds with an expiry date
- Rooms booked separately or the whole venue exclusively
- Set-up and breakdown time around every event
- Payment schedules tied to the event date
- Final numbers and menu lock dates
- Furniture and linen reserved per event
What you can build for event venues
Holds that expire, rooms that cannot double-book
Each room books independently with rules for exclusive whole-venue hire. Provisional holds carry an expiry and become available again if no deposit arrives, viewings are offered only when rooms are free, and set-up and breakdown time is blocked around every event.
Build a booking system for my event venue with three rooms and an exclusive whole-venue option. Dates can be provisionally held for 14 days and are released automatically unless a deposit is recorded. Block 4 hours set-up and 2 hours breakdown around each event, and offer viewing appointments only when rooms are not in use.
A client portal with a menu lock date
Each booked client sees their payment schedule, the final numbers deadline and room layout, chooses menu and drinks from their package before a lock date, uploads a seating plan, and outside suppliers submit insurance and arrival details.
Create a client portal for my wedding and events venue. Clients see their event date, room, payment schedule and final numbers deadline, choose menu and drinks options from their package until a lock date 21 days before, upload a seating plan, and add outside suppliers who submit insurance documents and arrival times.
Enquiries tracked by the date they want
Every enquiry logged by event date, even for dates you cannot offer, with lead source and stages from enquiry to viewing, hold, contract, deposit and event. Corporate accounts keep their past events and preferred rooms.
Make a CRM for my event venue where each enquiry has requested date, alternative dates, guest count, event type and source, and moves through enquiry, viewing, hold, contract, deposit and event. Log turned-away dates and keep corporate accounts with past events and preferred rooms.
Staged payments and per-head catering
A booking fee, interim payments and a balance before the day, per-head catering that updates with final numbers, damage deposits recorded and refunded, and corporate invoices on terms with a PO number.
Build invoicing for my event venue with a payment schedule per booking (booking fee, mid-point payment, balance 4 weeks before), per-head catering lines that update with final numbers, a refundable damage deposit, corporate invoices with PO numbers and payment terms, and cancellation terms printed on every invoice.
Room pages with capacity per layout
Capacities for dinner, theatre and standing layouts, separate wedding and corporate paths, real photos of each room set for an event, floor plans, 'from' pricing by day and season, and an enquiry form with alternative dates.
Build a website for my event venue with a page per room showing dinner, theatre and standing capacities, floor plans and photos set for events, separate wedding and corporate sections, 'from' prices by day of week and season, and an enquiry form for preferred date, alternative dates and guest count.
Chairs, linen and glassware reserved per event
Furniture, linen, glassware and AV counted per item with repairs noted, items reserved against events by date with a warning when two events need more than you hold, and hired-in items recorded with return dates.
Make an inventory app for my event venue counting chairs, tables, linen, glassware and AV kit, reserving items against events by date with a warning when same-day events need more than we hold, tracking items out for repair, and recording hired-in items with supplier and return date.
What to set up first
Your rooms with capacities and set-up times, then every confirmed and provisional booking with its hold expiry. Add payment schedules for booked events next. The portal and inventory can follow once the calendar is the single source of truth.
- Rooms and capacities
- Confirmed and held dates
- Payment schedules
Filling the quiet dates
Log every enquiry, including dates you turned away. The list shows where to raise prices and which alternatives to suggest. Then build specific offer pages for Sundays, winter and midweek, the dates that will not fill themselves.
Questions
Can we hold a date for a client without confirming it?
Yes. Ask for a provisional status with an expiry date; the date shows as held to your team and becomes available again if it is not confirmed.
Should a venue show live availability on its website?
Showing booked dates saves back-and-forth, especially for weddings. Many venues keep provisional holds private so they can still be sold if the hold lapses.
Can couples choose their menu in the portal?
Yes. Ask for a menu selection form with the options in their package and a lock date after which changes go through the events team.
Can clients pay online?
Yes, through a payment provider you connect with your own account, such as Stripe. Each scheduled invoice can carry a pay link.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe your rooms, packages and rules in chat and Mythex builds the apps.
