Praise for Event Smart for conferences
We used Event Smart for our Annual National Conference. It was easy to use and had all the features we needed for a multiple-day event with numerous concurrent sessions. It had multiple pricing levels and promo codes were easy to apply. The dashboard was a little complex but there were plenty of tutorials and their customer service was on top of it, very prompt in responses. - Jabbar Beig
I'm fundraising for my children's preschool and I was looking for a cost effective software that would allow us to sell tickets to our event without a mandatory yearly subscription and the expensive monthly plans from many auction software programs. I tested Event Smart for about a month, tried the free trial and hit the jackpot. This database is amazing and the tech/customer sales team are supportive, helpful, and simply wonderful. Any issues or dislikes that I encounter they would guide me how to fix or they would change on their end to make the website more user friendly. I highly recommend Event Smart! - Katherine Gary
I chose Event Smart after extensively researching other overpriced options. Event Smart proved to be a great choice for my event. I needed to provide three different ticketing options for my school's fundraiser. The Event Smart support team was there every step of the way to answer all my questions. The add-on features that I chose were helpful and affordable. I would choose Event Smart again. - Irene Henkens
Event Smart worked great for setting up my high school reunion. The site provided me with every option that I needed. I was able to easily link the events payments to PayPal. What I really like was that we were trying to promote people to pay early so we could get a guaranteed head count. I was able to setup multiple ticket prices that and have the early bird discounts expire at a certain date. I highly recommend this site to anyone that is planning events. We will definitely use the site going forward. - Jeff Poltis
Used Event Smart for ticketing for a family reunion. The program was easy to use, and when I had any issues, I always received a quick, helpful response. I will be using the program again in the future! - Michelle Lyn
Praise for Event Smart for festivals
Just a big thank you to all the Event Smart staff that have been so helpful in making the event possible. When we began the project we looked at dozens of services and we're so glad we went with Event Smart. Their staff fielded a lot of questions from us, gave us great help and timely advice. The Event Smart clear and straight-forward billing system was a massive help. After dealing with so many companies that pile fee upon fee and make it so difficult to plan budgets, the Event Smart system made a huge difference. We knew how much we would spend on their services from the get-go. We'll be using Event Smart again for next year's lake oconee food & wine festival! - John Bond
Easy-to-use event ticketing and fee collection system. We used it for our annual backyard party and couldn't have been more delighted with guests' responses and ease of use. Perfect for your event no matter how big or small - David Pittman
Praise for Event Smart over other services
Extremely helpful customer service and a friendly try out option - also cheaper than Eventbrite. Definitely work trying! - Micah Kessel
I used Event Smart for the first time recently. It was so easy to set up the event and all the details. I especially appreciated the support when I needed it. I will use Event Smart again for our next event! Keep up the good work! - Brenda Stuart
I used Event Smart to create a website to accept registrations and payments. It is extremely powerful and feature rich. A little advance WordPress experience is helpful to use but it does a lot and is pretty intuitive once you get to it. - Jim Nichols
Even more praise for Event Smart
Event Smart made it east to set up and manage our event page. Customer Service is above and beyond - that is what really drove it home for me. Best of all, it is super affordable. Thanks! - Audrey Van de Castle
Event Smart hands down the best! YouTube came in handy to help with the set up of the event's website. The quick response from the Live Chat team is like no other. 24/7. Best part of all it super affordable! Plan your event with ease. - Jo Chanel
Good system and awesome support. Thank you and until next time! - Kurt Drubbel
We have been using Event Smart since the summer, and what a difference! It is a pleasure to use, easy, and when it is not so easy help is almost immediate. The team just got it sorted for me, so I didn’t have to struggle. What a joy to have you as part of my team! - Lea Misan
Thank you, Event Smart, for providing us an economical solution for our Cville2Jtown pilgrimage registration! Your support staff was amazing in getting us up and running and in answering our questions in a timely and effective manner. We will use you again in registering folks for our next big event! - Michael Cheuk
Event Smart is really easy to use. I was able to set up my event in one day and was able to collect money through Stripe. Everything was straight-forward and my event was a large success. Customer service is also very prompt and professional. I will definitely use them again. - Đạt Phát Mao
Super easy to use and customer service was quick to respond! Our attendees were easily able to pay their registration fees and we had no problems. Quick set up as well. Would recommend! - Melissa Cooper
Takes getting used to the system, but all in all, a good setup for event registrations / ticketing and payment features. - Ai Li Ng
Garth at Event Smart was very helpful and responsive to questions and helped get the site up and running and connected to PayPal, etc. Without his assistance I would still be struggling to have my ticketing in place for my event. - Jaime Durand
So, I think I got decently good to create events but when it came to change emails notices and tickets I got all confused. Customer service 1. They reply my message like in 10min, and 2. My problem was solved in less than 30min after I ask for help. It was so easy when they gave me a little direction. Great platform and customer service! - Obed Esquivel
Event Smart is the perfect solution to support ad-hoc events because they offer event-based subscriptions which you can opt for if you don't do events all year-round. We used Event Smart recently for one of our events and we had no issues using their e-ticket system. It was definitely a worthwhile experience for both the organiser and the attendees! Their service is also highly commendable - if you have any difficulties navigating around their platform, don't worry because they're very responsive and are always happy to help you out. Thanks Event Smart for providing this service and we'll be sure to use your platform for our next event! - Diyana Ramlan
Event Smart has been very helpful setting up a system for our large Photography Symposium Event, and is great for our Non-Profit organization. Their customer service is excellent, quick, and helpful. Thanks Event Smart! - Lisa Clanton
Praise for Event Smart for fundraisers
When I volunteered with the elementary school PTO to help with an event, I had no idea they needed me to build a registration website from scratch, complete with ticket selling and credit card handling. I was at a loss as to where to begin, then one of the moms pointed me to Event Smart. Thank goodness for Event Smart and all the helpful people who are just a shout away with technical support (and they were so very kind about answering every stupid little question I had!). The dreaded website was about as easy to set up as a party invitation through Evite. No kidding. The hardest part was extracting the proper PayPal information out of our finance secretary. I can't say enough good about Event Smart. What a tool. What support. What wonderful people! Thank you for being there for me. - Yoko Inokuma Bulman
Praise for Event Smart for reunions
I used Event Smart for a large extended family reunion this summer and couldn't have been happier. It was absolutely perfect. I was able to easily create a landing page for my event, create tickets for everything from lodging and t-shirts to meals and other fee on a single form, capture registration data, and interface beautifully with paypal. basic tutorial prompts appeared on each new page on my first visit but it was hardly necessary. Everything was intuitive and easy to use. I was able to subscribe only to the functionality I needed piece by piece and the prices were very reasonable. The platform is built to handle much more complex but was simple enough for mine as well. Finally, the staff was extremely response when I needed the on a couple occasions. I'll definitely be back - Mark Mcconkie
We used Event Smart for our 10 year high school reunion and it was so easy on our admin side and for our alumni to register and pay for the event. Event Smart has made it so easy to have different set up options to cater to your event needs. The customer service is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Event Smart. - Rachel Hinojosa
Event Smart was such an amazing site for our vintage market!!! Both Garth and Lorenzo answered ALL of our questions (and there were many) and walked us through each step!!! We loved working with both of them and their site was easy to navigate and worked wonderfully for our online ticket sales!!! We will definitely be using their site for all future online ticket sales! - Sara Speckin Czubak
Praise for Event Smart for socials
Our winery has been using Event Smart after changing from another company. The system is easy to use after set up and the costs are very reasonable. - Diane Schoffstall
Event Smart is a user-friendly system, and the team behind it make all the difference. The service and troubleshooting was fantastic. Special thanks to Lorenzo for his patience and customer-friendly can-do attitude! - Nadia Van Dam
For ease of getting started, registration options, and very low cost, Event Smart is the best registration system I've used. We run 6 days of statewide professional events each year, and this system was easy to use and accomodated lots of variations in how people chose to register. - Bob Utke
There's a growing trend of people in my country using Eventbrite and meetup.com for free food. Event Smart offers a controlled alternative where you can password your event, manually approve people, customize notifications, and sell tickets at your costing. While there's a learning curve and it seems to just be a WordPress plugin they are selling you, ultimately it gets the job done at a 4/5 stars level. Get it if you really need the increased control over your event registration! - Wong Zi Zang
I was looking for a free event registration website and came across Event Smart. While there is a learning curve they have LOTS of help in place to make things go as easily as possible. I LOVE the flexibility and the fact that I can use whatever payment option works best for me. My registrants had no problem using the system and everything worked out great without all the fees!! THANK YOU Event Smart for filling a much needed niche! - Natalie Acheson
Tried Event Smart for the first time struggled initially with the set up but the support team was amazing to help through the process. Event Smart made managing the event registration quite simple and once you understand its quite easy to manage. I would highly recommend to use this platform - three cheers to the support team - Tawani Vikas
Event Smart is an amazing & customizable tool to facilitate ticket payment for events. We used it to coordinate an event that 140 people attended. People were able to seamlessly pay through paypal (with tiered ticketing options). We were also able to export data easily into excel with the names, emails, # tickets purchased etc. I highly recommend this easy to implement tool for ticketing and payment of your event. I plan on utilizing this site for future paid events. - Beth P.
Brilliant service! Worked perfectly for my 200 person event- will definitely use again. - Becks AiryFairy
I've honestly never been so please with online customer support staff! I was shocked about all this as it's so rare to get this kind of customer service online with any service provider or retailer even. Your site is great and I've been recommending it to many colleagues and friends. Special thanks to Garth Koyle for his support! Cheers from Toronto, CA. - Sonia Dee
Event Smart is a great, convenient and free service which has been quite beneficial to us in planning and executing events. The only drawback is that the interface can be a bit unintuitive. Overall it is a great tool and support is quick to respond to any issues. - Ashley Byrne
What I like most about Event Smart is their attentive staff who is always available to answer any questions, fix any problems, or help me troubleshoot by walking me through different components at any time. Event Smart is a great tool for us to ensure proper registration is coordinated for each of our events, and I especially love the integration features with other important software and CRM tools used by our organization, such as MailChimp and InfusionSoft. - Vianni Busquets
I love Event Smart. They are so helpful, their troubleshooting is excellent they are always there to provide clear instruction, all my questions were dealt with equal importance and for an "IT Blond", the platform is user-friendly. Even when my event had to be cancelled they arranged an instant refund. Event Smart is an honest, straight forward, no nonsense company that really feel like they are actually there for YOU! Thank you for a superbly refreshing customer experience throughout. - Villia De Koningh
