Run your events.
We will set the stage

Events Manager configured and tested for the way you run events, by the team behind the plugin.

We set up the calendar, booking rules, emails and payment flow included in your package, test the agreed configuration, and document what was done. Most standard setups take 3 to 5 business days once the required access and information are ready.

What you get

Configured

We set up the calendar, booking rules, emails and payment flow included in your package, agreed with you first. Events Manager supports a wide range of event and booking models; we help you choose a practical configuration using its standard options.

Tested

The agreed configuration is checked before handover. On Bookings Setup we complete one live booking and refund it, to verify the configured payment path at handover.

Handed over

Every delivery finishes with a handover report and a support window, so your team, or your developer, can pick it up from there.

Migration and custom work

Moving from another event platform or software, and taking paid bookings from day one. Quoted rather than bought, because no two migrations are alike: every platform stores its events its own way, so your setup is rebuilt to fit Events Manager rather than copied across. Once we have enough detail, we usually provide a fixed quote and proposed date within one business day. From $1,499.

Selling tickets or taking bookings? You want Bookings Setup. Just publishing events? Calendar Setup is enough, and you can upgrade later.

How it works

Once you've picked and paid for your package, we'll get in touch to get the ball rolling. Four steps from purchase to handover, the same every time. A clear price, and a predictable timetable.

Answer the brief

A short brief about how your events run. If anything needs clarifying, we arrange a quick call.

Give us access

A temporary administrator account, or a temporary login link.

Take a backup first: we work carefully, but your backup is your safety net.

We build it, on a checklist you can see

The same checklist every time, so you know what is being done and when it is finished.

We build the structures: events, locations, ticket types, forms and emails. Writing your event content stays yours.

Handover

A handover report, and a support window on what we configured.

It is your site, your licence and your gateway account. Nothing of ours is left behind.

Where the package stops

Every package covers configuration inside Events Manager's own settings, on one website, without custom code. That fence is what lets us offer a clear price and a predictable timetable. Here is what sits outside it, and where each thing goes instead.

Design and theme work.Making the result match your brand beyond Events Manager's own appearance settings, meaning theme styling, layout, typography and custom templates, is design work. It has no natural stopping point, so it is not in a fixed-price package. We will tell you exactly what needs changing so your designer can pick it up.

Page building in Elementor, Divi or Beaver Builder. Writing your event content or sourcing images. Custom PHP, custom templates and custom hooks. Anything on a second website. Reserved seating, and booking or attendee history from another platform, are both quoted separately because both are genuinely bespoke.

We leave your other plugins alone, beyond checking whether one of them is involved in something you have asked us to look at, and we tell you before we deactivate anything. We also do not manage your DNS or your domain reputation. On email we send test messages and confirm they are dispatched and received. If SPF or DKIM records need changing we give you the exact records, and you or your host applies them.

Questions before you buy

Work starts once we have your completed brief and working access. The brief is assessed before anything changes on your site, so if something needs discussing, we raise it with you first.

We assess your brief before starting, and that assessment is part of the service. If part of what you want sits outside your package, we offer alternatives: what can be achieved within the package you chose, or a quote for what you actually need.

Most standard setups take 3 to 5 business days once we have the required access, answers, content and connected accounts. The clock starts when the prerequisites are in place, not at purchase. Whilst every effort is made to meet deadlines, timeframes can vary slightly with external factors such as site access, gateway testing or replies across timezones.

Questions about what we configured, and one round of adjustments to it. Defects in Events Manager itself are handled through normal product support regardless of any window, because fixing the plugin is our job anyway.

The team behind Events Manager. Not a partner agency, not outsourced. The same people who write and maintain the plugin.

We ask for temporary administrator access and tell you exactly what we need when we send your brief. When we hand over, remove the temporary access; we will remind you to.

No. Customers with an active licence have the choice of pro-rated extra time added to their current licence expiry instead of the bundled licence.

On Bookings Setup we take one small live booking through your own gateway and refund it at handover. We keep the amount small and tell you the exact figure before we run it.

Items that depend on credentials or third-party services we cannot reach are skipped and noted in your handover report. If something material cannot be delivered, we talk to you before continuing rather than handing over a surprise.

Yes, as quoted work. Tell us what you are moving from and roughly how many events. Once we have enough detail, we usually provide a fixed quote and proposed date within one business day.
