What Hostology is
Hostology is wedding and event venue management software built around one connected customer and event record. It brings enquiries, bookings, planning, guests, accommodation and payments together, with portals where hosts, suppliers and guests contribute directly. Venue teams remain in control, with less admin and clearer information throughout the event. Priced from £45 a month, with your first 30 days free while you set up. We handle your set-up and help you switch systems, so it doesn't become another job. Prefer to look around first? Get 14 days' free access to our demo site.

The one thing no other platform does
Your rooms, booked and paid for inside the same event.
For venues with accommodation, Hostology turns the room block into a booking system for the whole wedding party. Assign rooms to specific guests, or open them for guests to book directly. Take deposits and balances per guest. Every payment lands straight in the venue account, tracked to the event.
No competitor in our market does this. Rivals ignore accommodation, or chase room money with reminders. Hostology is the only platform where the rooms are part of the event.

Case study
How Llantilio House scaled from 7 to 58 events a year, with a team of three.
George and Lottie Ingledew converted a Welsh farm into a wedding venue and joined Hostology in 2023 running seven events. Three seasons on, they run around 58. Enquiries, event planning, accommodation across nine bedrooms plus yurts and glamping, and every payment that goes with them, live inside Hostology. Their core team has never exceeded three full-time people.
“The more we use Hostology, the more we find it can be the hub for everything. That dramatically simplifies our lives and, particularly, the lives of the couples planning their wedding with us.”

FAQ
The questions venues ask us first.
What kind of venues does Hostology work best for?
Hostology powers venues across the UK, from Scotland down to Cornwall and from single-day-a-year historic estates to venues doing more than 100 events a year. It fits best where a venue owner or event manager is running the whole workflow. And it is ideal where the venue has on-site accommodation, in-house catering and a team that lives in the tool day to day.
How is Hostology different from a general-purpose CRM?
Hostology is built for wedding and event venues, not adapted for them. That means an enquiry pipeline shaped around show-rounds, quotes and contracts; event planning that knows about run sheets, table plans, dietaries and suppliers; payments that split between the host and their guests; and, for venues with rooms, guest-level accommodation booking and payment inside the same event.
What does it cost?
Pricing starts at £45 a month for a boutique band and scales to unlimited for the largest venues. Bands are set by how many events you run, not by feature gating. Full detail on the pricing page.
How long does onboarding take?
Your first 30 days are free while you get set up, and most venues are ready within two to four weeks, depending on how much data is coming across. Guided onboarding is a one-off £99 and includes personalised set-up and unlimited support while you migrate. Data migration and on-site team training are available on request.
