Why Hostology: one platform for the whole event, built by the people who run them
One venue-native platform for enquiries, planning, guest management, catering, accommodation and payments. Built from five founder venues' experience, now shaping the tools every venue team wishes it had five years ago.
Designed by venues, for venues.
Why not a general CRM
Hostology is built for wedding and event venues, not adapted for them. It brings enquiries, event planning, guest management, catering, accommodation and payments into one venue-native platform. Uniquely, for venues with rooms, accommodation is booked and paid for inside the same event. Founded by five UK venues in 2018.
Seven tools, one platform

Built for venues, opened up to the whole event sphere
Hostology is sold to venues, and it is the venue team that stays in control. Hosts and suppliers are given the tools they need to feed the event, and everything they add flows back into your dashboard.

Case study
See Hostology at scale
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.
