One live plan, not fifteen versions of a spreadsheet
The run sheet, the guest count, the table plan, the supplier timings: all in one place, always current, always the version everyone is looking at.
Event planning
Event planning that pulls the whole day together, in one place
One live plan for the event: the venue team, the host and the suppliers all working from the same document. Run sheets, timings, table plans and supplier tasks, always the current version.
Planning across the team
Hostology gives the venue team, the host and every supplier one live plan for the event. Run sheets, guest counts, table plans, supplier timings and dietary flags all live in the same event. Permissions per role, so the venue stays in control while the host and suppliers contribute what they need.
Everything the day depends on, together

-
Templates for the events you run all the time
Workflow templates for weddings, private parties and corporate, so a new event starts from the shape of your usual day, not a blank page.
-
Hosts and suppliers add their own detail
Give the host access to their event and they add the guest list, table plan and their own timings themselves. Suppliers add their setup and pack-down. It all comes back to you.
-
You stay in control of what everyone can see
Permissions per role, per event, per person. Nothing goes out that you did not intend to send out.
How it fits into your venue's day.
-
01 Create the event from a template
Wedding, private party or your own custom template. The shape of the day is already there.
-
02 Invite the host to their portal
They add their guest list, dietaries, room bookings and table plan. You see it live as it arrives.
-
03 Bring in the suppliers
Caterers, florists, bands, photographers: invite each one, they upload documents and add their timings.
-
04 Run the day from one page
On the morning of the event, the whole team is working from the same event view. Nothing gets missed.
Planning that includes everyone
Venues, hosts, guests and suppliers plan in the same place, so the plan your team delivers on the day is the plan everyone built together, not a version forwarded by email.

Common questions
Can I customise the workflow to fit how we already run events?
Yes. Templates are the starting point, not a straitjacket. You can add or remove steps and save your own templates for the events you run all the time.
What can hosts see and do inside their portal?
You decide, per event. Most venues let hosts manage their guest list, dietaries, table plan and accommodation, and hold back the financial and supplier detail. You can open or close any of that at any point.
Do suppliers need to buy their own subscription?
No. Suppliers use Hostology on invitation from a venue or a host, and it is free for them. They only see the events they have been invited into.
Can we run non-wedding events on the same system?
Yes. Hostology is used for private parties, corporate events, celebrations of life and stays. The event templates are yours to shape.
