The same six steps whether you are an organiser filling a call sheet or a supplier looking for the next job.
Open briefs with the budget, date, guest count and required services stated up front — not hidden behind a paywall.
Search by service and city, filter by radius, price and who is actually free on the date.
Shortlist suppliers as you find them. They sort themselves into the role each one fills, so the gaps stay visible.
Ask from any profile with your date and guest numbers already attached, or reply straight to a brief.
Every enquiry is logged on your dashboard, so you can see who came back and who still owes you a number.
Terms agreed, dates held, deposit scheduled. The team you assembled becomes the team on site.
So your shortlist is not one long list. Save a supplier and they file themselves under every role they could fill — venue, catering, sound, security. What you see is your team taking shape, and the roles still standing empty.
Posting is free and takes about four minutes. Suppliers can browse and quote on open briefs without paying anything either.
