The best pick for each kind of venue

An independent event or wedding venue: MyVenueHQ. Floor plans, BEOs and contracts on one event. We make it, so weigh this pick against the table.
A restaurant, bar or winery selling private dining: Perfect Venue. It connects to OpenTable and Tock.
A hotel or a group with many properties: Tripleseat, Event Temple or iVvy. Hotel and multi-property tools sold through demos. Tripleseat and Event Temple sign you for a year.
A venue that wants a person to run its setup: Planning Pod. Demo first, with paid onboarding and data migration.
A planner or service business: HoneyBook or Aisle Planner. Client projects, proposals and payments for event pros.
Floor plans only: Cvent Event Diagramming (Social Tables). A free plan for 3 events, with paid plans on 12-month terms.

When you compare them, check four things: whether the price is published, whether there is a free plan, whether you sign for a year, and whether card payments carry an extra fee. Our guides cover software for wedding venues and software for several locations, and the free event floor plan maker needs no account.
