Events, Weddings & Venue Hire
Events & Venues: For Advisers & Agents
What Events & Venues changes for agronomists, agents, vets and consultants.
Advisers need scoped access, defensible records and a way to work across a client base without re-keying. Farm buildings and landscapes make sought-after event venues at price points agriculture cannot match, and events carry the heaviest one-day compliance burden on the farm. This module manages enquiry to delivery, and holds the licensing, safety, capacity and supplier documentation that a single event requires.
In their words

End to end
How Events & Venues runs, start to finish
The module is modelled as a state machine, so at any point the business knows exactly which stage every record is at and what has to happen next.
-
1
Take the enquiry and quote
This is where the record starts, and getting it right here removes work at every later stage.
-
2
Confirm the licensing route for the activities
The platform prompts only for what this stage genuinely needs, and carries everything forward.
-
3
Contract with staged payments
Conflicts with scheme rules, regulatory windows and existing commitments are flagged here rather than discovered later.
-
4
Verify supplier compliance
Capture works offline, so this stage is completed in the field rather than remembered afterwards.
-
5
Complete risk assessments and capacity calculations
Everything recorded at this point becomes evidence automatically, in every format that will later ask for it.
-
6
Build the run sheet and staffing plan
This is the stage most businesses currently do twice, once for the operation and once for the paperwork.
-
7
Deliver the event
Results feed the whole-farm view, so the effect of this stage is visible against the rest of the business.
-
8
Reconcile profitability and collect feedback
The cycle closes here, and what is learned is carried into next season's plan rather than lost.

Booking
Take bookings for events & venues
Availability, deposits and the licences each activity needs, held against the same holding record as everything else. A booking that requires a licence you do not hold is blocked before a deposit is taken, not after.
What has to be in place before you take a deposit
A booking that needs a licence the holding does not hold is blocked at this point, not after the money has moved.
- Planning permission or permitted development The 28-day rule and its exceptions differ by nation and by activity.
- Premises licence Required for alcohol, late refreshment and regulated entertainment.
- Food business registration Twenty-eight days before trading, with the local authority.
- Public liability cover Checked against the activity, not just held on file.

What we are hearing
The problems people describe to us
These are composite statements drawn from user research conversations, not attributed customer quotes. We publish named references only with written consent.
I am not short of software. I am short of one place where the same field means the same thing in all of it.
The scheme closed on a Tuesday evening. I had the application half built. Nobody told me the budget was nearly gone.
We farm on both sides of the border. Everything takes twice as long and I still cannot see the whole position on one screen.
Audit week costs me three days. Every single record they ask for is already written down somewhere on this farm.
