There are social media features that allow users to share events or leave comments on the event page.
If you like to see videos of some of the features, such as adding custom icons, setting featured events, adding location map, or even creating a merchandise section, check out the plugin page on CodeCanyon.
#7 Event Expresso
Our next plugin is available in both free and premium versions. I’ve added the link here for premium one while you can find its lite (free) version right among the WordPress’s plugin store. If you love coffee a lot, then you’re going to like many aspects of this plugin. This is mainly because most of the labels are inspired by the coffee itself.
It will help you set up events, meetings, lessons or any other registration you may want to start with your readers or clients. It’s completely integrated with WordPress and supports most popular browsers. It’s compatible with the latest version of WordPress, but it misses out being responsive completely.
#8 Booking System PRO
This premium one will help you configure calendar, activities, services, discounts and attach all these things to a product. You can set them in different orders, and even a shopping cart can be put right away with them.
The plugin can even set certain features that will allow users to enter events and other details from the front end of the website. The coding part is supported by AJAX for smoother user experience, and a lot of extra features are offered which you may or may not need around. If you wish to set around a price tag offering a discount then both these things are possible within.

Thank you for stopping great work on Event Espresso. It is Pawan who reviewed and created this article and I will ask him if he could test your plugin on a responsive theme and report back here.

Great round up! I thought I’d mention our event ticketing widget at picatic.com. It comes in a couple of flavors, light and dark –and incorporates a preview of your event page cover photo. Its a clean, simple and free option for event organizers to ticket directly from their website.

Posted at 09:44h, 28 DecemberPicatic just withdrew (Dec 21) a lot of options from the free, basic plan. Price-wise, they’re basically on par with EventBrite now once you include all the costs. It has sent us back to the drawing board for one price-sensitive client.

Posted at 02:53h, 04 MayEventOn plugin looks so cute. So before I bought it I googled “eventon plugin review” just to double-check. Well, a number of unhappy reviews came up with, don’t believe me, check out his own plugins help queue. Well, glad I did because wow, it is really long and nobody is getting an answer! I noticed one saying it didn’t work with the newest version of WooCommerce, that is critical for me. Then another, and another. Well, if I am paying for a plugin I need support, not to mention WooCommerce integration. So, beware EventOn plugin…

Posted at 21:33h, 01 AugustI mostly like the fact that all core features are included, unlike other plugins which charge extra for add-ons, and the support is great as well. I highly recommend it!

I’m trying to set up a wedding planning user area for my website. I’m looking for a front end event plugin that will fit a responsive theme that users can manage themselves and every user gets the same project template. Ideally it should consist of checklists ,a vendor address book. Progress toolbars, I’d love a seating planner and an area to manage budget. Does anyone know how best to achieve this?
