Testimonials for conferences
We used Event Smart for our Annual National Conference. It was easy to use and had all the features we needed for a multiple-day event with numerous concurrent sessions. It had multiple pricing levels and promo codes were easy to apply. The dashboard was a little complex but there were plenty of tutorials and their customer service was on top of it, very prompt in responses. –Jabbar Beig
I chose Event Smart to sell tickets to our non-profit’s tricky tray fundraiser after evaluating many competitors.
They were able to integrate with PayPal, did not take a percentage of ticket sales, allowed for numerous ticket types to accommodate our bundle packages, and had great reporting which allowed us to ensure no one fell victim to scam.
The team was extremely responsive to my questions involving advanced programming and layout. Ultimately the site looked extremely professional and worked flawlessly, and most importantly did not take much away from funds raised. I would never go back to manually processing registrations and payments. –Amanda Mioli
I’m fundraising for my children’s preschool and I was looking for a cost effective software that would allow us to sell tickets to our event without a mandatory yearly subscription and the expensive monthly plans from many auction software programs. I tested Event Smart for about a month, tried the free trial and hit the jackpot. This database is amazing and the tech/customer sales team are supportive, helpful, and simply wonderful. Any issues or dislikes that I encounter they would guide me how to fix or they would change on their end to make the website more user friendly. I highly recommend Event Smart! –Katherine Gary
I chose Event Smart after extensively researching other overpriced options. Event Smart proved to be a great choice for my event. I needed to provide three different ticketing options for my school’s fundraiser. The Event Smart support team was there every step of the way to answer all my questions. The add-on features that I chose were helpful and affordable. I would choose Event Smart again. –Irene Henkens
When I volunteered with the elementary school PTO to help with an event, I had no idea they needed me to build a registration website from scratch, complete with ticket selling and credit card handling. I was at a loss as to where to begin, then one of the moms pointed me to Event Smart. Thank goodness for Event Smart and all the helpful people who are just a shout away with technical support (and they were so very kind about answering every stupid little question I had!). The dreaded website was about as easy to set up as a party invitation through Evite. No kidding. The hardest part was extracting the proper PayPal information out of our finance secretary. I can’t say enough good about Event Smart. What a tool. What support. What wonderful people! Thank you for being there for me. –Yoko Inokuma Bulman
Event Smart worked great for setting up my high school reunion. The site provided me with every option that I needed. I was able to easily link the events payments to PayPal. What I really like was that we were trying to promote people to pay early so we could get a guaranteed head count. I was able to setup multiple ticket prices that and have the early bird discounts expire at a certain date. I highly recommend this site to anyone that is planning events. We will definitely use the site going forward. –Jeff Poltis
Used Event Smart for ticketing for a family reunion. The program was easy to use, and when I had any issues, I always received a quick, helpful response. I will be using the program again in the future! –Michelle Lyn
Testimonials for festivals
Just a big thank you to all the Event Smart staff that have been so helpful in making the event possible. When we began the project we looked at dozens of services and we’re so glad we went with Event Smart. Their staff fielded a lot of questions from us, gave us great help and timely advice. The Event Smart clear and straight-forward billing system was a massive help. After dealing with so many companies that pile fee upon fee and make it so difficult to plan budgets, the Event Smart system made a huge difference. We knew how much we would spend on their services from the get-go. We’ll be using Event Smart again for next year’s lake oconee food & wine festival! –John Bond
Easy-to-use event ticketing and fee collection system. We used it for our annual backyard party and couldn’t have been more delighted with guests’ responses and ease of use. Perfect for your event no matter how big or small. –David Pittman
Testimonials over other services
Event Smart provided my event with everything I needed. It was a school event and it helped the event be a success. In previous years we had used EventBrite and we saved over $1k by switching to Event Smart this year. The customer service provided was amazing and we will continue using Event Smart for future events. Thank you, Event Smart! –Natalia Souza
I used this service for an event for my Promo. Group SoClub1701. After the initial learning curve I was able to sell my tickets without issue, payment was processed online and eTickets were sent with QR codes for easy scanning using a 3rd party app. After getting the hang of it, not to mention they take 0% of tickets sales, I was left satisfied and will continue to use this service. –Adam Vaiman
Extremely helpful customer service and a friendly try out option – also cheaper than Eventbrite. Definitely worth trying! –Micah Kessel
I used Event Smart for the first time recently. It was so easy to set up the event and all the details. I especially appreciated the support when I needed it. I will use Event Smart again for our next event! Keep up the good work! –Brenda Stuart
I used Event Smart to create a website to accept registrations and payments. It is extremely powerful and feature rich. A little advance WordPress experience is helpful to use but it does a lot and is pretty intuitive once you get to it. –Jim Nichols

The staff at Event Smart were quick to respond to all my questions. They provided great customer service. –Nanette Hitchcock
We have been using Event Smart since the summer, and what a difference! It is a pleasure to use, easy, and when it is not so easy help is almost immediate. The team just got it sorted for me, so I didn’t have to struggle. What a joy to have you as part of my team! –Lea Misan
Thank you, Event Smart, for providing us an economical solution for our Cville2Jtown pilgrimage registration! Your support staff was amazing in getting us up and running and in answering our questions in a timely and effective manner. We will use you again in registering folks for our next big event! –Michael Cheuk
Event Smart is really easy to use. I was able to set up my event in one day and was able to collect money through Stripe. Everything was straight-forward and my event was a large success. Customer service is also very prompt and professional. I will definitely use them again. –Đạt Phát Mao
Super easy to use and customer service was quick to respond! Our attendees were easily able to pay their registration fees and we had no problems. Quick set up as well. Would recommend! –Melissa Cooper
Takes getting used to the system, but all in all, a good setup for event registrations / ticketing and payment features. –Ai Li Ng
Garth at Event Smart was very helpful and responsive to questions and helped get the site up and running and connected to PayPal, etc. Without his assistance I would still be struggling to have my ticketing in place for my event. –Jaime Durand
So, I think I got decently good to create events but when it came to change emails notices and tickets I got all confused. Customer service 1. They reply my message like in 10min, and 2. My problem was solved in less than 30min after I ask for help. It was so easy when they gave me a little direction. Great platform and customer service! –Obed Esquivel
Event Smart is the perfect solution to support ad-hoc events because they offer event-based subscriptions which you can opt for if you don’t do events all year-round. We used Event Smart recently for one of our events and we had no issues using their e-ticket system. It was definitely a worthwhile experience for both the organiser and the attendees! Their service is also highly commendable – if you have any difficulties navigating around their platform, don’t worry because they’re very responsive and are always happy to help you out. Thanks Event Smart for providing this service and we’ll be sure to use your platform for our next event! –Diyana Ramlan
It’s easy to set up and is very user friendly! Really helps with event registrations! –Aaron Barker
It is very intuitive and I love how you can create different sub-events and different pricing options. Would definitely recommend! –Isabela Artigues
Eventsmart helped me to manage both my inperson courses for Film School for Business People and to easily transfer the course online when Corona appeared. You can easily export your registration list for ease in using with other tools. They also let you easily design your own site with your own branding, its pretty awesome! –Nitsana Bellehsen
Totally the best at what they do, you are making a mistake if you choose anyone else! They are kind, helpful and know their stuff and on top of that they reply to question fast. They take the stress away. –Thomas Parsans
Event Smart was very easy to use for our first event and we paid for just the features we needed. –Heather Schumacher Wilber
Excellent service to use for online ticket sales. –Leon James
Event Smart has been very helpful setting up a system for our large Photography Symposium Event, and is great for our Non-Profit organization. Their customer service is excellent, quick, and helpful. Thanks Event Smart! –Lisa Clanton
Event Smart really helped with our annual conference this year. It made it easy for attendees to register and pay for their conference registration fee. We liked that we could offer credit card payments and offline payments with checks to our attendees. –Nancy Robinson
Testimonials for fundraisers
Garth and Lorenzo from Event Smart were such a HUGE help with setting up my school fundraising event in August 2019. They were quick to answer and help with any problems I came across, but all problems were due to my lack of being Tech savvy J. They had huge amount of patience and would send me step by step help to fix any problems I was having. They were always touching base to see who everything going, and even reached out after the fundraiser was over to ask about the outcome of the fundraiser and if there was anything else I needed. Event Smart is a great format to set up your next event!!! –Liza https://rootintootinshootin.eventsmart.com
Event Smart did a great job supporting our non-profit event! We saved a lot of money compared to other services and were very helpful. –Herrick Muhlestein
Event Smart is a user-friendly system, as advertised. The service and troubleshooting are also fantastic. We were impressed by the simplicity – download the app on a few phones, and scan in hundreds of tickets with zero issues. Lookups for lost tickets were also no problem at all. There are price models for everything, and for our non-profit, it was appreciated that we were able to secure all of the features we needed with little hit to the bottom line. Most definitely will continue our relationship with Event Smart! –Lynne Cohen
Testimonials for reunions
I used Event Smart for a large extended family reunion this summer and couldn’t have been happier. It was absolutely perfect. I was able to easily create a landing page for my event, create tickets for everything from lodging and t-shirts to meals and other fee on a single form, capture registration data, and interface beautifully with paypal. basic tutorial prompts appeared on each new page on my first visit but it was hardly necessary. Everything was intuitive and easy to use. I was able to subscribe only to the functionality I needed piece by piece and the prices were very reasonable. The platform is built to handle much more complex but was simple enough for mine as well. Finally, the staff was extremely response when I needed the on a couple occasions. I’ll definitely be back –Mark Mcconkie
We used Event Smart for our 10 year high school reunion and it was so easy on our admin side and for our alumni to register and pay for the event. Event Smart has made it so easy to have different set up options to cater to your event needs. The customer service is very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Event Smart. –Rachel Hinojosa
Event Smart was such an amazing site for our vintage market!!! Both Garth and Lorenzo answered ALL of our questions (and there were many) and walked us through each step!!! We loved working with both of them and their site was easy to navigate and worked wonderfully for our online ticket sales!!! We will definitely be using their site for all future online ticket sales! –Sara Speckin Czubak
Testimonials for classes & workshops
Found Event Smart when I was looking for a way to add a paid registration to my upcoming events. I found their staff to be quickly responsive to my questions through email. Great customer service. I used them for one event and now I’m scheduling a few additional events through them in the future. –Brenda Meller
Incredible, easy to use and affordable event/workshop registration system! We have been teaching courses for the past 8 years and just switched over to Event Smart due to our original system no longer being supported. so far it has been great, easy to use and the support staff is amazing and quick! The system is simple yet you can easily customize everything! Look no further. –Jenny Hammerpants
We used Event Smart for our Winter Wonders festival ticketing, and it was a huge success! The software worked well and made it easy for our attendees to buy and pay for tickets online with a credit card. We are looking forward to working with you again for our 2021 event. –Ralph Garrity
Testimonials for churches
Our church in Saskatchewan chose Event Smart to help collect registrations online to Sunday services. We want our members to still feel connected in these challenging times and do it safely by limiting the number of attendees. Event Smart is powerful and works quite well, so we’ve started offering registrations for youth and young adult events. -DN
At the beginning of June when public Masses at church began again, we needed a reliable and flexible system that allowed us to register participants and limit the number of people at each service. We investigated five or six different solutions and EventSmart easily beat the rest. The free two-week trial was great so we could learn the system and see if it was right for our church. We then became full members after discovering everything that Event Smart had to offer. –Dean Marshall
We chose Event Smart in order to offer “tickets” when it was safe for our members to return to church during the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform is easy to use and the most useful feature is the ability to keep a record of when and who attends our services. –Myron Glova
We are using Event Smart as a sign-in for our church services during this Covid 19 time to ensure we stay at reduced capacity. We couldn’t be happier. The program is easy to use for me to track attendance requests. –Darren Williams
The Event Smart team is responsive and patient. They are always polite and helpful with any issue or question I have. I recommend them to anyone when I hear they are looking to host events. The prices are reasonable and the site is user-friendly. I know there are many features they offer that I don’t use (not needed) but the features I have used are great! I’ve been using them for 3 yrs and will continue to! Thanks Event Smart for helping me stay organized for my Church event.
Testimonials for socials
Event Smart helps our community club collect registrations online for our weekly dance classes. We also like that we can limit the number registrations for an event to keep our dancers safe. We are now trying it out for an upcoming wreath sale fundraiser! –Pam Shaw Hargrove
We used Event Smart to collect registrations for an upcoming business event. We like that it was easy for attendees to register and pay online. Plus, we could create a report to see who registered in just a few clicks. –Ashley Evensen
I loved using Event Smart! It worked really well for selling tickets to our Valentine’s day 5-course table d’hôte. See you again in November for our next event. –Patrick Garland
Our winery has been using Event Smart after changing from another company. The system is easy to use after set up and the costs are very reasonable. –Diane Schoffstall
Event Smart is a user-friendly system, and the team behind it make all the difference. The service and troubleshooting was fantastic. Special thanks to Lorenzo for his patience and customer-friendly can-do attitude! –Nadia Van Dam
For ease of getting started, registration options, and very low cost, Event Smart is the best registration system I’ve used. We run 6 days of statewide professional events each year, and this system was easy to use and accommodated lots of variations in how people chose to register. –Bob Utke
There’s a growing trend of people in my country using Eventbrite and meetup.com for free food. Event Smart offers a controlled alternative where you can password your event, manually approve people, customize notifications, and sell tickets at your costing. While there’s a learning curve and it seems to just be a WordPress plugin they are selling you, ultimately it gets the job done at a 4/5 stars level. Get it if you really need the increased control over your event registration! –Wong Zi Zang
I was looking for a free event registration website and came across Event Smart. While there is a learning curve they have LOTS of help in place to make things go as easily as possible. I LOVE the flexibility and the fact that I can use whatever payment option works best for me. My registrants had no problem using the system and everything worked out great without all the fees!! THANK YOU Event Smart for filling a much needed niche! –Natalie Acheson
Tried Event Smart for the first time struggled initially with the set up but the support team was amazing to help through the process. Event Smart made managing the event registration quite simple and once you understand its quite easy to manage. I would highly recommend to use this platform – three cheers to the support team –Tawani Vikas
Event Smart is an amazing & customizable tool to facilitate ticket payment for events. We used it to coordinate an event that 140 people attended. People were able to seamlessly pay through paypal (with tiered ticketing options). We were also able to export data easily into excel with the names, emails, # tickets purchased etc. I highly recommend this easy to implement tool for ticketing and payment of your event. I plan on utilizing this site for future paid events. –Beth P.
Brilliant service! Worked perfectly for my 200 person event – will definitely use again. –Becks AiryFairy
I’ve honestly never been so please with online customer support staff! I was shocked about all this as it’s so rare to get this kind of customer service online with any service provider or retailer even. Your site is great and I’ve been recommending it to many colleagues and friends. Special thanks to Garth Koyle for his support! Cheers from Toronto, CA. –Sonia Dee
Event Smart is a great, convenient and free service which has been quite beneficial to us in planning and executing events. The only drawback is that the interface can be a bit unintuitive. Overall it is a great tool and support is quick to respond to any issues. –Ashley Byrne
What I like most about Event Smart is their attentive staff who is always available to answer any questions, fix any problems, or help me troubleshoot by walking me through different components at any time. Event Smart is a great tool for us to ensure proper registration is coordinated for each of our events, and I especially love the integration features with other important software and CRM tools used by our organization, such as MailChimp and InfusionSoft. –Vianni Busquets
I love Event Smart. They are so helpful, their troubleshooting is excellent they are always there to provide clear instruction, all my questions were dealt with equal importance and for an “IT Blond”, the platform is user-friendly. Even when my event had to be cancelled they arranged an instant refund. Event Smart is an honest, straight forward, no nonsense company that really feel like they are actually there for YOU! Thank you for a superbly refreshing customer experience throughout. –Villia De Koningh
I work for a winery in southern MN and I have always had timely and effective responses from Event Smart. I don’t have time to wait on hold for hours at a time and I have never had to do that with their team. All of my requests were taken care of within an hour via the chat! So happy to use such a great program! –Courtney Malone
I love Event Smart’s flexibility! I volunteered to set-up registration for a small annual event to which people could register and pay online and that I could collect extra information from the attendees and provide it to different committees. I found the ability to do all of this using Event Smart and the bonus was that I could select which upgrades I needed and for how long (on a monthly basis) – It is such a refreshing change rather then having to pay for more than we needed in a preformed plan. I will be using them again next year! –Irene Ireland
The customer service is honestly amazing! They help my organization weekly as we host local food distributions. –Andrew Gronda
Event Smart helped me collect registrations for my monthly virtual sessions. My attendees could quickly register and come together through Zoom from the safety of their homes. –Bree Dellerson
I recently used the Event Smart online software for a volunteer COPA for Kids event providing kids 8 to 17 a chance to fly in a small plane. The ability for preregistration in different time slots was of great benefit. The software itself and the technical support we received to answer questions was outstanding. The ease of customization and export of registered users data was exactly what we needed for our event. We will continue to use the Event Smart software and highly recommend it. –Kyle Bialas, COPA for Kids – Airdire
This is the first time I’ve used Event Smart, and I’m happily amazed at how good it is. We just launched our email campaign for an event today, and the service is functioning just as it should–plus, I’m discovering new capabilities as we go. The app is far more complete in functionality and usability than I expected. So far, our experience is very good. Well done. –Ken, East Bay Rowing Club
Thank you for attentive support around our charity event fundraiser using Event Smart, Laugh Out loud was a resounding success where we made over 600 pound for our charity and your interface and platform helped tremendously. –Nigel, LGBT Youth Scotland
Very wonderful website to manage my events its just outstanding .. I would like to thank you all behind delivering this service. –Waleed, The International Conference on Computing, Control, Networking, Electronics and Embedded Systems Engineering (ICCNEEE 2015)
Thanks Event Smart Team. Our Event was well organized because of Event Smart Registration Process, Verification of registration code. Everything was perfect. –Deepak, Diwali Mela 2015
The events where I generally speak are ministry oriented, so we are always trying to keep our cost to participate as low as possible. That’s why I was so excited to find Event Smart! Other online registration services were charging over 10% of our ticket price just to use the registration feature – that didn’t even include the cost of payment processing. Here we were able to put together a beautiful invite with full registration capabilities online for FREE! We were able to set up payment by Paypal or an invoice option, which met our needs. But even if we needed added features, the cost to upgrade is very inexpensive so I would definitely consider it for future events if we needed it. It’s built on a WordPress platform, so I felt like I was working on my blog but I’m not a WordPress expert, so I appreciated all the support I got to get our invite and registration form up and running. It is such a blessing to have a cost effective alternative for offering online invites and registration and I will definitely be using Event Smart for future events. If you are a ministry leader or non-profit, or any event planner on a budget, you will definitely want to give them a try. –Lynne Leite, www.CurlyGirl4God.com
As an internal event management team from a big pharmaceutical company we searched for a tool that could do ticket and calendar registrations over the internet but with password protected capabilities. After a lot of testing and searching we came up with Event Smart being the best in class and also best in value.
The platform is very flexible and needs some learning and testing before you are good to go but once that’s done you have unlimited possibilities from creating timeslots of 10 min events during the day to selling festival tickets to our employees. It’s all there! –Erik D.
We are happy with Event Smart and use it primarily once a year. Everything went well with our event this year and we will plan to use it in next year. Lindsay P
We at Maggie’s be Café have been very pleased with Eventsmart. We have run multiple different events on the platform using significantly different setups and they have run flawlessly. On the rare occasion that I am struggling with a setup issue, their customer support has been extremely responsive in resolving the issue. We couldn’t be happier. –David, Maggie’s be Cafe
