OpsVue for Event Planners

Run every event from one record: vendors, timelines, approvals, files, and money.

Planners are professional rememberers. You hold the vendor list, the timeline, the client's taste, the budget conversation, and forty open loops per event — usually across a spreadsheet, a calendar, a notes app, and an inbox that never empties. The system works because you never stop tending it.

OpsVue gives each event one work record that holds it all: the proposal and every version it went through, the client's recorded approvals, the vendor paperwork, the timeline and its revisions, the tasks, the emails, and the money. It's client management for planners (not attendee registration software), built for the business where the client hires you, not the audience.

When a client approves the revised proposal, that approval is a recorded acceptance with a typed name and a document version attached — not a 'sounds good!' buried three weeks deep in a thread.

The problems this solves

What keeps breaking when it gets busy

Approvals you can't point to

The client okayed the linen upgrade on a call and the revised total in a text. When the invoice lands and memory differs, you have vibes where you need a record.

Vendor paperwork lives in attachments

The caterer's contract, the florist's quote, the venue's insurance requirements — each one is somewhere in your inbox, findable only by scrolling.

The timeline has too many current versions

You email v4 to the venue, hand v5 to the photographer, and keep v6 in your head. Day-of, everyone is confidently working from a different run of show.

Handoffs by memory

Your assistant knows whatever you remembered to say out loud. The walkthrough, the final count, the rental returns — if it isn't assigned with a date, it's a hope.

Every client onboarded by hand

The same welcome email, the same intake questions, the same first invoice, rebuilt each time. The client experience you're known for depends on you re-doing that setup perfectly, every time, tired or not.

The event ends and the record evaporates

What was approved, what changed, what was paid, which vendors delivered — scattered. The recap the client deserves, and the history your next proposal needs, takes a day to reassemble.

The workflow

How the work runs in OpsVue

Here's how an event runs on OpsVue, onboarding to recap:

01
Onboard the client onto a record
The inquiry becomes a work record carrying the contacts, dates, venue, and how they found you. Event details are captured on the record from the first call — structured fields for the facts, notes for the nuance.
02
Propose, and get an approval that counts
Your proposal goes out on a clean document link. The client accepts with a typed name, asks for changes, or declines — and every response is recorded with evidence on the event.
03
Deposit and agreement, same thread
The deposit invoice comes off the accepted version and is paid online through your own connected Stripe account. The agreement and its acceptance live on the record next to the money.
04
Coordinate vendors from the event's folder
Vendor contracts, quotes, and insurance certificates get filed per event with version history. Each vendor deliverable becomes a task with an owner and a due date, so vendor coordination stops being a memory exercise.
05
Treat change as the normal case
Guest count moves, the bar package upgrades, the ceremony shifts an hour. Each change is a new document version the client approves on the same link — history intact, current version never in doubt.
06
Run the timeline to the day
The run of show lives in the event folder with version history, so there is exactly one current timeline. Walkthroughs, final counts, and day-of tasks sit on the company calendar with assignees and due times.
07
Close with a real recap
After the event, the record is the recap: accepted versions, payments, vendor files, emails, and completed tasks. Reporting across events then shows where revenue actually came from and which work paid for the hours.
What matters most here

The capabilities Event Planners teams lean on

One record per event

Client, contacts, proposal versions, approvals, vendor files, tasks, emails, and money on a single work record — searchable in the words you actually use.

Client & Work Management

Approvals with evidence

Clients accept, decline, or request changes on a no-login document link. A typed-name acceptance is recorded with the exact document version it applied to.

Quotes, Proposals & Contracts

Versioned proposals for a business made of changes

Every revision is kept, the current version is explicit, and the client's approval always points at a specific version — which ends the 'which PDF was final' conversation.

Quotes, Proposals & Contracts

Vendor files, organized per event

Contracts, insurance certificates, vendor quotes, and the run of show in per-event folders with version history and per-person sharing for your team.

Smart Files

Tasks that survive delegation

Walkthrough Tuesday, final count Friday, rentals returned Monday — assigned, dated, and visible, with subtasks and labels for how you actually work.

Tasks & Team Operations

A calendar over everything dated

Events, tasks, payment due dates, and deliveries on one company calendar, with saved views per person or per event.

Scheduling & Calendar

Client communication with a paper trail

Email templates in your voice, sent through your connected Gmail or built-in sending, with the send history logged on the event.

Email & Communication

Reporting across your season

OpsVue Intelligence dashboards show Revenue & Collections and Work Profitability across events — where the money came from, what's outstanding, and which events actually paid.

Reporting & Insights
How it plays out

A full-service wedding with a moving target

Say a couple books you full-service for a 150-guest October wedding. Onboarding takes minutes instead of an afternoon: the work record opens with their details, the welcome email goes out from your template, and the proposal (ceremony, reception, design, and coordination) is assembled from your standard sections.

They request changes on their link — swap the string quartet for a DJ, upgrade the bar. Version two goes out, they accept with typed names, and the deposit is paid online the same evening. Over the following months, the caterer's contract, the venue's insurance requirements, and the florist's quote all land in the event's folder, and every vendor confirmation is a task with a due date instead of a sticky note.

Three weeks out, the venue moves load-in an hour earlier. The run of show gets a new version in the folder (older versions stay in history), and the day-of tasks shift with it. After the last dance, the record is the recap: what was approved and when, what was paid, which vendors delivered. When the couple's friends get engaged next spring, the referral is tracked back to them — and your next proposal starts from a complete history instead of archaeology.

Common questions

Is OpsVue an event registration or ticketing platform?

No. Platforms like that manage attendees. OpsVue is client management for the planner: proposals, approvals, vendor files, timelines, tasks, and payments for the clients who hire you.

How do client approvals actually work?

You send a document link — no client account or login needed. The client accepts with a typed name, requests changes, or declines, and each response is recorded as evidence tied to the exact version they were looking at.

Can I keep vendor contracts and insurance certificates per event?

Yes. Every event gets its own file folders with version history, so the caterer's contract and its revision don't blur together. You control per-person sharing for your team, and clients can send documents back through their link.

Does OpsVue include a budgeting tool?

Not a standalone one. The money it manages is the documented kind: quotes and their versions, deposits, balances, and invoices, plus Revenue & Collections reporting across events. For client budget worksheets, keep the spreadsheet in the event's folder with version history.
