Quick Start — Venue Managers

Get your venue listed, bookable, and ready for day-of operations in under an hour.

Who this is for

Venue owners, general managers, and operations leads who want bookings, contracts, deposits, planning details, and day-of ops in one Nigall workspace—not only organizers booking your space.

Details: Billing & Subscriptions

3. Create your venue profile

  1. Open /events/venues/create/.
  2. Complete the wizard:
    - Basic info & photos
    - Location & parking
    - Capacities & rooms
    - Amenities & AV
    - Load-in / dock notes
    - Readiness checklist
    - Check-in method & badge defaults
    - Pricing, deposit, cancellation, contract upload

4. Respond to bookings

  1. Organizers find you at /events/venues/directory/.
  2. Open each booking at /events/venues/bookings/<id>/.
  3. Advance the pipeline: quote → accept → mark contract/deposit → confirm → walkthrough → load-in → event day → inspection → close.

When an organizer links your venue to their event, location and check-in defaults flow into the event record. If you also host events on Nigall, use organizer modules (attendees, volunteers, program) for staffing and guest flow.
