A lifecycle with an approval gate
Draft, sent for approval, published, registration open, closed, settled, done. Whoever should sign off holds the permission to do it — and a rejection carries a reason rather than a shrug.
Every answer is a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group, or one person's head. All three hold up until the week three events land at once. Evento is where that work lives instead — and it never asks to hold your money on the way through.
This is the honest list. Everything here is running in the product now — no "coming soon" hidden in a footnote.

Build the team per event from your roster. Roles are composed from real permissions, so a freelancer can see their event and nothing else. Seats are unlimited on every tier.
Seven event templates and a form builder for what you collect each time. Set up the second wedding faster than the first, and the fifteenth faster than that.
A public page per event with a proper preview in chat, and check-in by name or QR on the day — idempotent, and it queues when the hall has no signal.
Your client pays you directly. You pay the florist, the caterer and the venue directly. Evento's job is to remember all of it — quoted, paid, outstanding — not to sit in the middle taking a cut and a settlement delay. Nobody producing a wedding wants a new intermediary holding the budget, and we have no interest in becoming one. Vendor records are in build; the ledger they write to is already there.
A committee that changes by election every year is the strongest case for a record we have found. Everything the last committee learned about the festival — the vendors, the running order, who did what — currently leaves with them.
Ten places, at ₹2,499 a month for eight concurrent events, locked for twelve months — half of what that capacity will cost afterwards. Here is the trade, stated plainly.
You will find out in week two anyway. A founding customer who signed knowing exactly what was missing is someone we can call for an honest opinion; one who felt oversold is a refund and a story. The whole point of this cohort is that you shape what gets built next — which only works if you knew what you were joining.
How many events are in flight, how big the crew gets, and where the list lives today. Twenty minutes is enough for both of us to know whether this is worth doing yet — and if it isn't, we'll say so.
