Keep the space, event and current plan distinct.

Maintain approved space information.

Identify who updates images, layouts and package details. Your venue approves capacities, configurations and suitability information; the website should present those details clearly.

Collect useful event context.

Choose the starting information staff need to review a request, such as preferred dates and event format. Leave detailed private planning documents for an appropriate client process.

Define availability review.

Your business decides how inquiries, provisional holds and confirmed events differ. Show staff what still needs a decision and make client confirmations appropriate to the action actually completed.

Identify the current plan.

Choose where authorized people find the latest agreed document and who can change it. Make unresolved questions visible rather than assuming that an emailed file has been reviewed.

Try a changed event.

• The date or event format changes.
• A preferred space is unavailable.
• The inquiry lacks a useful group-size estimate.
• A planning document is revised after distribution.

Use fictional events to check the next staff action without creating real holds or messaging clients.
