Event Boss review
A broad event workflow platform for UK caterers, venues, planners and decorators.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Event Boss is a cloud-based event and catering management platform for caterers, venues, decorators, planners and wedding-industry businesses. It brings client and enquiry management together with proposal, contract and invoice generation, menu and package planning, event scheduling, staff rotas, inventory control, payment tracking and event logistics. The workflow is designed to cover activity from an initial enquiry through planning, payment and event execution, making it a fit for businesses that want core event operations in one web-based system.
Pricing is split by business type. The Venues plan costs £60 per month and includes CRM, proposal and invoice generation, event scheduling, inventory and stock control, staff management and API access. Decorators and Caterers plans cost £70 per month; Caterers adds food tasting coordination, while Decorators retains the listed core features. Venues & Caterers costs £75 per month and includes food tasting coordination. The Planners plan also costs £75 per month and adds a guest planner. Prices are shown in British pounds excluding taxes, and one-off setup fees are listed separately. A free trial is advertised, while the product remains paid rather than offering a free plan.
Its strongest point is breadth: Event Boss combines commercial administration with operational tools such as custom menus, task management, loading lists, venue information and staff coordination. Accounting-system connectivity, email integrations and API access support links with surrounding workflows, although the platform is web-only. Businesses needing a broad event-management system should shortlist it, particularly UK caterers that need tasting coordination, stock control and logistics alongside proposals and payments. Teams seeking a free product, a mobile-first option or a highly specialized tool outside these event workflows should consider alternatives.
