Event management and event organisers
Ticket types, QR tickets and check-in at the door, for free and paid events.
Creative and events
Online booking for events and creative businesses
Event organisers, photographers, studios and workshop hosts sell time and places: a shoot, a seat at a talk, a slot on a mini-session day. CaliDiary takes those bookings on your own WordPress website, free or paid, with a limit on places that is never exceeded. On Solo and Pro, events can have ticket types, QR tickets and check-in at the door.

What events and creative businesses have in common
- Places, not just appointments: a talk with 80 seats or a workshop with 16. Group sessions count places inside the booking lock, so they are never oversold.
- Free and paid side by side: a free talk and a paid workshop on one form, each with its own price or none.
- Some bookings need a check: a location shoot, an invitation-only launch. Requests you approve hold the time while you decide.
- Looks matter: the booking form takes your colours and sits inside your own website.
- Events with tickets (Solo and Pro): ticket types with their own prices and limits, QR tickets made on your own site, and check-in at the door.

Can I sell tickets for an event?
Yes, on Solo and Pro. An event can be free or paid, run on several dates, and have ticket types with their own prices and limits, QR tickets and check-in at the door.
Can a client's booking be checked before it is confirmed?
