The lifecycle of a brief
What happens after you post
01 · Published
Publish once, never repeat yourself.
Set the date, guest count, budget and must-haves, plus a response deadline. EventBid notifies every venue that fits your brief — you never search, and the timeline is fixed and fair for everyone bidding.

Venues answer the same questions.
Each proposal arrives in one structure — total price, inclusions, availability — so offers are comparable instead of a pile of PDFs and phone calls. Venues can revise until your deadline, and you always see the latest version.

Trade-offs in plain language.
Every proposal is scored against your brief. Gaps are flagged before you commit, and the differences are explained in plain English — you compare on substance, not formatting.

Accept one, the rest close themselves.
Locking a deal is atomic: your venue’s contact details are shared with you, every other proposal closes automatically, and the brief is sealed as a permanent read-only record.

The heavy reading, done for you
When two or more proposals arrive, EventBid scores each one against your brief and explains the trade-offs — so the decision rests on substance, not on who wrote the prettier pitch.
- A match score for every proposal, weighted to what your brief says matters
- Plain-English summaries — no spec sheets to decode
- Gaps flagged before you commit, not after

From a locked brief
“I had five proposals side by side in two days. The AI summary spotted that one venue never confirmed my date — I would have missed it completely.”
