Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Event Essentials has been my go-to event management company for over 5 years. Their reliable ticket purchasing software is flexible and updates easily. Ticket buyer data collection is valuable to support promotion, to send updates and alerts, and allows follow up on customer satisfaction. Staff responds quickly to emails and performs requests rapidly. Their “hands-on” participation makes one feel you have reliable partners. They continue to help raise the bar on event presentation with creative input that is customized to support our goals. I've had nothing but good experiences with Event Essentials and their software / service. They're on the forefront with this software and tech in general. Cons In over 5 years working with Event Essentials, I have never been disappointed in their services. I had a good experience and don't have any complaints.		Pros from Real Users Pros Liked the lay out and the sequencing of the pages. It is logical and well laid out. The arrangement makes it unlikely that the user will forget to include something, and corrections are easy to do. I love Eventgroove's event management software. Under my own brand, I am able to host events for multiple event organizers and producers. The event wizard provides a step-by-step guide to gathering the right information to publish an event within minutes! I loved that we could create a paid access to virtually watch the Jazz Concert that we were also doing live. Easy to design online. Great customer support. Finished product is high quality & professional. Our guests are excited to receive these beautiful tickets and they add to building excitement for our events. I enjoy Eventgroove's ease of use and speed of manufacture and delivery. I also enjoy the quality and selection of products. They seem to be curated exactly for what I need! The site has a simple interface and is easy to use and setup your event. Ability to streamline your event as you see fit or envision. Everything that was done through Eventgroove was to perfection! Working on the October event as this is written, received my online ordered tickets via UPS 2 day delivery today as promised! We began using the service with TicketRiver in 2017 for ticketing and advertising our annual wine festival. Designing tickets and wristbands is simple and straight-forward. Setting up online ticket purchasing also is a breeze! I like the fact that I can customize any of the hundreds of choices of tickets available for me to view. It is easily accessible, and very simple to manipulate the tickets. Tickets are always in order and done with professional quality. Our fans are always feeling lime its time to enter a pro fight at our amateur boxing event due to the quality of the tickets from Eventgroove.
