Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I add only vendors I find on eventplanner.net?
You do not have to limit yourself to vendors on eventplanner.net. You can also add your favorite event vendors and venues by pinning a link.
-
How can I share the event moodboard with my team?
Sharing your moodboard is simple. You can use one-click sharing to give your team access. Team members can, depending on rights, view, edit, and add input directly to keep everyone aligned.
-
How can I share the event moodboard with my clients?
Yes, you can give clients access just like team members. You control their access level, so you decide whether they can view only or collaborate on the moodboard and other tools.
-
What vendor types does your directory provide?
Our directory includes catering, decoration and stand building, entertainment, event agencies, event staff, event venues, freelancers, insurance, marketing and promotion, music, photo and video, rental, sale, security, software, team building, and transport and traffic providers.
-
What if my favorite vendors are not on the list?
If your favorite vendors are not listed, you can invite them to register for free on eventplanner.net and create their business page. As an alternative, you can add a link to the vendor website directly to your moodboard.
-
What happens to my archived moodboards?
Archived moodboards and events remain stored in your account for future reference. You can revisit them to reuse vendor selections, review concepts, or duplicate them for similar events.
-
Is there a storage limit, and how long can I access past event data?
The platform offers generous storage for archived and active moodboards, with no strict limits for most users. Past event data remains accessible as long as your account is active. For unlimited use, consider upgrading to .PRO.
-
Can I set different permission levels for team members?
Yes, you can assign different permission levels. Some people can have full editing rights, while others can have view-only access. Access can also be limited across modules.
-
Can I request vendor quotes directly from the platform?
Yes. You can request quotes directly from vendors listed on your moodboard, and collaborate with those vendors within the broader event software.
-
What is an event moodboard?
An event moodboard is a visual collection of references - venues, decor, suppliers, colours, posts, articles - that captures the feeling and direction of an event before any commitments are made. It is where the concept lives in its earliest form: not a brief, not a budget, but a mood. Used well, a moodboard is the artefact that aligns the people involved (the client, the team, the partner planning with you) on what the event should feel like, before anyone argues about what it should cost.
-
How do I create a wedding moodboard?
Start by collecting, not curating. Pin venues, florists, photographers, table settings, lighting concepts, dresses, food styling - anything that catches your eye - without filtering at first. Once you have 30-50 references, patterns will emerge: a colour palette, a level of formality, an indoor-outdoor preference, the kind of light you keep coming back to. That pattern is your concept. With eventplanner.net, you create a moodboard tied to your wedding event, pin venues and suppliers from the directory directly, save inspiring posts and articles, and add external links to anything you spot elsewhere on the web. The board is shareable, so your partner, your wedding planner, or the parents helping organise can pin alongside you. Once the visual direction is settled, the same event automatically connects to your wedding budget, checklist, and supplier list - so the moodboard becomes the starting point of the actual planning, not a separate document that gets forgotten. eventplanner.net's wedding planning software is built around exactly this idea: the moodboard, the budget, the timeline, and the supplier list all live in one workspace, so nothing falls between the gaps.
-
How is an event moodboard different from a Pinterest board?
The visual gathering is similar - Pinterest is a fine inspiration tool. The difference is what comes next. A Pinterest pin is a link to a photo. A pin in eventplanner.net is a link to a real venue or supplier you can request a quote from, save to your shortlist, and eventually book - all without leaving the platform. The moodboard sits inside the same workspace as your budget, checklist, supplier list and even your guest list, so the inspiration phase connects directly to the planning phase rather than living in a separate app you eventually copy out of.
-
Can multiple people work on the same moodboard?
Yes. Invite co-organisers, your client, or your event team to the same event and they can pin to and view the moodboard alongside you. This works particularly well in two cases: clients and event agencies aligning early on the visual direction, and couples planning a wedding together where both partners want a say in the look and feel.
-
How does a moodboard help when briefing a venue or supplier?
A briefing written in words alone leaves a lot of room for interpretation - 'elegant', 'warm', 'modern' mean different things to different suppliers. A moodboard removes that ambiguity. Sharing a board with a caterer, a florist, or an event agency lets them see the style, atmosphere and quality level you're aiming for, which leads to better-targeted proposals and far less back-and-forth at the quote stage. In eventplanner.net, you can attach a moodboard reference directly to a supplier briefing so the visual direction travels with the brief.
-
How many moodboards can I create?
One per event, with no limit on the number of events you create over time. Free users can keep one event active at a time and unlimited sequential events; .PRO users can run multiple events in parallel. Items pinned to one moodboard stay with that event - so previous weddings, conferences, or product launches remain accessible as a personal reference library you can draw on for future projects.
-
Is the moodboard tool free?
Yes. Moodboards is part of the free tier of eventplanner.net, with no time limit and no payment details required. The same is true of checklists, basic budgets, callsheets and ticketing; supplier management and briefings are part of .PRO.
-
Can I share my moodboard with my client (or my partner) without giving them a full account?
Yes. You can invite them to the event as a collaborator with view or comment-only access, so they can see the moodboard and weigh in without being able to change other parts of the planning. For wedding couples, this is the simplest way for both partners to build the board together and share it with their wedding planner. For agencies, it's how you keep the client involved in the creative direction without exposing the budget or supplier commercials. For in-house teams, it's how you keep stakeholders aligned without giving them access to the full planning workspace.
