01
Inquiries arrive from too many places
Referrals, venues, corporate contacts, and website forms need one follow-up record before the client goes cold.
Maroo for event planners
Business software for event planners who book, bill, and get paid around real events.
Manage inquiries, send polished quotes and contracts, collect deposits, schedule client payments, and pay contractors from one organized workspace.
The actual problem
Your event client experience is only as strong as your operations.
Clients notice every operational detail. The proposal, contract, deposit, invoice, payment reminder, and contractor payout all shape whether an event feels controlled and professional.
Event Planners
02
Deposits need clean timing
Dates and production resources are not protected until the contract, deposit, and event details are all connected.
03
Event scope changes quickly
Guest count, rentals, staffing, production needs, and travel can change the invoice midstream.
04
Final balances need reminders
Payments often need to happen before event day without awkward manual chasing.
05
Contractors create payout work
Freelancers, assistants, and production partners need accurate payouts and records tied back to the job.
Workflow
From first inquiry to final balance, keep every event booking moving.
Maroo connects the operating steps around a paid event booking, so the client, contract, invoice, payment schedule, and contractor payout do not live in separate tools.
Connected workflow
Every accepted booking creates the next business action.
Define the persona, show the trigger, then show the next Maroo action.

Why Maroo
Where Maroo fits compared with other tools.
Before Maroo
Leads, invoices, contracts, and payout details live in separate tools.

Contractor records are disconnected from the booking.
With Maroo
Client, contract, invoice, schedule, and payout live in one record.
Payments are scheduled around the real event timeline.
Contractor payouts and records stay tied to the job.
Generic CRM

Useful for payments, but disconnected from the booking workflow.
Maroo
