EventPro vs UniVenue

EventPro combines venue booking, event planning and catering management in a configurable system for event professionals. Its tools include booking calendars, catering and beverage management, resource and staff management, CRM, attendee management, budgets, invoicing, reporting and floor plans. The EPConnect suite adds online bookings, event registrations, payments and related management tools. Its online payments module integrates with more than 135 payment gateways, including PayPal, Square, Stripe, Authorize.net and QuickBooks. An invoice export module supports accounting software including QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage 50, Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAP, Adept and Pastel. EventPro is available as on-premise software or as a cloud service. The on-premise edition is Windows-based and requires Windows 11 or newer and Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 or newer. EventPro Cloud works on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone and Android devices with internet access. A two-way API is available but requires a third-party or custom-developed program. Pricing depends on modules, users, rooms, training and organizational requirements, and is available on request.

UniVenue is web-based venue management software paired with a demand desk for university campuses. It helps campus teams find outside event organizers and manage bookings from inquiry and lead through quote, contract, payment, event-day notes, and reporting. The calendar handles multi-space and recurring events, with database-level protection against conflicts and double bookings. Clients can accept versioned quotes, sign contracts electronically, pay online, access documents, upload insurance certificates, and request changes in a portal. Contracts support multi-signer chains, countersignatures, and addenda. Payment tools include plans, deposits, refunds, and receipts. Reporting covers revenue, utilization, labor costs, pipeline metrics, KPIs, and CSV exports. UniVenue says it provides visibility across more than 25 rental sites, direct outreach to wedding planners, filmmakers, and businesses, an event website, market analysis, photography, and an operations team. Universities approve bookings, retain rental income, and prioritize their own programming. Pricing is on request.
