Build a Event Planning App with Glide
A Glide-powered event planning app replaces the chaos of emails, shared spreadsheets, and sticky notes with a structured, mobile-first workspace where planners, clients, and vendors stay on the same page from concept to cleanup. GlideApps Agency has helped event planning businesses go from scattered workflows to scalable operations — typically in under six weeks.
GlideApps Agency builds production-ready Event Planning apps for enterprises and growth-stage companies — 350+ Glide apps delivered since 2019, with deep expertise in events & hospitality. Projects start at $15,000 with typical delivery in 4–8 weeks.
What does building a Event Planning app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Event Planning app
Event Concept & Brief Capture
Collect client vision, theme preferences, guest count estimates, dietary requirements, and budget parameters in a structured intake form that feeds directly into your planning workflow.
Timeline Builder
Build a day-of timeline with timed milestones, responsible parties, and setup notes that any team member can pull up on their phone during the event itself.
Client Collaboration Portal
Give clients a read-only view of their event progress, allowing them to approve proposals, review vendor selections, and track key milestones without needing access to your internal tools.
Budget Planning & Tracking
Enter estimated costs per category during planning and update with actual invoices as they arrive — the app calculates variance automatically so you always know where you stand against budget.
