For Event Planners · Weddings · Private Parties

       

Independent planners and wedding coordinators run 50–150 events a year. Eight hours of sourcing per event is six weeks of your working year. ARTATVA collapses that to a brief and a shortlist — every act verified, every contract signed, every backup pre-assigned.

What event planners get

The full service. Without the agency markup.
20% vs 35–40%.

Traditional agencies charge 30–40% and keep you in the dark on who you're actually booking. ARTATVA shows you every verified profile, every compliance document, every fee band — and charges 20%.

Speed

Brief to confirmed in under five minutes

Describe the event, guest count, vibe, venue, and budget. Our engine returns a ranked shortlist with live availability locks — no 'I'll check their diary' loops.

Weddings

Ceremony, drinks, and reception — one brief

String quartet for the aisle, acoustic singer for the drinks hour, live band for the evening — brief them all in one form, receive matched acts for each slot.

Festivals

Multi-act programming

Running a boutique festival or private summer party? Submit a multi-slot brief — our engine matches acts to each time slot and flags schedule clashes.

Backup

Day-of cancellation handled

Every confirmed act has a pre-assigned backup at the same quality level. If the band texts you at 9am, the backup is live by 1pm. Your client never finds out.

Portfolio

Full act library in one place

String quartets, jazz trios, acoustic soloists, DJs, magicians, live painters — 15 disciplines on one verified roster. Stop keeping a spreadsheet of contacts.

Repeat bookings

Save favourites across events

Mark acts as favourites. Availability-check a saved act in one click. Re-book the string quartet from last wedding without re-briefing the whole thing.

What clients say

Reviewed by couples, party hosts, and event leads.

Kofi and the quartet were the heart of our 200-person summer event. Reading the room is real with this lot.

Best money I spent on the wedding. Ravinder mingled three hours with no breaks and the queue never stopped.

Common questions

What event planners ask us.

Can I manage multiple client bookings from one account?

Yes. The ARTATVA planner dashboard supports multiple concurrent bookings, client workspaces, and consolidated invoicing — all under one login.

What types of acts can I book?

Musicians, singers, DJs, dancers, visual artists, comedians, magicians, spoken-word poets, mindfulness practitioners, and workshop facilitators — 15 disciplines across the UK.

What if the band cancels two days before the wedding?

Every ARTATVA booking has a pre-assigned backup act. On confirmed cancellation, the backup is activated within 4 hours. Your client's day is protected.

Is there a referral or affiliate programme for planners?

Yes. Accredited planner partners receive a referral credit per confirmed booking. Contact us to register your agency.

Do I need to handle the contract with the artist directly?

No. ARTATVA generates, distributes, and stores the contract between client and artist. You receive a copy in your booking vault.
