    It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space

    • Scaling - I love that you can scale a layout in the program, and it tends to be pretty spot on. For example, we could have 20 different measurements for a street, once we type in a single measurement the rest auto fills (and is REALLY close to accurate).
    • Uploading - I love that you can upload images and mark all over them. Particularly, you can upload google earth images for outside festivals, and scale them accordingly.
    • Creating - In the program you can create a diagram based on the size of the room. For example, if you know you have a 40x80 tent, you can make a custom layout and build the whole thing.
    • Setup Templates - These templates make it easy for you to auto fill an entire room with rounds, rectangles or other formations without having to fill them all in individually.

    • A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner.

    Cvent Diagramming really does cover the bases for us. It's an easy to use program that anyone can figure out. It's got collaboration features so we can share with clients and they can make their own edits. Venues can send us there floorplans and send directly to us for edits. Overall: their templates, table numbering feature, measuring, scaling and shape/object tools make building floorplans easy

    The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.

    It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to vendors as well

    Bookinglayer Screenshots

    Screenshot of The Booking Engine can be fully customized to suit not only the customer's decision-making process but also the look and feel of the website. This way, the booking page integrates with the current customer journey.Screenshot of The Customer Portal empowers guests to manage their bookings independently. Guests can be allowed to schedule sessions, exchange activities, provide transfer details, sign digital waivers, and check in online, all without messaging back and forth with internal teams.Screenshot of The Booking Widget is an Advanced Feature used to display fixed-date trips directly on a website. From there, guests can view what trips still have availability, or they can join a waiting list for dates that are already full.Screenshot of The Backoffice is used to view and manage bookings. With up to 10 different User Roles, team members have access to select parts of the Backoffice. This way, everyone from coaches to cleaning staff has access to the information they need to work efficiently, but not other sensitive booking details.Screenshot of the Inquiry Form, which is an Advanced Feature that can help collect and organize bespoke requests that require more of a conversation before confirmation. Inquiries will come directly into the Backoffice, where they can later be changed to a confirmed booking.
