Abstract: Organizing events traditionally requires the fragmented coordination of disparate services, including venue selection, catering, décor, and specialized offerings like entertainment or traditional mehendi. This manual process is often inefficient, time-consuming, and lacks transparency. Festivo is an integrated web-based platform engineered to centralize the event management lifecycle through a unified, “one-stop” digital ecosystem. By utilizing a modern full-stack architecture, Festivo provides an interactive interface where users can explore categorized event themes, compare verified service providers, and manage real-time availability for instant reservations. The platform streamlines the workflow through advanced search filters, secure booking mechanisms, and a centralized vendor communication hub. By digitizing the coordination between clients and service professionals, Festivo eliminates logistical complexity and enhances planning accuracy. This smart solution offers a transparent and elegant experience, making high-quality event planning faster and more accessible for various celebrations, from corporate gatherings to traditional ceremonies.
Keywords: Event Planning, Service Booking, Integrated Platform, Vendor Management, Real-time Availability.
