At Planit Events Inc., we believe, actually we know, great events start with organization. Behind every seamless wedding, corporate gala, or community festival is a toolkit of resources that keep the details in check and the creativity flowing. Over the years, I’ve tested countless platforms, but there are four that I keep coming back to. Each plays a unique role in bringing events from vision to reality.

1. Motion – Project Management Made Simple

Event planning involves juggling a thousand moving parts: timelines, vendors, client requests, and endless to-do lists. Motion is my go-to project management tool because it helps streamline all of that chaos into clear, actionable steps.

What I love most about Motion is how it automatically prioritizes tasks and schedules them into my day. No more stressing over what to tackle first. It keeps me focused and on track. Whether it’s tracking venue deadlines or building out a detailed event timeline, Motion ensures nothing slips through the cracks.

Another feature I rely on is the ability to assign tasks to team members. This keeps everyone accountable, aligned, and aware of their responsibilities, which is key when managing multiple vendors, clients, and staff at the same time.

2. PheedLoop – Powering Virtual and Hybrid Events

For conferences, tradeshows, or events that need a digital component, PheedLoop is a game-changer. It’s a robust platform designed for virtual and hybrid experiences, and it shines when it comes to features like live streaming, attendee engagement, exhibitor booths, and analytics.

What makes PheedLoop stand out is how customizable it is. Each event feels unique rather than “one-size-fits-all,” and attendees get a smooth, professional experience. With hybrid events continuing to grow, this tool has become essential for offering flexibility and reaching wider audiences.

3. Jotform – Streamline Registrations and Surveys

Every planner knows how much time is spent gathering information. Whether it’s RSVPs, vendor forms, or post-event feedback, Jotform makes this process quick and easy with customizable forms that look professional and are simple for guests to use.

I rely on Jotform for event registrations but there are so many other uses such as dietary requirement forms, and even fun surveys to boost engagement. It integrates seamlessly with other platforms too, making data collection and organization a breeze.

4. Mailchimp – Email Marketing That Works

Communication is key when it comes to events, and Mailchimp is one of my favourite tools for staying connected with clients, vendors, and attendees. Its user-friendly templates and automation features make it easy to send everything from “Save the Dates” to detailed event reminders.

I especially appreciate the analytics Mailchimp provides—open rates, click-throughs, and engagement stats. This helps refine messaging and ensures the right information is reaching the right people at the right time.
