They have no way to run a report for taxes owed at the end of the quarter.

It is frustrating that you can't link the invoices to the budget.

I found this system very easy to use from a planner perspective.

The organization tools are great. Floor plan tools are easy to use.

We used planning pod and it worked great. I really like how they were always willing to take suggestions from their users.

The timeline feature and the ability to customize a few things. I enjoy the fact that my clients can collaborate with me on their events and manage their task lists on their own.

As a florist who specializes in weddings, this software actually offered more than I needed, but I would highly recommend it to any event planners in need of outstanding planning software.

Collaboration tools are great. Invoice and proposal tools are very useful.

The budget update is terrible. Not user friendly at all and is very confusing for me and my clients to see categories and line items.

The customer support at Planning Pod is always very responsive to any questions or issues that pop up.

At times, navigating the site to get from one section to another can be a little confusing. Some of the links are in the navigation, some of the links need to be found in pull-down lists.

The ability to organize items into different parts for the events (invoices, contacts, contracts) yet have them all interconnected and retrievable  is superb.

Great price, allows me to keep most everything in one place. I love the itinerary portion of the site my clients and vendors do too.

I really love how everything was in a single place. If your looking for a good, reliable wedding planning software, this is the one to choose.

Very easy to use platform with video tutorials. Great for organizing my client event details.

It's very slow to load contacts; searching for contacts is a pain; trying to attach vendors and other people involved in the event is clumsy. Searching for venue information is not easy or intuitive.

Customer support was also always very helpful whenever I needed help. They always responded that same day.

I like the ease of use, it is dummy proof. I like that my other professionals and cliens can also use it for certain events and I love the built in floor plan.

I like that the owners are always trying to make upgrades to the software and they seem to genuinely listen to customer feedback on what we want to see. It's well priced and easy to use.

I really like the itinerary feature and the invoicing feature. I liked the old budget tool a lot.

Easy to navigate; clear and easy to read emails to clients; proposals are easy to create; invoicing is easy to set and forget.

Perfect for event promotion and customizing your own styled website for your event! managing proposals and contracts.

We are so glad we stumbled upon this software when we did. I have used Dubsado, Honeybook, TripleSeat and done demos with a few others and none compare to Planning Pod.

Really great company to work with, they are a partner in our success.

I am greatly disappointed at how we have been treated by the team at Planning Pod.

It also helps communicate information to event attendees. Planning Pod offers a lot of powerful features without the high prices that come with a lot of other event management software options.

I like it, but it can use some more functionality and ease of use. Nevertheless, I will continue to use it and hope it improves with time.

When Planning Pod roll new thing out and there is no training.

Flexibility of PDF reports, on-screen reports, and customization. Also the calendar sync does not work properly, which makes it useless for scheduling appointments.

It is very user friendly and the onboarding was quick and easy.

The software is easy to navigate when you are trying something for the first time. The AMAZING tech support makes it that much better.

We are unable to have the minimum spend show up and have the food/beverage subtract from it. We have to manually find the remaining minimum which leaves the door open for a lot of mistakes.

I have been very pleased with the implementation, ease of learning and use of the system.

Changing pricing and updates are very easy and it is extremely user friendly. It works great for my whole team.

It is very user friendly and up to date. I love that you can customize it for your specific needs and looks.

It is really useful and has great features. The design of the documents (event orders, contracts, etc) is customizable and nice looking.

Would love to see ReServe interface with Social Tables.

The entire team at Reserve are great to work with and help you to solve any issues that arise.

Reserve was very understanding of our budgetary constraints in the initial year of our project and worked with us on a multi-year agreement that worked for both organizations.

The implementation and support teams have been absolutely fantastic in helping with our transition.

E-signature limited in functionality, no counter signing option. E-signature requires sending in two separate emails.

When moving from one platform to another there are many hurdles and obstacles a business faces such as loss of (previous event) data.

My rep has been wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and follow up has exceptional. I'm at ease knowing she is handling our accounts.

Please have the integration with Social Tables ASAP.

Limited billing functionality in Membership Module. Cannot create a regular event spanning multiple sites (operations gets confused using both Event Documents & Master Event Documents.

Since documents are only available through a pdf making individual changes for customers can be difficult.

The new cloud software is so friendly and productivity for me is great. I enjoy the customer service and they have always been informative and so cordial.

The customer support was great to work with. One of them was wonderful with the onboarding procedure.

Aside from the customer service, always quick to respond with any needs... love that it is accessible online and that it is so customizable.

Most of our issues with not being able to run an accurate projection report and an accurate costs report are solved with the reporting feature.

I find it quite easy to navigate. It has so many great features and after using it for a few months, I can't think of any that I would add.

I came on board here and Reserve was already being used, but no one was fluent with it.

Wonderful Catering and Event management software.

So I asked for some training and in under 2 hours, the representative was able to show me myriads of ways to capitalize on the fantastic functionality in Reserve.

Switching over from Reserve Anywhere to the cloud based version was wonderful. It is so easy to use and planning events takes minutes.

Transition from Desktop version was difficult for some of our staff, just wasn't what they were used too.

It's very easy to use and robust in features. Everyone at Reserve is a pleasure to work with and  they know catering and events better than anyone else.
