Vendors
Manage your event vendors in one place
Event vendor management software with a reusable vendor database, vendors attached to each event and function, costs and payouts tracked against them, and a rating you can look up next time.
The vendor you used in March is the one you’re trying to remember in October.
Most event businesses rebuild their vendor list from memory and old WhatsApp threads every time a new event needs one. Lighter keeps a reusable vendor database costs, payouts and how they performed last time so the sixth event you run this year benefits from what the first five taught you, instead of starting from zero again.
A vendor database you build once
Event vendor management usually means someone’s phone contacts and a WhatsApp search. Here vendors are records you build once and reuse on every event after that with contact details, category and history.
Attached to the event that used them
A vendor on an event is a relationship, not a note. What they were booked for, on which function, and what it cost.
Costs and payouts against the vendor
Expenses record against the vendor and the event together, so "what did we spend with this decorator this year" and "what did this wedding cost us" are both answerable from the same data.
Rate them while you remember
A vendor can be rated after the event. Six months later, when the same name comes up for a bigger wedding, the rating is there instead of a vague feeling.
Vendors you are still considering
Potential vendors are kept separately from the ones you actually work with, so a shortlist for one event does not silently become your vendor list.
Who can see what a vendor was paid
Vendor costs are the numbers you least want on the wrong screen. Access is by role and enforced on the server: production and accounts see costs, sales does not.
