A live budget, not a spreadsheet
Start with a number, style and guest count. The system breaks it down realistically by category, flags expensive areas, suggests savings, and updates live every time you add a vendor.
ProductionBook organizes your entire event for you - from first inspiration to event day. Live budget, vendors that actually fit, proposals, contracts, menus, music and operations - all in one place. Powered by Hitbook Inc. - the same system your vendors work in.
Not another vendor index. A complete system for planning a private event - that builds you a real plan, by budget, style and date.
Start with a number, style and guest count. The system breaks it down realistically by category, flags expensive areas, suggests savings, and updates live every time you add a vendor.
Not "whoever pays the most". By budget, style, region, availability, experience, portfolio, reviews, and which vendors are already on your event. If sponsored placement ever appears, it will be marked separately.
Closing a vendor = a proper quote, a digital contract to sign, a payment schedule with deposits, and approvals - all managed on your side and on the vendor side too (in their Hitbook Studio).
For the DJ - playlists by event stage, chuppah, entrance, first dance, Must Play / Do Not Play. For the venue - a menu with photos, tastings, BEO. All in one click, no more "don't forget the song at 1:12".
Save inspirations (images, links, styles), and in one click the system turns them into a real plan: which vendors you need, how much it costs, and how it fits your budget.
Timeline, vendor crews, last-minute approvals, chuppah and entrance notes - synced between both sides. You see an event plan. The vendor sees an operations brief.
ProductionBook is the side facing your clients. Your vendors work in Hitbook Studio - a full business management system. Same backend, same data, two ends of the same process. Read more about the sync
Under 5 minutes. You answer a few questions in the Wizard (event type, budget, style, target date, region, guest count) and the system produces an initial plan with budget breakdown and vendor suggestions.
Yes. Add the vendors you have already booked, and ProductionBook continues from there - it takes your budget, deducts what you have already paid, and suggests what is still missing.
Most indexes end the moment you get a phone number. ProductionBook continues: quote, digital contract, payments, menus, music, approvals and operations. It works because your vendor uses Hitbook Studio from the same company - same data, two ends.
Yes. ProductionBook is free for couples. The company is funded by vendors - monthly Pro subscription and a platform fee charged only on digital signatures inside the system.
Matching is based on budget, style, region, availability, experience, portfolio, reviews and fit with the venue and vendors already chosen. Any future sponsored placement will be clearly marked separately from organic matching.
Add them to the event. If they are already on Hitbook - sync works from minute one. If not - invite them and they can join for free and get your event as their first project on the system.
In 5 minutes you have an initial event plan. Continue from there at your own pace.
