Event planner template for guests, budget, seating and the day's run of show.

A free template gets you a blank grid you still have to build — formulas for the budget, a layout for the seating chart, a separate document for the run of show. Event-planning software like HoneyBook or Aisle Planner does more of that for you, for a monthly fee that keeps billing long after the event is over. OwnDesk Event sits in between: guest list with RSVPs, a seating plan with a live waiting list, vendor budget vs actual, printable proposals and a minute-by-minute run of show, all in one file, for one payment.

Free templates exist for one piece at a time — a guest list here, a budget sheet there — and you are the one building the formulas and keeping them from breaking. OwnDesk Event is a single one-time payment of $149.00 Original price was: $149.00.$49.00Current price is: $49.00. instead of the hours it takes to assemble and maintain that yourself across a spreadsheet, a seating diagram and a separate timeline document.

Yes, and it is built into the same file as everything else. The Budget module tracks what each vendor quoted, what you have paid and what is still owed, rolled into a running total by category and vendor line, so you are not rebuilding a budget spreadsheet's formulas from scratch for every event you plan.

No — it is one HTML file that opens in any browser rather than a spreadsheet, and it does not export to Excel or CSV. It exists for the same reason a spreadsheet template does, though: the guest list, seating plan, vendor budget and run of show are already built, so you are filling in fields instead of writing formulas or fixing a cell someone broke.

It includes a printable proposal and quote for each client — itemized services, deposit terms and a signature line — but that is not a lawyer-drafted contract. Pair it with your own client or vendor contract; the proposal in OwnDesk Event is built to sit alongside it, not replace it.

Not on the same live file — like a spreadsheet, each copy keeps its own data on its own computer and moves between people as a file you send. For one planner running the show that is normal; if you need several people editing the same event at once, this is not the right fit and we would rather tell you that upfront.

Yes. Everything is saved to that browser's local storage, so it keeps working with no connection at all once you have downloaded it. Nothing to sync, nothing that needs a server to load.

Any modern desktop browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox — on Windows or Mac. It is built for a laptop or desktop screen rather than a phone, with nothing to install and no account to create.

Yes. I can adapt OwnDesk Event to the way your events business works: your own fields, your run sheets, your reports, or two OwnDesk products combined into one. It stays a one-time payment, it still runs offline, and it is yours, built by the same person who made the software. Tell me about your business and I will tell you what it would take.
