Who can you share information and collaborate with on Hostology?

  • You  - It's your event, or you are planning it for someone!
  • Your Venue - They invite you to the platform and can see all details other than your private tasks, notes and guest contact info - unless you choose to share with them.
  • Your Suppliers - Can see your event details, any notes or documents you add to them as well
  • Your Guests - Can see the invitation you share, RSVP and update their dietary requirements and meal selection, view accommodation you assign to them or that is available at the venue, and see your gift list (have you set on up yet?).  Check out the guest welcome video here.
