A two-sided marketplace that makes booking trusted event vendors stress-free.

Eventra is a digital event services marketplace designed to simplify how people discover, evaluate, and book trusted event vendors. The platform connects clients with event professionals such as photographers, DJs, decorators, caterers, planners, and other service providers — bringing the entire vendor discovery and booking experience into one place. The project started with extensive user research involving about 100 interviews with people across the event ecosystem. The research helped uncover the challenges clients face when searching for reliable vendors, as well as the difficulties vendors experience with visibility, customer acquisition, and consistent bookings. I designed the Eventra experience across the client and vendor journeys, including vendor discovery, profiles, enquiries, booking, payments, vendor wallet, and an admin dashboard for managing the marketplace.

The goal was to create a trusted, structured, and easy-to-use marketplace that makes event planning less stressful for clients while helping vendors get discovered and booked more consistently. The product experience was designed to simplify vendor discovery and make finding the right service easier; build trust through vendor information, ratings, reviews, and a structured booking process; make booking seamless from discovering a vendor to completing a transaction; give vendors more visibility and a reliable channel for attracting potential clients; and create a scalable marketplace experience that can support Eventra as the number of clients and vendors grows.
