Great Events Plugin & Exceptional Support
We’ve been using Event Genius for a fairly involved event registration setup, including multiple attendee types and family registrations, and I’ve been very impressed with both the plugin and the support behind it. Whenever I’ve had questions, support has been quick to respond and genuinely helpful. One issue involved configuring additional attendee fields so that only the primary registrant needed to provide an email address. They quickly pointed me to the right setting and got me moving again. I also reported a couple of usability issues during testing involving attendee names not updating clearly in the registration cards and an email validation message that could appear while an address was still being entered. What impressed me most was that they didn’t just explain the behavior or offer a workaround. They took the feedback seriously, made improvements to the plugin, and released an update within a few days. After installing the update, both issues were resolved. The attendee cards now update in real time, and the email validation works much more smoothly. That kind of support is hard to find. It’s clear that Event Genius is actively maintained and that feedback from users is actually being listened to and acted on. The plugin has given us the flexibility we needed for our event registration process, and the support has made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended.

Event Genius does what it says and then some!
Prior to choosing Event Genius, it downloaded and tried multiple event management plugins. While most gave the bare of minimum features for free, Event Genius gives a full featured management tool. Support is Outstanding! While on the free plan, I had some issues trying to configure the plugin to support a reservation feature. The support team responded within one day with specific instructions on how to implement what I needed. I have since moved to the Standard version which includes EVERYTHING I need to manage my events including Payment and Attendance Tracking. Support from the Event Genius team continues to be great as I've worked thru implementation of the advanced features.

BEST calendar event plugin with outstanding support!
I just discovered this plugin and love it so much more then the others I tested. It's super easy to learn and use and performs flawlessly. I wanted a few customizations and Phillip provided amazing support. His response time is fast and updates were simple to implement. Thank you so much!

Can't accept payments
You can't accept payments for events unless you get the premium version, what an absolute joke. Doesn't integrate with woocommerce either, uses its own integration, complete idiocy.

This is such a great plugin, and I can't reiterate enough how outstanding, fast and friendly the support is!!! Suggestions/questions I've made have even been taken into account and quickly implemented when possible.
