Who we are

We are a team of event planners. To extend our mission, we have created an online platform for planners and vendors to connect and encourage each other. Our website address is: https://plannersfete.com. The development team behind this website is Willhouse and can be found at https://willhousecreative.com.

What is this platform

Our platform is for engaged and supportive connections. Our aim is to transform the way you can connect and communicate with your community. While we do adhere social-media style interface (this website is built with WordPress and BuddyPress) Planners Fête adds tools that help the collective as a whole stay organized around common goals.

How We Help You Achieve Your Goals

At Planners Fête we are all friends and every member is supportive of the collective. This creates unique and distinctive ways to connect and communicate.

For certain types of Activity you can opt to receive notifications to your email account. You can opt out or change your settings at any time. Engaging with that Member is as easy as logging in and starting a conversation.

Planners Fête Conversations

Conversations allow Members to talk to each other as a collective (group messaging) or in private (private messaging).

When visitors have conversations on the site we collect the data shown in the conversation form.
