Pro tip
For special events or occasions, make use of the Payment Functionality to charge guests a deposit or full payment in advance for a set menu or entrance.
Take your event one step further and set up a Ticketed Event and your guests will receive a PDF ticket for the event once they have made payment. You can even customise the ticket completely with text and an image!
