Good but Needs Improvement **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** I like how easy it is to create new events and upload the information. I also like the use of it as an app. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** There are a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. Some times the app takes extremely long to load. That can be quite challenging when the event coordinator is on the go and the event details need to be updated. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps me stay on track with multiple events. Details are brought about to other similar events and I take the prior event details in consideration. Serves as a way to improve planning from one event to the next. ### 3. TedX Conference Made Smooth by Planner **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sadaf R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2018 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** Easy to coordinate, post on social media, fast, no lagging despite high volume of graphics **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** Not very many manuals/instructions so had to contact IT to clarify **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** Made advertising and planning event easy with 150+ attendees to UofT conference, much better than Facebook or EventBrite in selling tickets too ### 4. Flexible, responsive, innovative **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Trish S. | Director of Communications and Conference Administration, Higher Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** Grenadine's responsiveness and customer support are top notch. They are always available to help me solve any problems I might encounter and are willing to consider, develop, and implement new solutions. I appreciate the fact that my conference attendees have nothing but good things to say about the mobile app and that the number of people using the app has grown over the past two years. It is easy to learn, easy to implement, and easy to use. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** I don't really dislike anything about Grenadine. Initially Grenadine was intended as a temporary solution but once we put it in place and found that it was intuitive enough for our users to understand, we elected to keep it. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** The best feature of Grenadine is the staff. Every time I have had a problem, a question, or a suggestion I have received a response in no more than a day. They are constantly refactoring the software, looking for ways to improve and enhance what is already a great product. The other feature I appreciate is that there are no expensive, exclusive contracts. We have had a number of bad experiences in signing multi-year contracts with vendors whose software than promised the world but couldn't deliver. Grenadine is not like that. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** We host a conference annually for over 2000 honors students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Our conference is composed of 700 or more different presentations and Grenadine allows us to easily map out our schedule and allows our attendees to set up an individual, customized schedule. We have found that approximately 45% of our attendees use Grenadine as their primary source of information about the conference both prior to the event and on site. It provides the most up to date information about what is going on daily and hourly. Because of the overwhelmingly positive response to the mobile app, we plan to cut the number of programs we print by half which will result in a significant cost savings. ### 5. Grenadine is a sweet way to plan events **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katherine B. | Paraplanner, Financial Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** Grenadine Event Planner's customer service is literally the best I've ever experienced, whether by email or phone. They are prompt, helpful, and have always taken suggestions for areas in which their service might be lacking. I am new to planning conventions and purchased Grenadine purely for its ticket-selling capabilities-- I had no idea how many other options it came with! While not as comprehensive as it could be, they are constantly adding new features, and helpful ones at that. Not to mention, their prices are eminently reasonable. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** It's not the most intuitive program, you have to spend a lot of time poking around to get the feel of it. The help section is lacking, so while their customer service is amazing, I find myself frustrated that I have to utilize it instead of an easy-to-use and comprehensive FAQ list or similar. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ticket-selling was always the primary reason to use Grenadine Event Planner, and the subsequent organization capabilities are awesome time-savers. ### 6. Fantastic solution for a complex event. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick M. | Business Development, Maritime, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** Made the complex process of putting together a 5000 attendee event with 200+ items much simpler. Allowed us to automate surveys which gave us a lot more information about our panellists interests and abilities. Made managing communications very much simpler. Creating the programme output in all the different formats we needed was very much simpler - for the website, for paper brochures, for panelist information. We had a team of several people working on it from different locations and it was very supportive of distributive working. The single strongest point was the fantastic support from the company. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** There isn't really anything I disliked about Grenadine. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** Take the time to learn the system, start with small and simple events and build up. It has the ability to handle very large events and large number of speakers in a smooth and integrated fashion. It only needs a few hours to become familiar but spend the time on it. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our events are typically quite complex, and were gradually outstripped our ability to manage them. Implementing Grenadine was a perfect solution and I think will allow us to be more innovative in our ideas now we're not spending all our time wrestling with the basic administrative alligators. ### 7. Great for Academic Conferences & Conventions **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason W. | Professor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** As a whole, I found the platform very easy to navigate. I was running an academic convention that had around 800 attendees. Previous planner had put the program together by hand. When I started the program planning process, I started investigating electronic platforms that could be used to make my life easier. I liked my experience so much that I encouraged the next planner and planners for other associations to use Grenadine because it really makes planning a lot faster and easier. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** I wish there was a better way to export the conference material from the online system into a printed program version. I had both the e-version of the program through Grenadine and what would be the print copy version going on at the same time. Keeping both of them in-sync really took a lot of time. I wish I could have just exported the full program and then reformatted after the fact. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** As a whole, I really like the program. I definitely think it's worth the investment. Not only does it make planning quick and easy, it also enables you to ensure that people are not double booked in the same time slots, which is what often takes the most time as a planner. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was running a good sized convention. As a full time academic (and department chair) running a convention, I needed a tool that was going to make my life easier during the planning process. Grenadine definitely met my expectations. ### 8. Convention planning used to be difficult. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fred K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** I really like how the guest/participant and panel program data is exportable in JSON format for redistributing on our website. I also like the ease of use, and the grouping of like tasks. The programmers at Grenadine, and Henry Balen especially, have been very responsive to all inquiries. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** I really have found nothing to dislike. I would like the addition of PayPal as a payment gateway. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** No need to look any further as this product delivers all the essentials in planning an event. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** Inviting and sending surveys to potential guests/panelists is a breeze with Grenadine. The panel scheduling has become an enjoyable experience now. ### 9. Great product, and wonderful support. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Religious Institutions | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2017 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** It has a simple yet powerful interface for managing all of the details of running a convention, and it automatically creates a website and app! **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** Sometimes an action will require a few extra (unexpected) steps. Although, the reasoning behind it is clear, and if there were a better solution, I'm sure they would have implemented it. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** Reach out to their support team if you have any questions. They are very responsive and helpful! **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** How do we handle the planning of our convention in a way that is maximized efficiency and minimizes duplicated efforts and errors? This platform meets all of our needs and more. ### 10. Grenadine Transformed Took Our Convention To the Next Level **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erin U. | Writer, Screenwriter, Writing and Editing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2015 **What do you like best about Grenadine Event Planner?** Grenadine is so easy to use. I've used it for several years now, and I have trained a dozen people on how to use the system. I have never had anyone complain about how the system works. When I have found a glitch, I reported it and received immediate assistance on how to resolve my problem or an update on when a fix would be implemented. While this kind of response can't always be expected, I have always received the best customer service. **What do you dislike about Grenadine Event Planner?** There really isn't anything that I "dislike" with this system. However, I do wish that the scheduling grid's click and drag movement was scrolling based. **Recommendations to others considering Grenadine Event Planner:** Play around with the system a little before scheduling and sending surveys. It's easy to use, but (like any new system) you will work more efficiently if you have spent some time trying things out before you need to kick into high gear. **What problems is Grenadine Event Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?** We host a complex multi-day convention that happens annually and has many, many moving parts. Grenadine has simplified our scheduling process, eliminating costly and time-intensive manual labor associated with scheduling, proofing, revising, and promoting our event. Because our program participants often have different needs, Grenadine allows us to use different survey forms and email templates that are targeted to the unique needs for each segment of our population. While we still enjoy meeting in person to brainstorm program ideas, we have found that we can do 100% of our program design and implementation remotely. Grenadine has transformed our ability to effectively and efficiently produce a professional convention. ## Grenadine Event Planner Discussions - [What is Grenadine Event Planner used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-grenadine-event-planner-used-for) - [View Grenadine Event Planner pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/grenadine-event-planner/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-30+02%3A43%3A41+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=6eafa707-6092-44e3-8810-13048fe14264&secure%5Btoken%5D=eb0041072f903dfb704b33f05fb407b10c7cf2d4ffedea6869887a4b16ff4764&format=llm_user) ## Grenadine Event Planner Features **Registration** - Event creation - User registration process - Payment processing - Mobile check-in - On-site tickets and registration **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Agentic AI - Mobile Event Apps** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Agentic AI - Event Planning** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Decision Making **Marketing and Communications** - Event website creation - Email automation - Email customization - Contact list management - Social media promotion - Lead generation and retrieval **Agentic AI - Event Registration & Ticketing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Event Operations** - Site selection - Supplier procurement - Hotel and transportation planning - Staff management - Budget management - Session scheduling - Speaker submissions - Exhibition management **Attendee Engagement** - Event agendas and schedules - Floor plans / maps - Social media integrations - Attendee networking - Attendee surveys **Platform** - Performance and reliability - Reporting and dashboards - API / integrations - Multiple event management **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Agentic AI - Event Management Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration ## Top Grenadine Event Planner Alternatives - [Eventbrite](https://www.g2.com/products/eventbrite/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (908 reviews) - [Splash](https://www.g2.com/products/splash/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (358 reviews) - [Cvent Event Marketing & Management](https://www.g2.com/products/cvent-event-marketing-management/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (2,075 reviews)
