This platform Event4you is for event organisers on one end and event service providers on the other. It is a web-based app designed to run on any device.
Our goal is to provide our registered users an interactive interface where they can either login as an event organiser(USER) or as a service provider.
Event organisers will be able to look for the required services for their upcoming events. You can compare prices in the nearby and book the correct service for their events.
