Session-based entry (VIP hour vs general) breaks ticket tools built for one door time.
Use case
Beer festivals, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, tasting sessions and VIP hours, applications from breweries and pourers, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for beer festivals, brew fests, and tap takeovers from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Beer festivals, brew fests, and tap takeovers.
Instead of sending attendees, vendors, sponsors, and staff through separate tools, every workflow stays attached to the same event record - so nothing falls through the cracks between your form tool, your ticket link, and your spreadsheet.
- Publish a branded event site
- Sell tasting sessions and VIP hours
- Collect applications from breweries and pourers
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Breweries and pourers apply in one tool while payments happen in another.
Booth assignments get redrawn in a spreadsheet nobody else can see.
Event-day staff work from printed lists that were stale before doors opened.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can breweries and pourers apply and pay online?
Yes. Breweries and pourers fill out a structured application with your custom questions, and once approved they can pay booth or table fees through Stripe checkout - or you can record manual payments like cash and checks.
Does VendlyNest sell tasting sessions and VIP hours too?
Yes - tickets, booths, sponsor packages, and add-ons all live in one commerce layer with capacity limits, sold-out protection, receipts, and QR passes.
Do we need a separate website builder?
No. Every event gets a multi-page microsite with themes, drag-and-drop content blocks, vendor and guest directories, and optional custom domains.
