Everything a venue needs to say yes

From first enquiry to the final function sheet — one tool, one data model, no double entry.

Timeline-first booking

A horizontal, Gantt-style timeline with spaces as rows and events as blocks. Built for staff booking on the phone with a client.

Client CRM

Companies, contacts and full event history in one place. Every booking is tied to the client who made it.

Function sheets → PDF & Word

Generate function sheets and proposals from one data model. Export polished PDF or editable .docx without leaving Lantern.

Task automation

Templates spin up tasks with deadlines relative to the event date, so nothing slips between enquiry and service.

Conflict detection

Double-booked spaces and over-sold room nights are caught the moment they happen — with a one-click ‘book anyway’ override.

Rooms & multi-day

Multi-day events, hotel room-type inventory and per-night conflict checks for weddings and conferences that run for days.

From enquiry to service in three moves

01

Start with the client

Find or create the contact, then open a new event against them — the relationship comes first.

02

Pick a template or build custom

Templates copy in slots, products and tasks scheduled around the event date. Or compose from scratch.

03

Send the paperwork

Generate the proposal, then the function sheet, straight from the booking. Consistent every time.
