You can book a service provider two ways:
a. Create an event. Once the venue is secure, you can then request services to add to your event.
b. Hire a provider. This allows you to book a provider for a specific opportunity independent of an organized event.
TIP: A unique ID number alongside the service provider’s name will help identify different packages by the same providers
TIP: When you Hire a provider, the service request will appear on your My Account dashboard. It will appear like the event listings.
