Local event organizers and individuals face difficulties in efficiently searching, booking, and communicating with a wide array of vendors and venues. The existing process lacks an integrated, user-friendly mobile solution offering detailed vendor profiles, real-time communication, location-based search, and personalized recommendations, leading to fragmented information access and suboptimal planning experiences.
