Who it's for
Built for hosts who run events on repeat.
Founder dinners. Supper clubs. Salon nights. Monthly mixers. Recurring tasting events. If your calendar has the same format on it again next month, 3rdPlace compounds. The agent remembers your venues, your vendors, your margins, and starts the next event with everything it already knows.

How it runs01 02 03
Three moves. Every event.
Approve
You see every move before it ships. Holds, deposits, contracts, vendor dispatch: nothing moves until you authorize it.
Settle
After the event, 3rdPlace closes the books. Refunds reviewed, Community Host Incentives reconciled, margin recorded, next event pre-loaded.
What ships in the box
The operations work, handled.
Venue holds, locked in writing
The agent reaches your shortlist, negotiates terms, and locks holds with deposit windows you can authorize in one click.
Vendors dispatched on your terms
Photo, catering, bar, AV, DJ. The agent finds the right vendor for the budget, sends the brief, and gets the quote signed off. Your approval required at every step.
Money settled, cents-accurate
Deposits collected, vendor payments routed through Stripe Connect, refunds handled, Community Host Incentives reconciled. Every dollar tagged to an event.
Margin on every event
A real P&L per event the moment it closes. Know which formats actually paid, which ones leaked, and which ones to run again.
From the calendar
“I used to spend a full day chasing vendors and reconciling receipts after every dinner. Now I run the next one before the last one is fully settled, and I actually know what I made.”

Common questionsRead the full FAQ ->
Clear answers. No fine print.
Does the agent ever book or pay without me?
No. Every booking, every payment, every contract waits on your approval. The agent proposes; you approve.
What if my venue or vendor isn't on the platform?
Add them. The agent learns your roster and uses it first on future events.
Where does the money actually move?
Through Stripe Connect. Venues, vendors, and you each have their own connected account. 3rdPlace never holds funds.
Your next event is already on the calendar.
Describe it. The agent lays out the run, locks the holds, and waits for your green light.
