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 ship.
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 your own connected account. 3rdPlace never holds funds.
Can I start with an event that is already on the calendar?
Yes. Describe the event, current holds, budget, expected guests, and any signed terms. The agent starts from what is already true.
What happens after the event closes?
3rdPlace records margin, refunds, Community Host Incentives, vendor payments, and the pieces worth repeating next time.
