YOUR HOST REPUTATION

Events Hosted

Reviews Left

Vendors Worked With

Hosts who leave reviews get faster responses from pros.

Host profiles are simpler than pro profiles — hosts don't need portfolios or service packages.
Event preferences power the recommendation engine: the platform suggests pros that match the host's typical events.
"Host Reputation" is subtle but important: pros can see how many events a host has organized and reviews they've left.
Hosts who actively review get priority in the inquiry queue — this gamifies the trust loop.
Location is used to default the "Find Pros" search area — less friction when searching.
