Project Overview:

The Event Vendor Booking Portal is a full-stack web application that connects event organizers (users) with service vendors such as caterers, decorators, photographers, DJs, venues, and entertainers. It provides a centralized digital platform for discovering, comparing, and booking vendors for various occasions like weddings, parties, corporate events, and cultural programs.

Vendors can register on the platform, create detailed service profiles, manage their availability calendar, and receive bookings. Users can explore vendor profiles, check pricing and service packages, read reviews, and make secure bookings with online payments.
