Your website, powered by Venue Family.

Turn your existing website into an automated digital box office in under 60 seconds. Drop live schedules, ticket checkouts, rental spaces, and intake waivers directly onto your pages — with zero double data entry and zero monthly plugin fees.

How it works

From empty website to live box office, in four steps

1. Install the plugin

Install the free Venue Family plugin from WordPress.org or GitHub. Zero dependencies, lightweight, and ready in seconds.

2. Connect your slug

Enter your organization slug in Settings. Public events, calendars, and spaces connect automatically with zero API key hassle.

3. Drop blocks & widgets

Use 8 Gutenberg blocks, 5 Elementor widgets, or 11 shortcodes to design event cards, schedules, and ticket checkouts.

4. Keep 100% of the traffic

Patrons checkout right on your site. Purchases track in your Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, and GTM data layer automatically.

Your internal calendar IS your public website

Stop copying dates between spreadsheets, email threads, and WordPress custom post types. The moment a show, class, or workshop is approved in Venue Family, it instantly appears on your public calendar, event cards, and ticket checkout.

  • Real-Time Inventory: Remaining ticket counters and sold-out states update instantly across your entire site.
  • Intelligent Caching: 15-minute WordPress Transients caching ensures zero server lag, with instant admin cache invalidation.
  • Theme Overrides: Full developer freedom to override templates in your-theme/venue-family/*.php without touching core plugin code.

  • Filterable Space Grid: Filter by capacity, square footage, and available amenities.
  • Dynamic Inquiry Routing: Route inquiries to custom intake forms and liability waivers.
