Travel, parking and places to stay

Add places to stay and travel details, such as shuttles and parking, to your guest page. You can also ask guests who are coming whether they need a room; you book the rooms yourself.

Recommend places to stay

  1. Open Invitation, then Guest side, then Guest experience, then Places to stay.
  2. Press New place. Add the name and, if you like, a description, the address, a Booking link, the Distance from the venue and a Discount code.

Guests see each place with a Book a room button for your booking link. Tapping an address opens it in the guest's maps app.

Ask who needs a room

In Places to stay, turn on Room requests. You can add a Note to guests, for example to say that you will arrange the rooms.

Guests who have said they are coming then see Need a room? in the places to stay section. They tell you how many people need a bed (no more than are on their reply), whether a cot is needed, their dates and a note. They can change or withdraw the request later.

  • Requests appear on the same page, with the number of guests, beds and cots.
  • Copy list copies the list as text.
  • Export all responses opens Back up & restore, where the event owner can email themselves an Excel file with every reply (paid subscription).

Transfers and parking

In Guest experience, open Transfers and parking and add an entry for each shuttle, train or car park: a Title and Details, and if you like a Time and a Departure point. Guests see them under Transfers, and a departure point opens in their maps app.

Your venue's address on the invitation also opens in the guest's maps app; there is no map on the page itself.

For a shuttle with a limited number of seats, use a programme part with a place limit for each trip. To simply ask who needs transport, add a question to your reply form; see Your questions on the reply form.

Frequently asked questions

Can Vowly book hotel rooms for our guests?

No. You add the places and their booking links, and guests book themselves, or you book rooms from the list of requests.

Why can a guest not see the room request?

They need to reply that they are coming first, and Places to stay must be visible to them under Online invitation visibility.

Can I see who needs a room for which nights?

Yes. Each request shows the guest's name, the number of people, a cot if needed, the dates and their note.
