Is it a fit?
Reunion isn't right for everyone — here's a quick gut check.
Probably a fit
Teams that want AI in the workflow, not just storage.
- Private event teams that want AI doing the busywork — not just storing it
- Venues that need SMS and email in one inbox, not bolted on
- Operators planning to invest in SEO, ads, or website work alongside their CRM
- Owners who'd rather avoid an annual commitment up front
Probably not a fit
Stick with Perfect Venue if any of these apply.
- Teams already happy with their Perfect Venue setup and processes
- Operations that don't see value in AI-assisted writing or SMS
- Venues that want a no-frills system without bundled marketing add-ons

Common questions
What is Perfect Venue and how does Reunion compare?
Perfect Venue is event management software focused on proposals and contracts. Reunion covers the same ground — proposals, BEOs, e-signatures, payments — and adds AI follow-ups, built-in SMS, a unified inbox (email + SMS in one thread), customer-selectable proposal add-ons, split-payment links, and an optional lead-gen team that runs your website, SEO, and ads.
Does Reunion have proposal and contract features like Perfect Venue?
Yes. Reunion generates branded proposals with itemized pricing, terms and conditions, and electronic signatures. Clients review and sign from a mobile-friendly page. Signed proposals are stored as PDFs on the event record, and customers can opt into add-ons (upsells) you've configured before signing.
Is Reunion cheaper than Perfect Venue?
Reunion starts at $99/month with a one-time $199 setup and no annual contract. Perfect Venue's published pricing varies by tier and add-ons, and tends to require a yearly commitment to hit the lowest rates. Reunion ships AI features on every tier; SMS and additional integrations are available on Pro and above.
Does Reunion have lead management?
Yes. Reunion has a full lead pipeline with embeddable inquiry forms, configurable form theming, lead-form routing rules, webhook integrations, automated lead notifications, and AI-powered auto-responses. Leads are tracked from first touch through booked event with full conversation history (email + SMS) on a single record.
Can clients pick their menu selections in Reunion?
Yes. Reunion has a built-in menu selection feature — send clients a link where they choose appetizers, entrees, and desserts from your curated options. Their selections flow directly into the BEO, eliminating back-and-forth emails.
Does Reunion integrate with my existing tools?
Reunion integrates with Stripe and GoTab for payments, supports webhooks for lead capture from any form tool, and ships native integrations with PodPlay and CourtReserve for entertainment venues. Inbound and outbound email integration with Resend keeps every thread on the event record.
What AI features does Reunion have that Perfect Venue doesn't?
Reunion AI handles automated lead auto-replies, AI-powered BEO and proposal generation, smart follow-ups (with business-hour aware response metrics), an AI task engine that creates to-dos based on event status changes, and voice dictation for BEOs. The system uses real event context — date, party size, menu interest — so messages don't feel templated.
Does Reunion offer lead generation services?
Yes — Reunion Digital Growth is our optional done-for-you lead-gen service. We design and host your venue website, manage your SEO and AI answer-engine visibility, and run your Google Ads, with every booked event attributed back to revenue in your dashboard. Clients can pick one pillar or all three. See /lead-gen.
Can I track staff and labor costs?
Yes. Assign staff to events, set hourly rates, track shifts, and calculate labor costs. The Pro plan adds FOH earnings tracking and smart gratuity distribution. The GM module provides daily labor cost analysis.
How does Reunion handle deposits and payments?
Reunion uses Stripe Connect for direct payment processing. Generate payment pages for deposits, save cards on file for scheduled charges, send automatic payment reminders, and offer split-payment links so a balance can be paid across multiple cards. Clients pay via credit card, ACH, or Apple Pay.
Is it hard to switch from Perfect Venue to Reunion?
Not at all. Most venues set up Reunion in under an hour. While there's no one-click import from Perfect Venue, our team helps migrate your event data during onboarding. You can run both platforms side by side during the transition.
