For venue providers
Your space, booked properly
Open Venus is two things at once: a marketplace that sends you matched event briefs, and the system that runs the booking after it — quote, deposit, confirmation, calendar. Start free and pay only when we bring you business.

Why providers run on Open Venus
Briefs, not window shoppers
Planners tell us the date, guest count and requirements first. You only see briefs your space can actually host.
Quotes that win work
Build itemised quotes in Maloti with deposit percentage and validity dates, then share by link, WhatsApp or email.
Deposits you can trust
Customers upload proof of payment, you approve it, and only then is the booking confirmed and the date locked.
One calendar, no clashes
Confirmed bookings, tentative holds and blocked dates in one view, so the same date is never sold twice.
From brief to booked
Explore
A planner describes their event and we match it to your space.
Orbit
They request a quote. You price it, negotiate and send it back.
Landed
They accept, pay the deposit, you approve it and the date is yours.

Questions providers ask
What does the 10% apply to?
Only confirmed bookings that Open Venus sends you. Bookings you bring from your own channels are never charged commission.
Is there anything to pay upfront?
No. Listing is free and commission is only tracked once a marketplace booking is confirmed.
What do I need to publish a space?
Name and location, capacity range, an indicative starting price, the event types you host, your facilities and at least one good photo.
How do customers pay me?
You add your EFT details once and they appear on the booking. Payments land in your account and you confirm them here.
