Who this template is for

Event Vendor Booking Form is built for event organisers, venues and community teams who need to collect registrations, dietary needs and ticket choices in one pass.

  • Event organisers, venues and community teams working in registration & events.
  • Teams who need to collect registrations, dietary needs and ticket choices in one pass without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing headcounts that change hourly and no single attendee list with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are attendees, guests and speakers — the form asks them 15 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of headcounts that change hourly and no single attendee list and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Public liability insurance in place?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Insurance certificate”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Public liability insurance in place?” is Yes, “Insurance certificate” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Power or water needed?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Requirements detail”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Power or water needed?” is Yes, “Requirements detail” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Booking a vendor is a different job from choosing one, because the details that go wrong on the day are almost never about talent or price but about arrival times, power and paperwork. Page one confirms who the vendor is and what service they provide, then asks directly whether public liability insurance is in place, since this single answer decides whether the vendor can legally operate on most venue floors. Answering yes opens a request for the certificate itself, so the planner holds proof rather than a verbal assurance. Page two turns to the operational detail that a run sheet actually needs: arrival time, setup window, and whether power or water is required. Confirming a power or water need opens a longer requirements field, because a generic yes tells an operations team nothing about cable runs or tap access. Fee and terms sit at the very end, deliberately after the logistics, so agreement is reached on what is being delivered before either side confirms what it costs.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 4 conditional rules, grouped into 4 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Public liability insurance in place?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Public liability insurance in place?” is Yes, the form reveals “Insurance certificate”.

  • Makes answers required

    If “Public liability insurance in place?” is Yes, “Insurance certificate” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Power or water needed?

  • Reveals questions

    If “Power or water needed?” is Yes, the form reveals “Requirements detail”.

  • Makes answers required

    If “Power or water needed?” is Yes, “Requirements detail” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Collect the insurance certificate, not just a yes

    A verbal confirmation is worthless if the venue asks for proof on the day.

  2. 2

    Ask for cable and tap detail, not a general yes

    Power or water requirements only help operations when they specify location and load.

  3. 3

    Agree arrival windows against the venue's own access times

    A vendor arriving before the venue opens its doors causes delays for everyone booked that day.

  4. 4

    Lock the fee after logistics are confirmed

    Changing setup requirements after the fee is agreed is a common source of disputed invoices.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Booking a vendor without ever collecting their insurance certificate.
  • Leaving power requirements as a vague yes with no detail on load or location.
  • Confirming a fee before finalising arrival time and setup needs, then renegotiating later.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

Privacy & compliance

This form takes money. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored in your response data — you keep the order details, not the card number.

Frequently asked questions

Is public liability insurance always required?

Most venues require it before allowing an external vendor onto the premises, so treat it as a standard requirement.

What if a vendor cannot provide a certificate in time?

Hold the booking as provisional and set a firm deadline before the event date.

How much setup time should be allowed?

Ask the vendor directly rather than guessing; catering and AV vendors often need more than florists or musicians.

Can the fee change after booking?

Only if the scope changes; agree any variation in writing before the event.
