1- Check out the Ultimate Venue website, which is essentially a massive directory of event venues that you can choose from. They even provide details and panoramic pictures of the venues. You can shortlist your venues and call them directly with just a click of a button.

2- With all of the costs and vendors, you need a good online money management and budgeting tool. Try Mint.com - it is a free online money management tool that allows you to link your checking, savings and credit card accounts to it. Once linked, all of your transactions are automatically incorporated into your Mint account. Its easy to keep track of your expenses this way.

3- For online payment processing, another sure way to go is Paypal. Paypal is usually accepted by most websites and vendors as a reliable payment transfer service. You’ll have to setup an account before you can pay someone or send out invoices to customers.

4- If you want to avail online venue hunting services, then go to VenueWorld for assistance. They can show venues from all over the world for you, until you find something that you like. Venues are important part of the theme of your event, so make sure they are both aligned.

5- With all of the venue hunting, you’d want to make sure you choose a place that is easy to get to. Why not try out OpenStreetMaps to check out different venues and select the ones that best suit your targeted audiences. This is a mapping service created by users themselves. Do check it out. After all, the easier it is to get to your event, the more likely it is that people will come.
