Planning checklist
A smart event checklist that adjusts to your event type and date. Get reminders for the tasks that actually matter, including contracts, deposits, insurance, and day-of logistics, in the right order.
Why Event Atlas
Part of the free Event Atlas planning suite. Works alongside our other tools and the local New England vendor directory.
Not a generic checklist. Every task has a goal ("lock in your venue") and actionable next steps, not just "pick a venue."
Tasks unlock at the right point in your timeline: 12 months out, 6 months out, and 1 month out. That keeps surprises and 18-month-early panic out of the process.
Wedding, birthday, corporate, anniversary, or baby shower, the checklist changes to fit. It does not dump wedding-only tasks onto your corporate event.
Per-task reminders fire as deadlines approach. Set a relative lead time or a fixed date so you avoid surprises and overdue deposits.
Built for your event
Our task catalog covers weddings, birthdays, corporate events, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, and more. When you set your event type, the checklist tailors itself.
Never miss a deposit
Budget line items can be linked to checklist tasks, so the deposit you owe and the task you see share one source of truth.
Shared with your team
Collaborators own tasks, mark them complete, and everyone sees the same state without duplicate spreadsheets.
