The smarter way to find and book event vendors
Festriva was built to solve a simple problem. People planning events in the UK have no reliable, structured way to find and book trusted professionals. We are changing that.
Our story
Built out of frustration with how things were
Planning an event should be one of the most exciting things you do. Instead, most people spend hours scrolling Instagram, posting in Facebook groups, chasing replies on WhatsApp, and hoping the person they found is actually as good as their photos suggest.
On the other side, talented event professionals — photographers, cake designers, DJs — are losing time to tyre-kickers, no-shows, and enquiries that go nowhere. They have no professional booking infrastructure. No way to show their work properly. No deposit to protect their time.
Festriva fixes both sides of that problem. We built a curated marketplace where customers can discover real vendors, see real work, understand exactly what they are getting, check availability for their specific date, and secure a booking with a deposit — all in one place.
And for vendors, we built a proper professional home. Portfolio-first profiles. Defined packages. A calendar they control. A booking system that protects their time before they commit a date.
