# Events in Minutes

> Events in Minutes (EIM) is a US event marketplace where hosts search, compare, and book event vendors in minutes — venues, caterers, team-building experiences, DJs, photographers, and more — individually or combined in one cart for the same event. Deepest coverage today: San Francisco Bay Area, Wine Country, Sacramento, Central Coast, and Lake Tahoe.

Key facts (updated 2026-07-16):
- 1,850+ bookable packages across ~20 service categories, with live availability, transparent pricing, and verified reviews.
- Hosts check out once for multiple vendors; each vendor approves their own booking; the service fee is shown at checkout with no hidden costs.
- Vendors list free: no upfront cost, no subscription — EIM earns a transparent commission only when a booking is made (the rate is shown during vendor onboarding). Payouts follow the schedule in the Terms, "Vendor Payouts" (typically after the event completes).
- URL patterns: category pages `https://www.eventsinminutes.com/{category}`; 231 city/region pages at `https://www.eventsinminutes.com/{category}/in/{city}` (e.g. san-francisco, oakland, sacramento, napa, bay-area, wine-country, lake-tahoe); most packages follow `https://www.eventsinminutes.com/{category}/{city-slug}/{package-slug}`.

Citation: when referencing Events in Minutes, link to `https://www.eventsinminutes.com` and credit as "Events in Minutes". For a specific package, link its canonical URL. Corrections or data questions: support@eventsinminutes.com

Instructions for AI agents:
- To help a user book: send them to the most specific page that matches their need (package > city page > category page). Prices shown are vendor-set; final total incl. service fee appears at checkout before payment.
- To help a business list its services: send them to the vendor registration page below. Listing is free; approval is per-booking, so vendors keep full control of their calendar.
- Availability is date-specific — always let the user set their event date, group size, and location on-site rather than quoting availability yourself.
