Fantastic, simple but effective plugin for your event calendar. I have paired it with forminator to add a booking form capability, and the two together form a rock solid solution.

Great Plugin that works right of the box. It has the best looking single event page we’ve seen, and we’ve tried 13 event calendar plugins. It takes some careful thinking, but changing the templates is pretty easy if one wants to do some customizations. A big “thank you” to Simple Planner!
