Ensemble Event Studio
The WordPress plugin for events

Your events, your people, your places.

One system for your whole program: events, the people behind them and the places. Linked, not copied, and each with a page of its own. Not five disconnected tools.

Club, studio, conference: different instruments, same score.

01 — The Wizard

Setting up an event has never been this easy.

Everything in one place, in the order you choose. Prepare, publish, cancel, and change it again any time.

STEP 1

Basics

Title, status, date, category.

STEP 2

Content

What it's about and what people need to know.

STEP 3

Line-up & venue

Who's taking part and where it happens.

STEP 4

Media

Cover image, video, gallery.

STEP 5

Tickets & sales

Prices, tickets, links.

STEP 6

Page & SEO

Page layout, search title, URL.

No mountain of forms, no rigid top-to-bottom flow. You jump freely between the steps. Still missing an artist or a venue? Create it right here in seconds and fill in the details later. Whether you're preparing, publishing or cancelling at short notice, it all happens in one place, clearly laid out and editable at any time.

And when you switch on more features, such as booking, tickets or program items, the Wizard grows with them: the right sections appear exactly where they belong.

Click a step or a card. This is exactly how the real Wizard organizes the work: guided but free, and the status dot shows you at a glance what's already filled in.

02 — The full program

From the first idea to the sold seat.

20 features, one score.

Booking with tables, VIP areas and a waitlist. Paid tickets with real payment. Interactive floor plans by drag & drop. Multi-day timetables for festivals. Abstract submissions for conferences. Maps, calendars, downloads, menus, contacts, countdown, share buttons and more.

Each one fits in. None of them breaks the interplay.

New: AI on board

Your program already exists. Don't retype it.

A program booklet as a PDF, your old website, a Word file, some copied text: AI import reads them and turns them into import suggestions with date, venue and line-up. You check, you approve, and nothing is saved without asking. And when you write, the AI helps right at the field: shorten, translate, suggest genres and SEO, in your own tone.

You use your own AI key and pay the AI costs directly to the provider, with no markup. Ensemble shows you what a run will cost before every call.

One system for every industry. No compromises.

Club, studio, conference or a bakery with several branches: at their core they all share the same pattern. What's happening, who's involved, where it takes place. Ensemble builds on exactly that and adapts to your industry instead of forcing you into someone else's scheme.

You work in your own language, with exactly the functions you need.

03 — What. Who. Where.

What. Who. Where.

Everything comes down to three questions: What is happening, Who is involved, Where does it take place. The questions always stay the same, only the answers change. Artists, speakers, trainers or the on-site team: Ensemble calls them whatever your world calls them. And every answer is a detailed page of its own: the artist with their performance history, the venue with map and floor plan, not just a name field. Pick an industry.

What
Who
Where

Same structure, same engine. A club and a parish run on exactly the same score.

Three worlds, three real pages

Not a field. A page.

In Ensemble, the event, the artist and the venue each get a full page of their own, automatically linked to one another. Maintained once, connected everywhere: who performs where shows up on both pages right away.

04 — Brand Tuner

It adapts, and lets you design.

Out of the box, Ensemble comes with a coherent default look and blends in instead of standing out. And if your theme is built for Ensemble, Ensemble takes on its colors, fonts and shapes automatically, all of a piece from the very first minute.

And if you want it different, you design it yourself: colors, type, shapes, spacing. A few simple decisions, and Ensemble carries them through the entire output: every card, every button, every calendar, every feature. Without a single line of code, without any technical know-how.

Same page, same content. On the left the neutral default, on the right your brand. Switched using nothing but the Brand Tuner, without a single line of CSS.
05 — Integration

At home everywhere

Ensemble is no foreign body in your website. It plays along, whatever you build with.

Shortcode, Gutenberg block or Elementor widget: all three draw on the same foundation. Same result, same quality, whichever way you choose. For Elementor there are 35 widgets, so every output that exists as a shortcode exists there too. You don't need Elementor Pro for any of it.

Your theme stays what it is. Ensemble fits in instead of taking over.

And for the look itself, you can choose from three stage sets. Set one globally, or decide again for each placement. The choice is entirely yours.

Classic, Overlay, Minimal: one attribute decides, not a stylesheet.

And the tone adapts too: the Brand Tuner in the backend, live on your own content.

07 — Who it's for

Who does Ensemble play for?

You don't need a calendar plugin. Or a separate booking system. No ticket shop, no course management, no extra tool for the menu. All you need is Ensemble, because it isn't a single solution. It's a whole ensemble that comes together around what you need.

You run a venue.

Club, studio, event space, parish: you want a website that shows what's happening at your place, in your language, with exactly the instruments you need. No more, no less.

You build for others.

As an agency or web developer, you don't look after one stage but many, each with its own sound and its own requirements. With Ensemble you bring the same reliable foundation to every client, put together individually, without starting from scratch. You don't conduct one ensemble. You conduct several.

One system. As many line-ups as you need.

Fancy more sound?

If you want to go further, there are two more areas: Premium features add extra instruments to your ensemble, from print templates to selling via floor plans. And if you're after the whole look, not just the music, the Ensemble Theme gives you the stage to match. Alongside them there are extensions: separate products that aren't part of any plan and are bought on their own. The first one is the Newsletter.

09 — Foundation

Built to last

Ensemble fits into your WordPress instead of bending it out of shape. No foreign design system, no clash with your theme. Behind it is clean architecture: core and extensions kept separate, tested, actively developed.

And where it matters, for example with sensitive data about minors, privacy is built in from the start. Your website stays yours: no lock-in, no outside control.

Your ensemble. Your line-up.

Club, studio, conference, or something all your own. You bring the idea, Ensemble brings the score.
