Whether you run a wedding venue, plan meetings daily or organise corporate events — event planning is a full-time juggling act. You’re managing incoming requests, quotes, timelines and task lists, all at once. And what you really want is: clarity. That’s where event planning software can be a game-changer. As long as it not only works smart, but also fits the way you work. So how do you know if you're choosing the right tool?
At MICE Operations, we speak with event planners, venue managers and hospitality pros every single day. And we often hear the same questions come up. In this blog, we’re answering the most common ones — so you can quickly get a feel for what MICE can mean for your venue and your work as a planner.
1. “Is MICE a good fit for my venue?”
A lot of planners wonder if MICE might be ‘too big’ or even ‘too small’ for what they need. Our answer: MICE grows with you. Whether you run a cosy restaurant or manage a venue with multiple event spaces, MICE adapts to how you work. No clutter or unnecessary features, just exactly what you need to handle requests, planning and communication smoothly.
2. “Is switching over complicated?”
Switching to a new system can feel like a lot of work — especially when you're already busy managing events. We get it. That’s why MICE is designed to be as intuitive as possible. Plus, we’re happy to help you set up your account and walk you through how your processes can run smoother. No long training sessions or complex migrations — we keep implementation easy and stress-free.

3. “What if my colleagues aren’t very tech-savvy?”
We hear this a lot. MICE is built with event planners in mind — so no technical jargon or complicated dashboards. Just a clear system with no-nonsense navigation. And if someone gets stuck? We’re just a message away.
4. “Can multiple team members work in MICE at the same time?”
Absolutely. You can create individual profiles for each team member and set their permissions in user roles — so the kitchen sees kitchen lists, and finance only sees the invoices. The number of users depends on your subscription, but yes: real teamwork, in one shared system.
Being able to work with multiple people on the same platform is super important for us. We’ve now got twelve people using MICE, and it’s still easy and clear for everyone.

5. “And… how much does it cost?”
We like to keep things clear. You pay per month or per year, per location — no surprises later. Need to add more spaces or users? We’ll work with you to make sure MICE continues to match your needs as you grow.
Every venue is unique. And we love that. You can start with a free trial account or schedule a tailored demo — no pushy sales talk, just a personal look at what would really work for your location. That way, you can explore MICE at your own pace (though we think you’ll love it).
