Company Description
Vintage Land is a 33 years old Los Angeles based event company that focuses on creating unique experiences ranging from flea markets to large-scale conventions. It works as the hub for all its in-house events that cover the Los Feliz Flea, VR Escape Room, and the upcoming Ink & Grind Fest.
The brand delivers more than thousands of events every year and it has been a loyal customer of WP Event Manager for 7 years now. The team exclusively uses our premium add-ons for each of their events.
Phillip Dane and Shelly Dane are the owners of the company that was established in the year 1991. The husband-wife duo has been operating in this industry for more than 2 decades now. They both have a passion for creating unique events that help bring artists, makers and the entire community under the same roof.
They began their professional journey in 1991 as event planners who produced trade shows and exhibitions on fashion and entertainment.
They introduced Vintage Land in 2014, which gained a reputation for being the ultimate destination for artisanal goods, vintage finds, and local food and drink.
The inspiration behind the project
Vintage Land organizes different types of events and each of them comes with its unique requirements. That is why it was looking for a suitable event management solution that could fulfill all such complex requirements and at the same time, it would be easy to use.
The co-founder Phillip Dane said “The inspiration to build VintageLand.la and integrate WP Event Manager came from the need to manage our diverse portfolio of events efficiently. From flea markets to indoor skate parks and conventions, we needed a solution that could handle complex requirements while being easy to manage.”
The best part about the project is the seamless integration of WP Event Manager with their custom Ultimate Seats addon. This generated a customizable and attractive seating chart that has improved the attendee experience to a great extent.
In the words of the founder, “This allows us to create fully customizable, visually appealing seating charts directly on the WP Event Manager platform, elevating the attendee experience and setting us apart in the event management industry.”
The Challenges Vintage Land Faced
As the brand deals with a wide range of events with unique requirements, it needed a solution that could efficiently meet them.
The challenges Vintage Land faced include the following:
- Managing all the events efficiently.
- Handling tickets and registration.
- Multiple vendor management.
- Offering a satisfying user experience.
- Poor seating arrangement.
- Attendee engagement.
- Integrating WP Event Manager with their Ultimate seats addon.
As a result, they experienced loss of time and revenue.
“One challenge was integrating our add-on with the core plugin, but the developer-friendly structure of WP Event Manager made this easier. The Ticketing and Vendor Management features, combined with Ultimate Seats, provided the most benefit by streamlining operations for our in-house events at VintageLand.la.
How Did Vintage Land Find WP Event Manager?
After a comprehensive research on an efficient event management solution with a user-friendly interface and community recommendations, they ended up with WP Event Manager.
Before joining hands with WP Event Manager, the team struggled a lot with different event management solutions as they were either rigid or overly complex for their events. They tested more than 16 event management solutions before finalizing WP Event Manager and realized that no solution came closer to it.
“Before adopting WP Event Manager, we struggled with platforms that were either too rigid or overly complex for our diverse event needs. These issues led to inefficiencies in ticketing, vendor coordination, and seating arrangements, often resulting in lost time and revenue. We needed a solution that could adapt to events of all sizes and integrate seamlessly with our WordPress setup. WP Event Manager proved to be the perfect fit, offering the flexibility and user-friendly interface we were seeking.”
