I've used a handful of booking and appointment plugins in the past, but this one BY FAR is the best looking one and has the most features. So happy I found it! Excited for future updates too...

I was looking for a booking plugin and this fit perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by how customizable it is, namely on email notifications, page layouts. It works with multiple payment gateways. The support is great, reliable and open to suggestions and new features ideas.

This is THE appointment scheduling plugin you need for your small business. Other calendar scheduling tools tend to lock you in with the amount of add-ons you get for a certain price, but BookingPress doesn't do that to you - it's all included. The system works from start to finish, and the ability to customise everything in a few clicks according to your brand is incredible!My system also had a whole lot of issues and support were fantastic and on-the-ball, and solved all of them in no time. I've never experienced such helpful and dedicated customer support like this. And their Facebook group truly feels like a community coming together.I'm so excited to see BookingPress continue to grow to new heights!
