What your Websta profile should contain
Your profile page acts as your business card and portfolio online. Start with a clear description of the types of events you organise - weddings, corporate events, product launches, conferences, parties, festivals, or any specific niche you serve. Be concrete about what you do: do you handle full planning from concept to execution, or do you focus on specific aspects like venue coordination, catering liaison, or day-of management.
Add a portfolio section with photos of events you have organised. Include images that show the full scope of your work: venue setups, decorations, crowd shots, and detail photos that demonstrate your style and attention to quality. People decide whether to contact you based on what they see.
List the services you offer as separate items with descriptions. This might include event planning and consultation, vendor coordination, timeline management, guest list handling, budget planning, day-of coordination, decoration and styling, or technical setup. Each service should have a brief explanation so clients understand what they are booking.
Include a booking or quote request option so potential clients can contact you directly through the platform. Most clients will want to discuss their event details before committing, so a contact form or message option is essential. You set whether clients can book directly online or must request a quote first.
Which languages to use on your profile
Write your profile in Hungarian first. This is where the local market is. If you work with international clients or are based in Budapest or another tourist area, consider adding English as a second language. Keep both versions accurate and complete - do not leave sections blank in one language. Websta allows you to manage multiple languages in your profile.
How people in Hungary search for event organisers
Websta has a marketplace section for events where people nearby can browse event organisers by location and see available services. When someone searches for an event organiser in their town or region, they see profiles sorted by service type and location. This means including your town or region clearly in your profile helps people find you.
Clients also post tasks on the marketplace - for example, 'I need help organising a 100-person wedding in Budapest in June' - and event organisers can make offers on those tasks. Setting up your profile with clear services and description means you are visible both when people browse and when they post tasks.
Some clients search the web directly for event organisers in their area. Having a Websta profile gives you a web presence beyond just social media, and it is indexed by search engines.
What you need to register as an independent event organiser
In Hungary, if you work as a sole trader or freelancer, you typically need to register with the tax authority. Check with your local tax office or a business advisor for the current rules - requirements can change. You may need to register as an individual entrepreneur (egyéni vállalkozó) or as a self-employed person (KATA scheme if you qualify), depending on your income level and business structure.
Payment handling works through Stripe. You connect your Hungarian bank account to receive payments from clients who book through Websta. Stripe handles the card processing and deposits funds directly to your account. Check Stripe's current terms for Hungary to understand fees and settlement times.
Keep records of your work - quotes, confirmations, invoices, and client communications. These are important for tax purposes and for showing your portfolio to potential clients.
Photos that work on your profile
Invest time in good photos. They are the first thing potential clients see. Include wide shots that show the full event setup, detail shots of decorations or table settings, and candid shots of guests and atmosphere. If you have before-and-after photos of a venue transformation, include those - they show what you can do.
Include at least one clear photo of yourself or your team. People want to know who they are working with. If you work with other organisers or a small team, show that too.
Make sure photos are properly lit and in focus. Blurry or dark photos make your work look unprofessional, even if the events themselves were excellent.
What to write in your first hour
Start with your profile headline and main description. Write in one or two sentences what you do and who you work with. Example: 'I organise weddings and corporate events across Hungary. Full planning, vendor management, and day-of coordination.' Be specific about your location or the areas you cover.
Add three to five core services with short descriptions. Do not try to list everything - focus on what you do most and do best.
Write a brief bio. Say how long you have been doing this work, what you are known for, and what matters to you in event organising. Clients want to know you are experienced and reliable.
Add at least three strong portfolio photos. Quality matters more than quantity at the start.
Fill in your contact details and set up how clients can reach you - phone, email, or messaging through Websta.
Set your location clearly so people searching in your area can find you.
Building your profile over time
Your profile is not a one-time setup. After each event, add new photos to your portfolio. Refresh your description occasionally to highlight seasonal services or special offerings. Respond quickly to client inquiries - response time and communication are what turn inquiries into bookings.
As you work with clients through Websta, they can leave feedback on your profile, which helps new clients decide whether to contact you. The marketplace on Websta is where event organisers in Hungary find clients actively looking for their services.
