• On a service in your plan, tap Find to search that service in your city on your date.
• On a profile or in Compare, tap Add to event plan. They appear under the matching service.
• Tap Send enquiry next to a shortlisted professional. The form is filled in from your plan and the enquiry is linked to it.
• As they reply, each professional shows the progress: enquiry sent, quote received, then booked.

The budget bar shows how much is booked (green) and how much is still only quoted (gold) against your total budget. Each professional is counted once: their booking if they have one, otherwise their latest quote. You can also set a budget for each service.

On the Checklist tab, tick to-dos as you finish them, add your own and remove ones you don't need. Overdue items are shown in red.
