Reserve Rooms

An overview on reserving rooms through MinistryPlatform, including how to book one room for one event, multiple rooms for one event, one room for multiple events, and a helpful view.

Those with edit rights on the Events page can add room requests to an Event at any time. Once you associate a room with an Event, you can copy them as part of a recurring series to all future instances of the Event series. You must reserve each room individually, and you may not reserve "combo" rooms.
