Reservations

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.

Single Room to a Single Event

  • You must have edit rights on the Events page to do this.
  1. Go to the Events page and open the Event record.
    Note: Be sure the Event's start and end day and time are correct, and indicate any needed setup or cleanup time in the available fields.
  2. Click the Rooms & Groups tab.
  3. Click New Room Reservation.
  4. Enter or select the room name into the Room Name field, or click the magnifying glass to use the Available Rooms view.
  5. Select the appropriate room.
