Passelier
The quiet machinery of a flawless event

The night runs itself.
We make sure of it.

We are the team that runs the invitations and the door for one important evening — done for you, not handed to you. Send us the date and the guest list; we build the response page, send invitations from your own domain carrying a private pass for every guest, and verify each one at the door. There is nothing for you to learn and nothing for you to set up.

WeddingsMilestonesGalas & FundraisersPrivate Hosting

Luxury is being expected. From the invitation to the door to the seat with your name on it — every guest, expected.

Where we sit

Not a tool you learn. Not an agency for the whole event.

There is a gap between buying software and hiring an agency, and almost nobody works in it. We do one part of one evening — the invitations and the arrival — and we do all of it for you.

One end

A platform you operate yourself

From a free template to a licensed guest-list system, the deal is the same: capable software, and the work still yours. Somebody on your team cleans the list, chases the responses, learns the tool, and stands at the door. Most of it is sold by the year, for an evening you hold once.

Real cost: your team's hours, for weeks
Where Passelier works

Done for you, for one evening

We build the response page, compose the invitations, send them from your own domain, issue a single-admission pass to every guest, and verify each one at the door — while you do the part only you can do. One named contact, one fixed fee, agreed before we start.

Your time: a briefing and an approval
The other end

A full-service event agency

The right answer when you need the whole production designed and staffed. Considerably more than an evening's invitations are worth, with a lead time and a procurement process to match.

Real cost: a scope far wider than the door
The arc of an evening

Five moments, one seamless celebration — and Passelier holds every one.

Depth you feel, never see.

Behind every effortless evening is a great deal of quiet machinery. Here is the breadth of it — the same system our hosts and planners run tonight.

The Custom RSVP

Before a single card is designed, we open the guest list with a response page composed for your event alone — your artwork, your wording, your questions. Guests tell you whether they are coming, who they are bringing, and what they need, and every answer flows straight into the guest list, the seating chart, and their QR pass. This is where the evening truly begins.

The Door — Guest Authentication

Your door team opens the scanner, enters a 6-digit PIN, and admits the room. Each pass is server-validated for single admission — welcome on the first scan, a discreet amber warning on the second, a quiet red on the unknown. A fallback procedure is agreed with each venue in case connectivity drops.

The Grand Entrance

The moment a celebration turns on is the host's entrance. Passelier lets the host or planner set a grand entrance index — the share of guests seated before the guest of honour is ushered in. Cross the threshold and the room is ready; a clear cue, a clear action plan, no guessing at the door.

One studio for every message the celebration needs — a formal invitation, a change of plan, a thank-you the morning after. Choose a template, style it in your theme, add a gold call-to-action, reach a second address per guest, preview, and send with pacing that never trips the limits.

Seating Assignment

A room is more than a seating chart — it is who sits beside whom. Passelier lets the host, or the planner they delegate it to, place each guest and each party at the exact table they have in mind. Group the families, seat old friends together, keep the head table just so — you curate the chemistry of every table, while the platform keeps the count honest and every seat accounted for.

After the Last Guest

The evening doesn't end at the door. Passelier sends each guest a branded thank-you, and delivers a polished PDF summary of the night to the host — who came, who was expected, seats redeemed — a keepsake and a record in one.

One platform, two ways in

Whether the night is yours — or your client's.

For Hosts

Be a guest at your own party.

You host. We handle the rest.

You planned it. You paid for it. You deserve to actually be in it — not refereeing a list at the door.

  • No queue, no dispute — every pass is verified in an instant, and only your guests get in.
  • Your list stays private — each pass is verified for a single admission, so a forwarded or copied invitation is refused at the door.
  • Watch it from your phone — see who has arrived and who is still expected, without leaving your seat.
  • Set your grand entrance — choose the arrival threshold that cues your entrance, and slip into celebrant mode.
  • One calm system — invitations, the door, seating, and the thank-yous, all in one place.

For Planners

Your event. Your name on it. Our hands on the door.

The invisible arrival layer.

You own the relationship, the design, and the room. We run secure invitations and remote day-of authentication — so you scale without adding to your team.

  • Scale without headcount — run more events, in more cities, on the same weekend.
  • Invisible-tech, high-touch — clients see a seamless arrival; we stay behind the curtain.
  • No conflict, no overlap — we never design, never staff your floor, never touch your client relationship.
  • Choreograph the entrance — set each client's grand entrance index and hand them a clear cue for the guest of honour.
  • Partner tiers — softer terms as you bring more events; run Lagos and Winnipeg the same night.

For brands & companies

One evening, done for you.

You have a date, a venue, a guest list in a spreadsheet, and fewer weeks than you would like. The software you can buy leaves you to do the work; the agency that would do it for you is quoting for the whole production. We take the invitations and the door off your desk entirely — as an outside supplier, to your deadline, under your brand.

One or two evenings a year is not a reason to licence a platform, and it is not a reason to brief an agency. It is a reason to hire the people who will simply do it.

The hours are ours, not yours
You can licence software and keep the labour, or brief a full-service agency and buy the whole production along with it. We sit between the two. We take the list however it arrives — the messy spreadsheet, the three spreadsheets, the chasing — clean it, send it, and run the entrance on the night. You deal with the people doing the work rather than an account manager routing it onward, and nobody on your team learns a system or is managing a guest list at 6pm.
The invitation is the credential
One artifact doing two jobs: handsome enough that guests are glad to receive it, and functional enough to open the door. No separate ticket, no app to install, nothing for a guest to remember to bring.
Priced for the evening you are actually having
A fixed fee for the event, quoted in your currency, with a purchase order or vendor form completed to your process. No annual licence, no per-seat minimum, and nothing still being paid for in March for a party you held in October.
A data processing agreement, ready
Guest lists, dietary requirements and accessibility needs are personal data, and some of it is special category data. We act as your processor under a written agreement, with a named retention period and a disclosed list of sub-processors. We arrive with the paperwork rather than waiting to be asked.
Invitations from your own domain
Guests see your company as the sender, not a third party. We supply your IT team a single-page record sheet they can action without a meeting — or, if a domain change is not practical in the time, we send under your display name from authenticated Passelier infrastructure.
Controlled guest lists
Invite by name from your own list. Where a guest is entitled to bring someone, their pass admits the number you approved and no more — so a forwarded invitation never becomes an extra cover.
Trust & Security

Exclusive by design.

Every guest receives a unique pass that can be admitted only once. If a pass is copied or shared, the first valid scan is welcomed and every later attempt is immediately flagged as a duplicate — so a forwarded invitation never becomes a second admission. Your guest list stays private, and yours alone.

Single-admission passes
One pass per guest. Admitted once; later attempts are rejected.
