Once you submit a vendor request, you can monitor its progress in real time under the Requests & Bookings section of your event. No follow-up emails needed—this view shows exactly where each vendor stands so your team stays aligned and planning moves forward.
Each request card also surfaces key details at a glance:
Vendor name and location
Dates requested
Estimated vendor price
Timestamp of the last update
Who submitted the request
Hotel Statuses
As hotels review and respond to your request, statuses will update automatically to reflect where things stand. Here's what each one means so you always know what to expect next.

Contracting Statuses (Hotels)
Once you move to Accept & Book, your hotel request enters the contracting process. Here's what each status means:
Contract Requested: You've selected Accept & Book and a contract is in progress.
Contract in Review: The hotel has uploaded a draft contract for review.
Ready to Sign: The hotel has uploaded the contract for signing—it's your turn.
Awaiting Countersignature: You've signed, and it's waiting on the hotel's countersignature.
Booked: The contract is fully executed and your event is confirmed.
For Full Service events: Since BoomPop manages contracting on your behalf, you'll see Booking Pending in place of "Contract in Review," "Ready to Sign," and "Awaiting Countersignature"—covering everything from when the hotel uploads the draft through when you sign. You'll still see Contract Requested at the start and Booked once it's finalized.
Restaurant & Activity Statuses
These statuses apply to both restaurant and activity vendor requests, regardless of planning type.
Request Sent: Your request has been submitted and is waiting on a response.
Checking Availability: The vendor has viewed your inquiry and is working on it.
Available: The vendor has confirmed availability and provided pricing.
Not Available: The vendor cannot accommodate your requested dates.
Proposal Declined: You've declined the vendor's proposal.
Booked: The vendor is confirmed for your event.

Booking Cancelled: The booking has been cancelled.
Tips for Managing Requests
Switch between list and comparison views for easier evaluation.
Filter by Requests or Booked to focus on what matters.
Add new vendors directly from the page without leaving your event.
With real-time status updates across all your vendors, you'll always know what's pending, what's ready to review, and what's confirmed—so nothing slips through the cracks.
TL;DR
Track all vendor requests live in Requests & Bookings.
Hotel statuses differ between Full Service and Self Planning events.
Hotel contracting now moves through detailed statuses—Contract Requested, Contract in Review, Ready to Sign, Awaiting Countersignature, and Booked—with Full Service events shown as Booking Pending throughout.
Restaurant and activity statuses are the same regardless of planning type.
Each request card shows key details to help you compare options and stay organized.
