Hi,

I think Event Espresso 3 would probably be the best option.

Have four levels of registration for either golf/sponsor, golf only, banquet only

Either via different tickets in a single event, or by using an event per type. In EE3, tickets cannot be limited individually (capacity is per event).

Be able to list all our sponsorship packages available for the event with descriptions. We need to be able to be manually enter if the sponsorship is sold (some purchase offline)

Probably the best way would be just in the event description.

Need to have a donation entry (This is someone just wants to make a cash donation to us)

We don’t have a specific donation system in place, I would suggests a separate event that can be used for donations.

We have intuit swipe cards and merchant accounts (We also have pay pal but really only want to use Intuit)

EE3 has the Quickbooks Merchant services gateway as well as many more, including PayPal.

Need to be able to get all registered online users names for golf pairings

The plugin can obtain all the information you wish from the attendees at registration. If you need data after registration, the information can be exported to a spreadsheet.

Need to be able to place all sponsors on pages once they purchase a sponsorship and also have a sponsorship page to list them

This could be done with a list attendees shortcode, which lists out the attendees names for an event.

Can you have a sponsors event page (where they check out as a sponsor) and can you have a golfers event page (where golfers and hole sponsor golfers can check out) or do they all have to run down one page?

By default they all list out, but it’s quite easy to modify this withy the shortcodes. If they are made as separate events, you can add a specific event to a page via a shortcode or a list of events in a specific category.

Do any themes work with this or do you have themes available?

Most themes will work so long as they follow WordPress guidelines. We have a list of know conflicts here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/known-third-party-plugin-theme-conflicts/

Also I would suggest avoiding single page themes (where all content is loaded on a single page via AJAX) as I have seen this specific type of theme cause issues sue to the unusual URL structure.

I hope that helps, but if you have more questions or need further clarification please let me know.

Hi,

Personal would probably work out just fine, Business is of course better value. The Multiple Event Registration add on (via the Business licence or separately) may also be useful to you but it isn’t strictly necessary – https://eventespresso.com/product/espresso-multiple/

The events are by default listed on a single page, but with shortcodes you could easily add two pages to your navigation and add a single event (or list of events) to each page.

Each event in EE3 can have a max capacity, let’s say 200 as an example. Once reached, the event will stop taking registrations.

Also each registration can be limited to a single reservation or a group booking which has a max amount.

Let’s say you add group booking to the event, maxing at ten. A person can then register 1 to 10 tickets for that event in one go (this does not stop them from completing the registration and registering again).
