Great calendar, very feature-rich. My clients love it. 🙂 The Elementor addon is really promising, for now it lets you create identical widgets (as the mail templates). Hope they will give us more creative freedom in next updates.

If I could give you 6 stars I would. I have tried virtually every calendar plugin on the market. Besides the fact that this is by far the best one, the customer support is simply the best I've ever had with any purchase. I can't give you guys enough credit for an outstanding product and outstanding support. Thank You!

It’s exactly what I have wanted since FOREVER. Thank you, Webnus, for finally making it happen. A quick trial of the lite version showed me how easy it is to use, and how valuable the pro version and add-ons will be. (Great how-to videos, BTW!) Looking forward to putting MEC to good use!

In fact, I have many reasons for a positive rating, but the most important reason is a great set of thoughtful functions of this plugin. This calendar helped to create on my site the necessary functionality with an adaptive and modern design. And I'm sad that I can't use all the plugin functions, because there are too many of them. 🙂

I have tested most of the “Popular” and “well established” calendar plugins. This was exactly what I wanted. We use the premium version for our customer training calendar on our company DIVI site and the lite version on our private Intranet site (Astra Pro and Elementor Pro) for scheduling events.

Out of the box this plugin looks great. All the other plugins I've used for events have had poor styling and required a lot of extra editing to make them presentable. I haven't ran into any problems thus far with this program, the support has been fantastic and I'd definitely recommend this to a friend.

This plugin looks very stylish and works great. It is also well supported for updates which is reassuring. My client is very happy with it because it is fairly easy to use once it’s set up. Thanks for your hard work on this plugin!

With free and paid versions available, whether you simply want to add basic events publishing functionality to your website or you have more demanding needs, there’s a good chance this plugin will meet your requirements.
Modern Events Calendar is an advanced events calendar solution for WordPress that simplifies the task of managing events, publicising events, and taking bookings. It is one of the best ways you can manage events and handle bookings on a WordPress website. As you have seen, the plugin has hundreds of settings to help you customise your events and its support of third-party services and WordPress plugins is superb.
If you are running an event website or you want to start a WordPress powered website with booking services, you need a managed WordPress hosting that will not disappoint you and a strong and practical plugin that can provide all the required features. The most important factor in such projects is the user-friendly environment the plugin creates. In this regard, both Lite and Pro versions of Modern Events Calendar (MEC) can help you.
As the name suggests, the core benefit of Modern Events Calendar is that it lets you create an events calendar that looks pretty great out of the box.
