In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, organizing events such as technical programs, birthdays, weddings, and social gatherings has become increasingly challenging. Poor planning, lack of coordination, budget mismanagement, and limited communication between organizers and vendors often result in confusion, higher expenses, and reduced satisfaction. To address these issues, this paper introduces JoyNest, a web-based event management application designed to simplify and streamline the entire event planning process. JoyNest provides users with a structured and user-friendly platform where they can plan, organize, and monitor their events efficiently. The system guides users step-by-step, beginning from event selection to vendor management and invitation handling. An integrated AI-based assistant supports users by offering smart suggestions, reminders, and personalized recommendations based on their preferences and requirements. The platform also connects users with registered vendors, enabling smooth communication and service selection within a single system. By integrating frontend technologies like React.js and backend processing using Python, the application ensures responsive performance, secure data handling, and real-time interaction. JoyNest not only improves event organization and user satisfaction but also creates business opportunities for vendors by promoting their services on a unified digital platform. Overall, the proposed system aims to make event planning more organized, cost-effective, and convenient through the use of modern web technologies and intelligent assistance.
