Creating a Full Day Event

Create full day events in Meetlr for workshops, retreats, and all-day sessions where guests pick a date rather than a time.

Full Day events in Meetlr are designed for bookings that span an entire day. Instead of picking a specific time slot, guests select a date. This type is ideal for workshops, retreats, training days, and off-site meetings.

When to Use Full Day Events

  • Your session runs the entire day with no fixed start or end time
  • You are hosting a retreat or off-site that spans a full day
  • You offer day-rate services such as consulting or photography
  • You need to block full days for intensive work sessions

Creating the Event

Go to Events in the sidebar and click New Event. Select Full Day from the event type options. Enter the event name, description, and color. Because this is a full day event, there is no duration selector — the event automatically blocks the entire day on your calendar.

Setting Available Dates

Under the scheduling section, define which dates are available for booking. You can specify a date range, select specific days of the week, or mark individual dates as available. This gives you precise control over when guests can book a full day with you.

Additional Configuration

Add a Location — especially important for in-person full day events. Use the Description field to outline the agenda, what to bring, and logistics such as parking or check-in times. Add Custom Questions to collect dietary preferences, accessibility needs, or other relevant information.

Tips

  • Include a detailed agenda in the description so guests know what to expect
  • Use date overrides in your availability to block out days you cannot host
  • Consider requiring payment upfront for high-commitment full day events
  • Send a detailed reminder email the day before with logistics
