What are Vibefam Events, Workshops, and Courses?
Vibefam Events, Workshops, and Courses is the module of the all-in-one studio management platform that lets boutique studios sell and run three distinct formats, drop-in events, multi-session workshops, and structured multi-week courses, with bookings, payments, capacity management, waitlists, and member communication handled in one system.
Events, workshops, and courses are three distinct programming formats that boutique studios run alongside their regular schedule. All three live in the same product surface, share the same payment and member infrastructure, and feed into the same reporting.
- Drop-in event: a single-session experience like a popup class, a guest-instructor masterclass, an open house, or a community social.
- Workshop: a fixed package of two to six sessions sold as one purchase, like a pranayama deep-dive across three Saturdays, a teacher-development weekend, or an instructor-led posture clinic.
- Course: a structured multi-week curriculum with progression, like a six-week beginner Pilates course, an eight-week introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or a twelve-week barre fundamentals program.
The practical outcome: studios stop running events on Eventbrite, workshops on Google Forms, and courses on a side spreadsheet. Vibefam handles all three on the same platform that already runs your classes, memberships, packages, and merchandise.

What's Included with Events, Workshops, and Courses
Three Formats, One Platform
Drop-in events, multi-session workshops, and structured courses: all configured, sold, and run in Vibefam.
Drop-in events
Single-session experiences sold as a one-off ticket. Use cases include guest-instructor masterclasses, open houses, popup classes at a partner venue, member appreciation socials, and community fundraisers. Capacity caps, waitlists, and automated reminders are configured the same way as a regular class.
Multi-session workshops
Bundles of two to six linked sessions sold as a single purchase. Use cases include yoga retreats, weekend immersions, instructor workshops, posture clinics, and teacher-development weekends. Members pay once, and Vibefam tracks attendance across every session in the bundle.
Structured courses
Sequenced multi-week curricula with cohort progression. Use cases include multi-week beginner Pilates courses, six-week strength foundations, eight-week BJJ intro programs, and twelve-week barre fundamentals. Vibefam tracks progress, manages cohort capacity, and handles communication across the full course window.
Capacity and waitlists
Per-session capacity caps, automatic waitlist promotion, and overflow handling, including for retreats and weekend workshops where each session has different room or equipment limits.
Integrated payments
Members pay once for a workshop or course, with the option to use existing packages or memberships where eligible. No separate Stripe checkout, no Eventbrite payout reconciliation, no manual receipt issuance.

Sign-ups flow through your AI Website Builder site or your branded mobile app. Members never leave your brand for a third-party event platform, and the data lands in the same member profile as their classes and memberships.

One System, Not Five
Without a native events module, studios end up with events on Eventbrite, workshops on a Google Form plus a Stripe link, and courses on a spreadsheet. Every tool takes its own fees, silos its own data, and breaks when a member wants to pay with their package.
- One member profile: class history, last Saturday's workshop, and the course they are three weeks into, together.
- One payment record: monthly memberships and one-time course payments in the same books.
- One automation engine: class reminders, pre-event briefings, and post-course follow-ups from the same system.
Built Around Real Boutique Programming
Boutique programming does not fit a weekly class slot. Vibefam supports the formats studios actually use to grow:
- Yoga: weekend retreats and three-Saturday pranayama deep-dives.
- Pilates: multi-week beginner courses that convert intro packs into memberships.
- Martial arts: eight-week BJJ fundamentals cohorts.
- Dance: six-week choreography intensives every quarter.
- Barre: popup masterclasses with visiting instructors.
Capacity is per-session, payment is per-format, communication is per-cohort. And it all rolls up into the same revenue dashboard as your classes, memberships, and merchandise, so you can see which programs drive growth.
Before Vibefam vs With Vibefam
- Drop-in events run on Eventbrite, with separate fees, separate payouts, and member data trapped in the platform.
- Multi-session workshops collected on a Google Form, with payment via a manual Stripe link and attendance tracked in a spreadsheet.
- Multi-week courses managed in a side spreadsheet that gets out of date the moment someone reschedules.
- Capacity managed by hand, double bookings, missed waitlists, and no overflow logic.
- All three formats sell through your branded site and member app, with capacity, waitlists, and payments handled natively.
- One member profile shows classes, packages, memberships, workshops attended, and courses in progress.
- Pre-event reminders, mid-course check-ins, and completion follow-ups run through the same automation engine as class reminders.
- Revenue reports show classes, memberships, packages, merchandise, and event/workshop/course income in one rollup.
