Event type, date, location, and budget - under a minute, no account needed to start browsing.
Every profile is reviewed and ABN-verified before it goes live. Badges like Top Rated and Highly Responsive are computed from real activity - never manually toggled, never for sale.
Ask a question and get a personal quote back - or, on packages that support it, skip straight to a real confirmed booking. Your choice, every time.
Handled securely through Stripe from here on, with a real, published refund schedule behind every booking.
Not every payment situation is the same, so junto doesn't force one on you. Where a vendor offers more than one option, you'll see exactly what each one means before you book.
Pay the full price up front, in one go. Usually the lowest price of the three, since the vendor gets paid in full immediately.
Pay 20% to confirm your booking, then the rest is charged automatically 7 days before your event - no need to remember or chase it up yourself.
If you cancel within the vendor's stated window, you get a full refund, no questions asked - real flexibility built into the booking itself.
Not every package offers all three - each vendor sets which options they're able to offer.
Most vendor directories connect you and step back - the deposit, the cancellation terms, and the risk are entirely between you and a stranger. junto handles the payment and the paper trail, so you're never just hoping it works out.
Your account isn't just a receipt - it's where the rest of your planning happens too.
A checklist, budget tracker, guest list, and seating planner - private to your account, no extra sign-up.
Once your event's done, you review your vendor and they review you - every review moderated before it's published.
Every enquiry, quote, booking, and payment stays in your account - nothing buried in an inbox or a text thread.
No - you can browse vendors, compare packages, and even start an enquiry before creating an account. You'll only need one to send that enquiry or make a booking.
Yes - every payment on junto is processed through Stripe, one of the world's largest payment processors. junto never sees or stores your card details.
Every booking follows a published refund schedule: a full refund 30 or more days before your event, 50% between 8 and 29 days, and no refund inside 7 days. If you booked under a Free Cancellation option, you get a full refund within that package's own stated window instead. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
You get a full refund of anything you've paid, regardless of how close to the event date it happens. junto also follows up with the vendor directly.
On packages where a vendor has enabled it, you can skip sending an enquiry and go straight to a confirmed, paid booking at a fixed price. It's entirely optional - you can still send a normal enquiry first if you'd rather ask questions before committing.
Every vendor provides a valid ABN and is manually reviewed before their profile goes live. Badges like Top Rated and Highly Responsive are calculated automatically from real booking and response data - never set manually, never for sale.
