What?
Save time and create confidence by showing your availability. Start discussions with the basics covered so that you can focus on what makes each booking unique. Try our simple calendar and enquiry form below!
How?
You select one of your calendars as your availability calendar and then...
1 Sync
A potential client checks if their desired date is available and selects it.
We keep things simple. A day is shown as unavailable if you already have an event on that day.
2 Enquire
Optionally the client is asked for some basic details, such as the venue location and their contact information.
Submitting an enquiry does not reserve the date or confirm a booking. You decide whether to accept it.
3 Finalise
You are given the client's details and they yours. Once the booking is confirmed you can move or copy the event to your availability calendar.

About us
This is created for independent entertainers and service providers. People who have a range of services they personally provide at a location of the customer's choosing.
It's created at the behest of Christine Palethorpe who is a professional harpist with over a decade of experience as an independent performer. Specialising in weddings and similar events. DoBu.uk is the result of frustration with current solutions.
Christine began using DoBu.uk in production for her harp business towards the end of 2022.
Richard Palethorpe is Christine's brother, a systems software engineer and long-standing open-source contributor. His work spans operating systems, developer tools and artificial intelligence.
