WordPress site owners running bookings for specialists, classes, or multi-person events keep hitting the same wall: their booking plugin handles one person, one slot, and falls apart the moment a booking needs a group, a party size, or multiple attendees per slot. This isn't a one-off complaint — it recurs across 5 distinct Reddit threads, with people actively hunting for an Amelia or Events Calendar alternative.
