About Luma

Luma is a hosted event platform for running everything from community meetups to launch parties. Hosts create a polished event page, invite guests, collect RSVPs and sell tickets, while attendees can browse and discover events in their area.

The service is available on the web and through a mobile app, and it offers a pricing page for hosts who need paid features. Its public pages are light on product detail, so listed capabilities are limited to event pages, invitations, ticketing and discovery.

Luma is a commercial hosted service with no self-hosted option. It suits community organizers, clubs, startups and creators who want a lightweight way to publish an event page, collect RSVPs and manage who attends without building a ticketing site of their own.
