Booking Package

Things I really like and what I did not found in other plugins I tested:
- individual time slots per day
- nice design
- easy to set up (although its a bit confusing in the beginning)
- configurable submission form

Things that could be better:
- There is no custom css class for the first row (so its not possible to style these cells comfortable)

love it

Booking Package is the simplest solution for integrating an online appointment booking calendar system and event calendar into your WordPress website.
