Getting started

Updated Oct 30, 2026

Thank you for choosing Soirée, a WordPress theme for events, venues and ticketing: galas, weddings, concerts, conferences, private dining and workshops. This guide covers installing the theme, setting your site up exactly like the demo, and running it afterwards.

What's included

  • Soiree Scout And Seat: the theme, as a .zip file you upload to WordPress.
  • Soiree Scout and Seat Core: the companion plugin. It comes inside the theme package (in its plugins folder) and adds the site's features: events, venues, reservations and payments, guest accounts, the Site manager and the one-click demo import.
  • This documentation.

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.0 or newer
  • PHP 8.0 or newer
  • Elementor (free, from WordPress.org)

The demo import installs the required plugins for you, or you can install them yourself from Plugins → Add New.
