In this article, we will be taking a look at the best event calendar Plugins for Elementor. These are a bit different than appointment booking Plugins, as they are primarily created to display events that a business or company already has.
If you’re looking for an appointment booking Plugin for Elementor, where your customer will self schedule an event, definitely check out our article on that, found here. however, some of the more powerful event calendar Plugins for Elementor in this list also have appointment booking capabilities, and we will mention that in the content below.
Without any further ado, let’s take a look at some plugins that we have tested (some we’ve even used on production client projects), making sure that they work with Elementor perfectly.
JetEngine Dynamic Listing Calendar
The calendar widget displays the schedule as detailed, interactive, clickable events.
Starting at: $26 per year

But you can also flexibly customize the functional elements. For example, set the date format, add booking forms, show the event's location on the map, and much more.

Pros
- Provides exceptional customization options
- Allows linking events to the booking form

- There are extended documentation and video tutorials
Cons
- You can’t get this widget standalone

Features
The developers have implemented everything necessary here: the ability to create a functional calendar with dynamic data in a clear interface. And then post it on the site. All metadata is pulled to the interface through JetEngine's dynamic widgets.
If you are tired of plugins with poor UX and a bunch of obscure unnecessary features, then this Calendar Widget is your breath of fresh air.
Each event in the calendar can be opened and examined in detail. Add any number of links, a booking form, a map to your events. You can also set a time period, set a limit on the number of displayed events, and much more.
Pricing
Calendar Widget is one of 14 Elementor widgets you will receive if you buy a subscription to JetEngine worth $26. This is a top plugin for working with dynamic content, which has no decent analog at the moment.
We analyzed only the calendar widget in more detail in this review, but we recommend reading about all the widgets and features. You will immediately understand what their coolness is.
User Reviews
JetEngine and all its widgets and the developer's team behind Crocoblock always get the highest rates. The team implements cutting-edge features and wraps them in a very user-friendly interface. And for those who could not figure things out, there is a legendary support team. 5.0 score with 500+ reviews on Trustpilot speaks for itself.
Our Thoughts
The cool thing about this calendar widget is that there is nothing extra—easy setup, easy to customize, easy to bring to the frontend. With dynamic data, you don't have to configure anything every time manually.
Ironically, for a price lower than other developers' just-calendars, here you will get the whole power dynamic plugin JetEngine.
