Choose between two methods:
- Method 1: Direct 'Book Now' Button in Wix (Recommended): Links directly to your mobile-optimised booking engine (
https://yourvenue.smartbookings.net).
- Method 2: Embedded HTML iFrame Element: Embeds the booking form directly within your Wix page using the Wix HTML Embed element.

2 Click + (Add Elements) > Embed Code > Popular Embeds > HTML iFrame.
3 Click Enter Code above the element and paste the responsive embed code below:
<div style="position: relative; width: 100%; min-height: 850px; overflow: hidden;">
<iframe src="https://yourvenue.smartbookings.net/bookevent?embed=1" style="width: 100%; min-height: 850px; border: 0;" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
4 Drag the handles of the Wix HTML element to expand its width to 100% and height to at least 900px to avoid internal double-scrollbars.
