# Luminary Events Landing Page V0 Template: The Playbook

- Tool: V0 Templates
- Last updated: July 2026

## TL;DR

Luminary Events is a v0 community template for event and venue landing pages built on Next.js, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Framer Motion. It ships with a hero section, event highlights, schedule timeline, speaker grid, ticket tier cards, and a venue map section. Fork it in under 5 minutes, update event details in Design Mode, add Stripe ticket checkout with one prompt, and go live on a custom domain — no code required to start.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Luminary Events template free to use?

Yes. All templates in the v0.dev community gallery are free to fork and use. Forking requires a free v0.dev account. There are no licensing fees for the template itself — costs only arise from v0 credits if you use the AI chat to customize it, and from Vercel hosting (which has a generous free tier for personal projects).

### Can I use this template commercially — for a paid event or a client project?

Yes. v0.dev community templates are released for unrestricted use including commercial projects. You can fork Luminary Events, replace the branding, wire up Stripe for paid tickets, and use it for client work or your own paid events. Check the specific license note on the template's community page for confirmation, but commercial use is the default expectation for v0 community templates.

### Why does my fork break in the V0 preview but work after deployment?

The V0 Vercel Sandbox preview runs code in an esm.sh-based environment that has limitations compared to a real Next.js runtime. Common causes of preview-only breakage include: Supabase real-time channel setup outside a useEffect (crashes with 'window is not defined' during SSR), external image URLs blocked by Next.js remotePatterns (shows broken image icons), and Google Maps iframes that need a real domain for the API key restriction to resolve. Deploy to Vercel and test on the live URL if the preview shows issues that seem environment-specific.

### How do I add real ticket purchasing to the Ticket Section?

Use the Stripe Checkout prompt from the Prompt Pack above. You will need a Stripe account, a product with Early Bird / General / VIP price IDs created in the Stripe Dashboard, and three server-only env vars added to V0's Vars panel: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY, STRIPE_PRICE_EARLY_BIRD, and STRIPE_PRICE_GENERAL / STRIPE_PRICE_VIP. The prompt creates a route handler at app/api/tickets/route.ts that creates a Checkout Session per tier. No Stripe code touches the browser directly — all secret key usage is server-side.

### How do I add a working map to the Venue Section?

Use the Google Maps embed prompt from the Prompt Pack. You need a Google Maps Embed API key from Google Cloud Console — create one, restrict it to your deployed domain (e.g., events.yourdomain.com), and add it as NEXT_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY in the V0 Vars panel. The prompt replaces the static location card with an iframe embed and a 'Get Directions' button. Never deploy an unrestricted Maps API key — restrict it by domain in Google Cloud Console first.

### How do I update the speaker photos to real headshots?

If the speaker photos are hosted on an external CDN, add the CDN hostname to next.config.js remotePatterns so Next.js Image doesn't block them. The safest approach is to download the headshots and place them in the public/images/speakers/ folder, then reference them with local paths like /images/speakers/jane-doe.jpg — no remotePatterns changes needed and the images are served from Vercel's CDN automatically.

### Can RapidDev customize this template for my event?

Yes. RapidDev specializes in taking V0 event landing page prototypes to production — adding Stripe ticketing, Supabase attendee databases, email confirmation flows, and custom domain setup so your event page is fully operational in days, not weeks.

### Does this template support multiple events or is it single-event only?

The template is designed for a single event — all content (event name, date, schedule, ticket prices) is hardcoded in the component files. It does not include a CMS, database-driven event list, or multi-event routing. If you run a recurring event series and need one site to manage multiple events, you will need to extend the template with a Supabase events table and dynamic routing, or consider a custom build.
