Create a personal event on your Square Appointments calendar
About personal events
Personal events in Square Appointments are designed to give you flexibility to block off a period of time to show unavailability for a personal event or a recurring scheduled event. When your customers view your online booking page, they will only see available booking times and not your personal events.
