Provided are methods and systems for creating events in a calendar application by providing a user with a suggestion service (e.g., tool, function, etc.) for entering various details about the events. The event creation suggestion service is designed to provide the user with a single-box suggestion-like experience that allows the user to quickly and easily enter information about an event (e.g., event title, event location, event date and/or start/end time, contacts to be associated with the event, etc.). With each keystroke a user may be given a set of suggestions (e.g., auto-completions) to choose from. In this manner, the user may create detailed events by typing in one box as if the user is only entering the title for the event, and selecting from relevant suggestions that are provided.
