Event coverage company

invitednyc.com is a website that I have been working on for 7 years, it mainly covers events in NYC. There are definitely a few improvements I would like to make such as having a "submit a event" button where visitors can submit their own events and it will end up on my upcoming events page, and all I have to do it reject or approve the event depending on the submission.  I would also like to revamp the site to make it more like a news site with articles of stories/events. Does anyone know what template is best for that? Any feedback would be appreciated!
