Wonder if CrowdCompass would suit your needs?
We don't use CrowdCompass so I created a workaround.
It is a little extra work.
On our registration we ask for mobile number and cellphone carrier.
We have an explanation that providing your carrier we will send a few texts.
I use 2 additional contact fields.
1) Carrier (text)
2) SMS (hidden) (email)
I export all attendees to excel.
For the SMS field I create a calculation in excel.
cellphone & "@vtext.com" (Verizon)
Takes some cleaning up.
Then import back into my contact records.
The SMS field becomes a Cc:.
Two downsides though, but I feel the upside outweighs the downside.
1) This only works with invitees. Not guests.
2) They will get 2 emails. So they need to be short and sweet.
Overall it has gone over very positively,
My attendees have told me they are not checking email, but they do look at texts.
I've been very careful not to overuse it.

Subject: SMS Reminders
Does anyone have a provider they use to send SMS reminders in the lead up to an event in CVENT? We've explored a few options, but wondering if any integrations are already built with outside vendors.
