We have a small one page site where we host various Events for our industry. Currently we have been doing a online .pdf form to allow them to fill out and send back to us. We want to ultimately intigrate this into our site to allow them to register for the event and also pay for the event online.

What services are there out there that will allow for this but will integrate seemlessly into our site?

Have a look at some of the online store web sites, like osCommerce (http://www.oscommerce.com/) and X-cart (http://www.x-cart.com/)

Paypal does this? I thought they only did the payment processing part of it. I was thinking of something more with an event component part of it. So for example the can come back to the site and log into a user name and password to validate their membership info with the detailed event info.

Ok I've been digging around and I guess I'm looking for something like this. Just the pricing is too expensive considering the price of the event.

You could generate a simple form for registration info and link it to paypal for payment processing. As long as your host has PHP support, that would be the simplest thing to do.

There are several form generators on the web that are free to use. Or check out PHPMailer-FE (http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/index.php?pg=phpmailerfe) to use in your own forms. I use this on several of the websites I manage. Registration info goes to your email and then redirects the to paypal for payment,...
