Here is an overview of some of its products:

Entech can also build custom applications that will fit your needs. Since they already have the product made, it might be good to look into a company like this that makes custom ones.
I know Niraj, the co-founder of Entech, and he probably would be happy to assist you with this product. Let me know how it goes.

It's open source so you can easily get at the code if you need to look at it. There are example sites using the calendar linked from the project wiki (http://www.php-calendar.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page).
It runs on PHP 4.1 or later and MySQL 4 or later.
It certainly looks as though it may do what you want.

I need to integrate a calendar system into my PHP / MySQL application, what's the best way?
I'm writing a PHP & MySQL web based application with dashes of
Javascript using jQuery and MooTools.
I've been struggling with the decision to create my own calendar
system or use one someone else has made. Ideally, I want something
quick and easy to implement but that my designer can change the look
of to fit exactly into my front-end. The solution also has to be
something open so that I can modify and redistribute the code as
needed. Basically, I want a drop-in solution.
I'm going to use this code as part of a larger application. I have a
handful of users that need to each add / change / remove events as a
group. As mentioned, I need it to fit in with my front-end design and
have code that can be modified to fit my exact use if required.
There are a good number of free options out there. However, the sheer
number is daunting. Do you have a good solution for me?
The best answer will be considerate and well thought out. Thanks in
advance for any help!

I would recommend contacting a company like Entech Solutions, as they make custom calendar applications, and they could assist you with your needs. Its one application is the XScheduluer, which you can see a demo below: http://www.entechsolutions.com/Products/XScheduler/Demo.aspx

Have you considered php-calendar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-calendar/)? It's open source so you can easily get at the code if you need to look at it. There are example sites using the calendar linked from the project wiki (http://www.php-calendar.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page).

This does look good. However, when I gave it a spin, it consists mostly of the backed functionality I need but no front end. Thanks for the point in the right direction, but its not quite what I need.

Have you considered using the Google backend, and writing your code as an interface to that? You still get all the advantages you say - front end designed how you want, 'open' code, etc - but you can focus on the presentation and logic, and not have to worry about reinventing the core of a calendar engine.

It was unfair to choose no best answer
Looks like a case of not getting the answer he wanted, which is not the same as not having a best answer. He said "considerate and well thought out", and each answer seems to be that.

I have considered it and I would love too.
However, I'm concerned with the ability to distribute & sell my software when complete and ideally, my software won't rely on externally hosted api's.
Thanks though.

Oh, I dunno, I think the future of "cloud" software is more supportive to the idea of external apps than you think. Plenty of Ruby development, for instance, being done with the assumption that you will host on the Amazon servers. And what about Microsoft's ideas about an entirely cloud-driven operating system? It's not that uncommon to sell a piece of software that relies on a web service. Perhaps Google offers a pay service, in which case it's no different from any other strategic integration.
