The gap, in your world

They are excited tonight. By Friday they have three quotes

Excitement is the window, and it closes overnight. Nothing about that is a service failure — it is simply when people plan.

  1. 11:55 PMA couple messages about a date in November and asks what your packages include.
  2. 12:10 AMThey send the same message to two other planners, while the idea is still exciting.
  3. 9:30 AMOne planner has already answered with the package and asked for the guest count.
  4. 2:00 PMYour team replies. The couple has moved on to comparing two proposals that are not yours.
How it works for an events team

From the first message to a signed date

  1. 01The enquiry arrives with its source.From an ad, a website form, Instagram or a referral link — tagged with the campaign, ready to be worked rather than re-typed.
  2. 02The AI captures the brief.Date, guest count, venue preference and budget expectation as structured fields, in natural conversation, while the couple is still talking.
  3. 03The proposal gets followed up.Polite automatic nudges until they reply, then a human takes it — so no proposal dies because everyone was busy delivering last weekend’s event.
What it changes

Three things the team feels this season

A brief you can quote from

Date, guests, venue and budget arrive as fields rather than scattered through a long thread, so the first proposal is accurate and fast. The alternative — reading the whole conversation back to reconstruct what they asked for — is where planning teams lose their evenings.

Proposals that do not go quiet

Quotes are followed up on a schedule you set, and the sequence stops the instant the customer replies. Most events are won by the planner who was still politely present two weeks later, not by the one with the best deck on day one.

Seasonal pushes to people who asked before

Broadcast a seasonal offer to opted-in past enquirers with an approved template — the couples who asked last year, the companies who ran an event two seasons ago. It is the warmest list in the business and usually the least used.

How to compare

What to look for in a CRM for events

Ask these of any vendor, us included. Event enquiries are emotional, seasonal and easy to lose.

  1. Does it answer at midnight?Ask what reaches an enquiry that arrives when the couple is planning, not when your office is open.
  2. Does the brief arrive as data?Ask whether date, guest count and budget land as fields you can filter — or as a paragraph somebody has to read before quoting.
  3. What happens after the proposal?Ask how a quiet quote is followed up, how often, and whether that stops the moment the client answers.
  4. Can you message past enquirers?Ask how a seasonal offer reaches last year’s enquiries, and how consent is handled when you do.
  5. Whose enquiries are they?Ask whose number the conversations live on and what you can export when the season ends.
What you can count on

Guarantees, not good intentions

Each of these is enforced in the product, on every enquiry, whatever anyone configures.

Packages are answered from your own informationInclusions, availability and pricing come from what you loaded; anything missing is flagged to your team rather than improvised to a couple planning a wedding.
A follow-up stops when they replyEvery nudge is skipped the moment the client answers, so nobody is chased for a proposal they already responded to.
Seasonal offers respect consentBroadcasts reach only people who opted in, with approved templates, and an opt-out is immediate and irreversible by anyone but them.
Every enquiry keeps its briefThe structured answers stay on the record, so the quote, the follow-up and the final invoice all refer to the same event.
FAQ

Questions people ask before they buy

Can it check date availability?

It captures the requested date and hands your team a structured brief; your calendar shows what is free at a glance.

Do quote follow-ups feel pushy?

You control tone and timing; sequences stop instantly when the customer replies, and a human can take over any time.

Can we handle weddings and corporate separately?

Yes, separate campaigns, routing and knowledge bases keep each audience’s answers and follow-ups distinct.

What about Instagram enquiries?

DMs and comments land in the same inbox with instant replies, where most event discovery starts.

Does it capture the brief?

Yes — date, guest count, venue preference and budget expectation as structured fields, captured in natural conversation.

What happens to a quote nobody answered?

Polite automatic nudges continue on the schedule you set and stop the instant the client replies, then a human takes over.

Can we push a seasonal offer?

Yes, to opted-in past enquirers with an approved template — the warmest list in the business.

Does it answer out of hours?

Yes, in seconds. Event planning happens in the evening, which is exactly when most enquiries arrive.
