"Set It And Forget It"

 
Set up reminders to ensure your clients are prompted to complete necessary tasks, such as providing vendor information, COIs, uploading necessary floor plans, completing final payments- whatever you need! You can also create payment plans as an easy and effective way to get your clients to complete outstanding payments on time (or even earlier!) through pre-generated payment links with the click of a button - making sure nothing slips through the cracks!

 

Eliminate Getting Asked the Same Question Over (and Over) Again

 
Provide your clients with the information they need upfront so they can plan their events without having to ask all of the same, redundant questions. Think of the most commonly answered questions you have a cookie cutter answer for and set those up as supportive tasks inside your Wedding Clients’ accounts.

For example, the task may be to "Rent A Tent", so in the description field you might enter: "our tentable space can hold up to a 60x90 ft tent. For guest counts over 120, please reach out to your host for further recommendations".

Improving these quick answers to commonly asked questions makes you, the host, and your client more efficient during the planning process by having this information readily available and easily referenceable!

 

Serve Up a Superior Customer Experience

 
For most couples booking at your venue, this is the first time they are planning for their wedding - which we all know can be overwhelming at times! By providing them with a free client planning portal, you offer guidance along the way without any additional effort.

 

Provide Clients with Peace of Mind

 
Having a system for your clients where they can log payments, upload documents, update vendor lists, and coordinate final details, makes everyone on the same page. Clients will get peace of mind knowing their i's are dotted, and t's are crossed, the overall risk is minimized, and they're receiving an industry-leading experience.
