Incoming Call...

Event Planner

"Hi, I'm looking for a venue for a wedding reception. Do you have availability for June?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! Our Grand Ballroom is available—seats 250 guests, $4,500 for the day. Would you like to schedule a venue tour?"

The Problem

EVENT VENUES LOSE
BOOKINGS EVERY DAY

You're losing thousands in revenue while couples call at night, no-shows waste your time blocking dates, and your team can't keep up with endless inquiries. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Couples Are Ready to Book

An engaged couple finds your venue at 10 PM, calls excited to book their dream wedding, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already toured three other venues and put down a deposit somewhere else.

The Cost
$8,500/booking
Average lost per missed call

Your Team Is Overwhelmed with Inquiries

While you're giving a venue tour, five more couples call asking about availability. Catering questions, date changes, pricing inquiries—you can't answer everyone fast enough. Potential clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.

The Cost
75+ calls/day
Per event coordinator

Tours No-Show and Dates Sit Empty

You block off a prime Saturday date, prep the venue for a tour, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone, and that date stays unbooked. No second chance, just lost revenue and wasted time.
