Wedding planners: booking first meetings with couples online

Newly engaged couples may start looking for a planner in the evening or at the weekend, together, when your office is closed. Let them book a first meeting online at that moment, choosing an office or a video meeting. You arrive knowing the date, the guest count and the budget range, and the couple leaves with the next meetings already in their calendar.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give meetings one place per slot: a couple books once for both of them.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own. Leave the price empty for free meetings.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the couple's calendar file. Ask for the date and guest count in the note.

Offer each format as its own service. Book doesn't create video links: send yours by email after the booking. For venue visits, say in the description where you meet.

If you see more requests after the winter holidays, open extra first-meeting slots for those weeks with an end date. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so evening and Saturday slots take minutes to set up.

When the couple signs, book the planning meetings yourself from your bookings list: budget, venue, suppliers, final details. First and last name are enough; if you enter their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each meeting. Rescheduling works across services.

Couples can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments or deposits. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
