Wedding and event venues · South Africa
Couples enquire with four venues.The first to reply gets the viewing.
We set up a system that replies to every enquiry within 5 minutes, day or night, on your website, email, WhatsApp and Instagram. It answers the usual questions, checks the date, and books the viewing into your diary. You show the venue.

They are planning tonight, together.
Couples enquire in the evening and on weekends, often with several venues at once.

What changes
The same enquiries. Answered first.
Where enquiries slip today, and what happens instead once the system is live.
Every enquiry gets a reply within 5 minutes, day or night. The rest is measured against your own baseline.
How it works
Three steps. You show up.
- 01
Pre-audit and baseline
A 30-minute call, then a 7-day audit. We time how fast your enquiries are answered today and count your enquiries and viewings from the last 60 days. Both sides sign the numbers.
- 02
We build it on your channels
Your website form, email, WhatsApp and Instagram feed into one reply system, trained on your dates, packages and FAQs. It books into your diary and hands anything unusual to your team.
- 03
It replies, books and reports
Every enquiry gets a reply within 5 minutes, day or night. Viewings land in your diary with reminders. You get a monthly report on enquiries, viewings and bookings, in rand.
What is included
The Venue Viewing Pilot, in full.
5-minute replies, around the clock
Website, email, WhatsApp and Instagram. Same standard on a Sunday night as on a Tuesday morning.
Date checks and viewing booking
Checks availability, offers viewing slots and puts the booking straight into your diary.
Viewing reminders and no-show rescue
Reminders before the viewing. If a couple does not arrive, it offers a new time.
Polite follow-up
Couples who go quiet are followed up a set number of times, and it stops the moment they reply.
Handover to your team
Pricing negotiations, special requests and anything sensitive go straight to the right person.
Monthly recovery report
Enquiries, reply times, viewings and bookings, with the value in rand.
Your numbers
What slow replies cost your venue
Five numbers about your venue. Nothing is sent anywhere.
All channels: website, email, WhatsApp, Instagram and phone.
Evenings, weekends and busy event days count. Most venues guess low here.

- Starting values are examples, not averages. Move them to your own numbers.
- It assumes a couple who waits is more likely to view another venue first. It does not assume every slow reply is lost.
- Your pre-audit replaces these guesses with your real numbers from the last 60 days.
Investment
Start small.
Most venues start with the 30-day pilot. If it works, you move onto the Engine and the pilot setup fee is credited.

50% deposit on setup. The monthly fee starts at go-live. Includes the past-enquiry message, no-show rescue, review requests and the monthly report.
Book your pre-auditFor venues with at least 10 enquiries a month. Every system is scoped to your business, so we quote after the free pre-audit. The quote is fixed and in writing.
We run three pilots at a time, because each one is built and watched by hand.
The guarantee
Measured against your own numbers.
Or you get your money back.
If the system books no attended viewings in the 30 days, your setup fee is refunded.
95% of enquiries on web, email, WhatsApp and Instagram get a first reply within 5 minutes, day or night. Any month that misses it is free.
If booked viewings are not 25% above your audited baseline at day 60, we work free until they are. Or you cancel and get both monthly fees back. The setup fee covers the build and is not refunded.
Both guarantees are measured against the baseline from your 7-day audit, signed by both sides, and apply to venues with at least 10 enquiries a month.

Questions
Asked before booking.
Thirty minutes on a video call with Daniel. We look at where your enquiries come from, how fast they are answered today, and what that is likely costing you. If it is a fit, we agree a 7-day audit that sets the baseline the guarantee is measured against. If it is not a fit, we say so.
Replies are written in your venue's voice and sound like a person, but we never pretend it is one if a couple asks. Anything that needs judgement, like a custom quote, goes straight to your team.
A viewing the system booked, where the couple arrived at the venue at the booked time or a time it rescheduled to. Viewings your team booked by hand do not count.
You choose. Move onto the Engine with the pilot fee already credited against the setup, or walk away. If no attended viewings were booked, your setup fee is refunded.
Before you sign, we run a 7-day audit. We send test enquiries through each channel and time the replies, and we count your enquiries and bookings from the last 60 days using your own inbox and diary. Both sides sign the baseline, so the guarantee is measured against numbers you agreed to.
No. We connect to the diary you use today where we can. If something needs to change, we tell you on the pre-audit, before you commit to anything.
You do. The accounts, the number, the messages and the customer records sit in your name. If we stop working together, it keeps running and stays yours.
