Enquiries and CRM

The wedding venue CRM that keeps your inbox out of the way

Hostology reads your inbox for you, pulls the genuine enquiries into your pipeline and gets your first response out fast, with your voice on it. Peak season stops being about the inbox.

The enquiry pipeline in Hostology: each enquiry with its customer, event, status, dates, next task and value.

What a venue CRM needs

Wedding venues need a CRM built for venues, not adapted. Hostology filters inbound enquiries with AI, extracts date, source and event type into a venue-native pipeline, and sends branded email templates through Gmail, Outlook or Google Workspace. It covers show-rounds, quotes, contracts, deposits and reporting, from £45 a month.

Turn inbox chaos into bookings

  • AI-assisted enquiry filtering, so nothing sits in the wrong inbox

    Connect Gmail, Outlook or Google Workspace and Hostology reads inbound emails for you. Genuine enquiries land in the pipeline with the date, source and event type already pulled out. Cold leads, marketing noise and hen-do enquiries you do not take, stay in your inbox.

  • Branded email templates and workflows that fire in your voice

    Unlimited templates, branded to your venue, sequenced through workflows for weddings, private events or corporate. The team can always step in and personalise before it sends.

  • A pipeline that maps to a venue's reality

    Show-round bookings, quotes, contracts, deposits and booked events, all on one view. No adapting a Salesforce built for someone else's business.

  • Real numbers on where your bookings come from

    Sales reporting inside the dashboard shows conversion rates by source, event type, team member and season, so you can see what actually works and where the season's gap is opening.

  • One wedding enquiry in full: the show-round, hold and proposed dates, the quoted value, day and evening guest numbers, a scheduled follow-up and the email thread with the couple.
  • A draft quote for a wedding enquiry: the event date and guest numbers, with packages, venue hire, food and drink and accommodation totalled by category.

How it fits into your venue's day.

    Connect your inbox

    Gmail, Outlook or Google Workspace, in a few minutes.

    Watch the pipeline fill itself

    Hostology filters, extracts the key details and drops enquiries into your pipeline in real time.

  • 03

    Respond in your voice

    Use a branded template, or personalise before you send. Either way, the follow-up is scheduled.

  • 04

    Track what closes

    Reports show where the booked events came from and where you lost the ones that got away.

From first enquiry to finished event, one platform

Enquiries, follow-ups and bookings live in the same place that runs the event itself, so a converted enquiry flows straight into planning, with nothing re-typed and nothing lost in the hand-over.

Common questions

Does Hostology replace my existing email inbox?

No. Hostology reads alongside your inbox. Genuine enquiries are pulled into your pipeline, everything else stays where it is. Your team keeps its usual email.

How does the AI enquiry filter know what is a genuine enquiry?

It looks at the sender, the language, the source and the shape of the message. It gets better over time as your team confirms and corrects it. If it is wrong, you flag it and it learns.

Can I keep sending emails from Gmail or Outlook, without switching?

Yes. Templates and workflows send through your connected inbox, so your hosts see the same email address they always have.

Can I see where my bookings are coming from?

Yes. Sales reports break down conversion by lead source, event type and team member, so you can decide where to put budget and effort next season.

Does this work if we get most enquiries through a directory like Bridebook or Guides for Brides?

Yes. Hostology reads whichever inbox the enquiry lands in, so if a directory forwards to your team address, the enquiry gets pulled into your pipeline the same way.
