How it works for wedding venues

Couples enquire with several venues in one evening. Be the one that answers.

Wedding enquiries come at night and on weekends, and couples book site visits with whichever venue gets back to them first. FirstVoice answers those calls and books the visit on the spot.

  1. Asks for their date and guest numbers, then checks availability
  2. Answers questions about packages, capacity, accommodation and wet-weather options from the information you give us
  3. Books a site visit or open-day spot into your calendar
  4. Takes enquiries for other events, like birthdays and corporate functions
  5. Flags anything on the wedding day, and any deposit or cancellation dispute, to you straight away
