AI Intake Forms for Event Planners

Intake Forms for Event Planners

Capture event details, budget, and vision before the first call. Qualify clients, not just inquiries.

Every event inquiry isn't a good fit. HeyIntake helps you collect budget range, guest count, date, venue status, and style preferences so you can identify ideal clients and skip the tire-kickers.

Why Event Planners Need Smart Intake

In event planning, mismatched expectations are expensive. Champagne dreams on a beer budget leads to unhappy clients and negative reviews.

A simple 'I'm planning an event' inquiry tells you nothing. Is it a 20-person dinner party or a 500-person corporate gala? Do they have $5,000 or $50,000? Are they planning for next month or next year? Without this context, you're flying blind into consultations.

HeyIntake captures the essential details before you spend an hour on a discovery call. Event type, guest count, date, venue status, budget range, and their vision for the event. Our AI identifies which inquiries match your ideal client profile and flags potential red flags.

For wedding planners, corporate event coordinators, and party planners, this means consultations with qualified clients, realistic expectations from day one, and a portfolio of events that match your brand.

Common Challenges for Event Planners

Sound familiar? HeyIntake solves these problems automatically.

Budget Mismatch

Spending an hour on a consultation only to discover their budget is a fraction of what the event requires.

Unrealistic Timelines

Inquiries for elaborate events 3 weeks out that would normally require 6 months of planning.

Vague Requirements

'I want something elegant' could mean anything — you need specifics to quote accurately.

Date Flexibility Unknown

Checking vendor availability for a date they're not even committed to.

Scope Creep Risk

No documented requirements means constant 'can you also...' additions.

Ghost Inquiries

Leads who inquire, get proposals, and disappear without responding.
