The receptionist that never misses a call

Most bookings still start with a phone call — and a caller who hits voicemail doesn't leave a message, they ring the next name on the list. Your receptionist answers 24/7 on your own local number: takes the date, venue and details, checks your diary, and texts them your booking link before they've found anyone else. You get the transcript and a scored lead, not a missed call.

  • →Answers every missed call, evenings and weekends included — the hours enquiries actually happen
  • →Checks your diary in real time and captures date, venue, guest numbers, timings, budget and email
  • →Every call lands as a scored lead with a three-line summary, a suggested reply drafted, the full transcript and an optional recording
  • →Remembers repeat callers by name, texts links instead of spelling emails, and can ring you first in business hours
  • →From £10/mo (Lite, 10 calls) + £49 one-off setup — local number included. Bundles: Solo £25/mo (25 calls) · Multi-Op £35/mo (50) · Agency £60/mo (100). Different usage? Get in touch.

How the migration works →

A booking, start to finish

01

An enquiry lands

Straight from your website into Event Nest. The AI reads it, pulls out the date, event type and guest count, checks your diary for clashes, scores how hot the lead is, quotes from your packages and drafts the reply — in your voice. You review and hit send.

02

They book

One click converts the lead to an event with the client record and a personalised agreement. Your client signs electronically and pays the deposit by card from a single secure link — no account, no app, no friction.

03

The event plans itself

Instead of a 12-page form, your client has a friendly chat in their portal. Out comes a running order, an event summary, a event brief and their must-play and do-not-book lists. Guests add requests via a shareable link — anything clashing with the banned list gets flagged automatically.

04

Booking week runs on rails

Fourteen days out, the balance reminder sends itself. Two days out, an AI event brief lands in your inbox: timeline, audience, key moments, energy arc, practicalities. After the night, the review request goes out while the dance floor is still a happy memory.

Watch it work

An enquiry lands. Then this happens.

The enquiry — 11:42pm

Hi! We're getting married at Mitton Hall on 14th June next year — about 120 guests. We love 90s R&B and Motown. What do you charge and are you free? — Sophie & James

Clients plan their events in their own portal, reminders send themselves, and you see exactly which bookings made money.

Real clients · real weekends

The standard it protects

These are real reviews of the founder's own supplier business — the working diary that runs on Event Nest every weekend. This is the level of service the software exists to make sustainable.

“Communication with him beforehand was outstanding: every time I messaged him I had a response within the hour, I'm not joking.”
— Shannon Rigg, wedding
“He really got to know us and knew exactly what sort of music and vibe we wanted, and on the day he actively looked out for both of us and talked us through everything.”
— Matthew, Earley–Holden wedding
“Everyone commented on your music choices, but also how easy you were to deal with and how you went out of your way to help other suppliers and guests too.”
— Nisha Jervis, wedding
“After our initial phone call, we felt you got us to a tee, and the music set you delivered on our wedding day confirmed this — it exceeded all of our hopes!”
— Hannah Norfolk-Booth, wedding

Event Nest, in plain English

What is Event Nest?

Event Nest is AI-first business software for mobile suppliers and entertainment agencies. It triages your enquiries, drafts quotes and replies in your voice, sends contracts and takes card payments, runs the event planning with your clients, and briefs your team — all in one place.

Who is Event Nest for?

Working suppliers and event entertainment businesses in the UK — from solo wedding and party suppliers to multi-op companies and agencies running a roster of suppliers. If you take bookings, send quotes and run events, it's built for you.

Is Event Nest good for wedding suppliers?

Yes. Wedding work is the core use case: itemised quotes, e-signed contracts, deposit and balance payments, a client planning portal, guest request-request links, and an AI event brief before every wedding. It replaces the spreadsheet-and-inbox juggle most wedding suppliers live in.

How is it different from a spreadsheet or a generic CRM?

Generic CRMs don't know how a supplier business runs. Event Nest does — it checks your diary for clashes, quotes from your packages, generates the contract from the booking, plans the planning, and writes the event brief. The AI does the admin instead of just storing it.

Do my clients need an app or account?

No. Clients and their guests use private, secure links — no passwords, no downloads, nothing to forget. They sign, pay and plan the event from one link that looks like your business, not ours.

Can I take deposits and balance payments by card?

Yes. Send a secure payment link and clients pay the deposit or balance by card through Stripe. Payments mark themselves as paid automatically, and balance reminders send themselves before the event.

Can I move my existing bookings across?

Yes. Export your clients and upcoming events as a CSV from your current system and import them in a few minutes — most suppliers are fully set up the same day. On the Agency plan we'll do the import for you.

How much does Event Nest cost, and is there a free trial?

Plans start at £19/month. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial of everything. A card is taken at signup so the account can continue seamlessly, but nothing is charged until day 31, and cancelling takes two clicks. No contract.

Tonight's enquiries could answer themselves.

Set up in an afternoon. By the evening, Event Nest is reading enquiries, drafting replies and holding dates — and you're back to the work you actually chose.
