Awaiting an answer
Online booking for wedding and event planners
Couples stop asking “are you free on 12 September?” in your DMs and book a first meeting in an hour that is genuinely free. A short brief brings the date, the venue and the guest count with it, and everything from that meeting to the day itself stays in the CRM.
What a planner gets
Fewer DMs about dates. A first meeting worth having. A project that does not slip.
Bookly takes on the meetings, the brief and the history of the build-up, so your hours go to the event instead of to messages about free dates.
Instead of “are you free in September?”
Let a couple book the first meeting instead of waiting on a reply
Most first messages are the same two questions, is the date free and roughly what does it cost, and a good half of them never turn into a meeting. The page shows the ways into working with you, how long each takes and what it costs, next to the hours that are genuinely open. The couple picks a time themselves, in the evening, which is when weddings get talked about anyway.

The brief before the meeting
Walk into the first meeting already knowing the date, the venue and the guest count
The first half hour usually goes on things the couple could have written down in advance: when the wedding is, which city, how many guests, what kind of day they want and roughly what they are ready to spend. The form sits on the page next to booking, and a reminder the day before means the meeting actually happens.

Six months of build-up
Carry a couple from the first meeting to the day itself
Between that meeting and the wedding come a tasting, a fitting, several venue visits and rounds with suppliers, all of it in the calendar alongside three other couples. The couple’s card holds every meeting, your notes and what was agreed, so the next conversation starts where the last one stopped.

History of every meeting with the couple

Notes, agreements and the suppliers on the event
-
A diary of their own for coordinators and assistants
Quick start
How to open booking for meetings
One evening is enough: the meeting formats, your hours and a link you can share. No separate website and no technical work.
-
Build the studio page
Add the name, a few words on how you work, photos from past events and your contacts: that is what a couple gets instead of “send me a DM”.
-
Describe the meeting formats
Set the length and price of every way into working with you: a first meeting, a consultation, a venue visit, coordination on the day. The event budget you still work out together.
-
Open the hours you take meetings
Leave only the time you really see couples. Event days, venue visits and tastings stay blocked, so nothing lands on them.
-
Share the link
Put it in your Instagram bio, in stories and in your directory listing. New bookings appear in your calendar straight away.
Everything the build-up needs
Everything you need for wedding and event planners
Meeting booking, the season calendar, the history of every couple, the brief, decor stock and analytics in one service. You run several events at once and keep none of it in your head.
Booking a first meeting
The couple picks a format, a first meeting, a consultation or a venue visit, and takes a free hour. No DMs, no calls in the middle of your working day.
The season in one calendar
Meetings, tastings, venue visits and event days together. It is clear when you are already at a wedding and when you can take another couple.
The couple’s card
Every meeting with its date, your notes, what was agreed and the suppliers on the event. No scrolling back through six months of chat before the next call.
Decor stock
Candles, linen, glassware and all the small things that leave for an event. You see what is running out before it is missing at the venue.
A brief before the meeting
Date, city, venue, guest count, format and the budget they have in mind, collected before you meet, not in the first half hour of talking.
The money the season made
How many meetings you held, which formats bring in the most and how May compares with November by income.
The result in numbers
The date is held while the couple is still choosing
Intro meetings, venue visits and the event date itself live in one calendar, so two weddings never claim the same Saturday. And a deposit the couple sends for the date shows as its own operation in Finance.

Already asked
Be the first: ask about bookings, schedules, payments or anything else standing between you and getting started.
Not the event but the ways into working with you: a first meeting, a consultation, a venue visit, coordination on the day, each with its own length and price. The event itself you still scope and price in the meeting.
Put a price only where it really is fixed: a consultation, a venue visit, an hour of coordination. Planning packages can sit on the page without a figure, and you name it after the brief.
Yes. A wedding day, a venue visit or a tasting is blocked in your schedule, and that time is simply never offered to couples as free.
Yes, a form sits on the page next to booking: date, city, venue, guest count, format and the budget they have in mind. The answers collect in the form itself and you read them before the first meeting.
Yes, though by hand. The couple transfers the money and you add a Deposit operation in Finance with their name and the format of the meeting. Operations then shows which hour is already paid for, and with a reminder the day before that noticeably cuts the meetings called off at the last minute.
Yes. Each has their own diary and their own meeting formats, and the shared calendar shows how full the studio is and who is busy on the event day.
Yes. Create an account and set booking up with no card and no commitment.

Online booking and CRM for wedding and event planners
Bookly is a Ukrainian online booking and CRM service for wedding and event planners: couples book a first meeting in a free hour themselves, and a short brief brings the date, the venue and the guest count in advance. Everything from that meeting to the day itself stays in the couple’s card.
A planner’s work starts with a question about a date, not with a contract. “Are you free on 12 September?”, “roughly what does it cost?”, every day, in the DMs, in comments and in directory messages. You answer in the evening, between a tasting and a call with a supplier, and a good half of those conversations never reach a first meeting.
A booking page removes that step. It shows the ways into working with you, a first meeting, a consultation, a venue visit or coordination on the day, with the length and the price, next to the hours that are genuinely open. The couple picks a time and gets a confirmation, and the booking lands in your calendar. Event days, venue visits and tastings are blocked, so nothing can be booked over them.
The second thing a planner gets back is the start of the meeting. A short form collects what the couple can easily write down beforehand: the date, the city, the venue, the guest count, the format and the budget they have in mind. The conversation opens with options instead of half an hour of questions, and couples notice the difference in the first minutes.
Then come six months of build-up: a tasting, a fitting, venue visits, rounds with the decorator, the photographer and the host, a run-through and, finally, the day itself with a team of coordinators. The CRM keeps that thread, every meeting with its date, the notes and the agreements for each couple, while decor stock shows what is running low before it is missing. The deposit for the date goes into Finance as a Deposit operation, so Operations shows which couple it came from. The page itself works as one link for Instagram, your site and directory listings, so there is no separate website to build.
