IndustriesOthersEvent planner

Event planning softwareEvery event planned, every detail in one place.

Weddings, launches and conferences, each with a proposal, a board of tasks, vendors and payments in stages. Duke answers enquiries, follows up proposals and tells you what's overdue before the big day.

Duke at your events studio

Duke watches the countdown so the day just happens.

He answers enquiries with your packages, books first calls with your planners and saves each couple's date and guest numbers. Proposals left unanswered get a follow-up drafted, and he can tell you what's overdue on any event's board in one answer.

Duke does this for you

On its own, by your rule

First calls booked while you're on site.

While you're running a wedding, Duke answers new enquiries from your packages and puts a call in a planner's diary at a time the client picks.

Duke on WhatsAppWe do. Corporate events are quoted per event, so a call with Grace is the best start: Tuesday 10:00 or Wednesday 14:00?

Guest numbers without the spreadsheet.

Guest lists live on a page linked to the client. Ask how many have said yes and Duke counts it, with who still hasn't answered.

How many guests have said yes for the Rahmans?

The apps event planners use

From first enquiry to the final invoice.

A pipeline for enquiries, proposals as quotes, a project board per event, pages for vendors and guests, and invoices in stages.

Enquiries

Every couple and company, at its stage.

Your own stages, for example Enquiry, Call booked, Proposal sent, Booked, Done. Each lead has a value and a next step, and late ones stand out.

  • Drag and drop between stages
  • A second pipeline for corporate events if you want one
A deals board with stages, values and a note that 5 leads need a next step

Shown: the deals board in Harbour Digital, our agency demo.
