Hi! We're getting married in October next year and looking for a venue in the Winelands. About 120 guests

Congratulations! October in the Winelands is a beautiful choice. Let me check availability for you. Do you have a specific Saturday in mind, or are you flexible on the date?

Ideally the 17th or 24th of October

Great news — both dates are currently available! For 120 guests, our Vineyard Package includes the ceremony garden, reception hall, 6-hour venue hire, tables and chairs, and setup/breakdown. The rate is R45,000 for a Saturday. Catering, bar, and décor are separate. Would you like to book a venue tour to see the space?

Yes please! Can we come this weekend?

Perfect! I have slots on Saturday at 10:00 or 14:00, and Sunday at 11:00. Which works best? I'll send you directions and a list of questions to think about before the visit — it'll help us make the most of the tour.

Common challenges weddings & events businesses face without automation.

Couples and event planners contact 10+ venues and vendors simultaneously — the first to respond with clear pricing wins the booking

Peak season means hundreds of enquiries a week, all asking the same questions about availability, capacity, and packages

After-hours enquiries are the norm — couples plan weddings in the evenings and on weekends, when your office is closed

Voice notes describing elaborate event visions pile up unanswered because your team can't listen to them all during work hours

What Raimond does for weddings & events

Real use cases, not marketing fluff. Here's exactly how the bot helps your business.

Instant Availability Check

Couples ask about a date and get an instant answer — available, tentatively held, or booked. No waiting 48 hours for a callback that never comes.

Package & Pricing Info

Share detailed package options — ceremony only, reception, full-day, weekday vs weekend rates — instantly based on guest count and preferences.

Venue Tour Booking

Interested couples book a venue walkthrough directly on WhatsApp. The bot confirms the appointment and sends directions and a preparation checklist.

Vendor Coordination

Manage enquiries for photographers, DJs, florists, and caterers in one conversation. The bot qualifies requirements and provides relevant vendor recommendations.

Quote Follow-Up

Automatically follow up with couples who received a quote but haven't confirmed. Gentle check-ins at 3, 7, and 14 days recover bookings that would otherwise go cold.

Day-of Updates

Send logistics information to guests — directions, parking, dress code, schedule — via WhatsApp broadcast on the event day.
