Give clients an answer while they're ready to book.

Couples and event planners often want to know one thing before going any further: are you free on their date? Your availability calendar gives them useful information immediately.

  • Reduce basic availability emails
  • Give visitors an immediate next step
  • Keep enquiries moving while interest is high

Rather than ending the journey after showing a date, use the calendar as part of your enquiry workflow and encourage interested clients to provide the details you need.

  • Encourage visitors to enquire after checking their date
  • Collect useful booking information
  • Reduce unnecessary back-and-forth
  • Move prospective clients towards the next stage

One booking doesn't have to block your entire day.
Flexible availability

One booking doesn't have to block your entire day.

You decide how dates appear. If you can accept multiple events on the same day, a date can still be shown as available or invite the client to speak with you.

  • Choose how booked dates are displayed
  • Use Available, Speak With Us or Unavailable states
  • Support businesses that take multiple bookings per day
  • Block dates manually when you aren't taking work
Services

Show availability around the services you actually offer.

Availability doesn't have to apply identically across your entire business. Configure it around selected services when different packages or line-ups can be booked independently.

  • Apply availability to all or selected services
  • Keep another package available when one is already booked
  • Support different line-ups and service combinations
  • Give clients more accurate availability information
