Automate Your Event Planning Workflow with Custom AI Chatbots
Stop losing $10,000 contracts to slow response times. Our AI handles inquiry intake, vendor coordination, and budget tracking 24/7.
The event planning industry operates on razor-thin timelines and high-stakes communication. Whether managing a $50,000 wedding or a $250,000 corporate retreat, planners are often buried under a mountain of repetitive inquiries regarding venue capacity, vendor COIs, and alcohol licensing. Research shows that 78% of clients hire the first planner to respond to their inquiry, yet most planners are on-site at events and unable to answer calls during peak business hours.
Read Laboratories builds intelligent agents that bridge this gap. By integrating directly with your existing stack—including HoneyBook, Aisle Planner, and Planning Pod—our AI doesn't just 'chat'; it qualifies leads, checks your availability, and provides instant answers to complex logistical questions. We help you move from manual data entry to high-level creative execution by automating the first 50% of the client journey.
Problems We Solve
Lead Leakage During Events
When you are on-site for an 8-hour wedding, you can't answer the phone. Our AI captures and qualifies high-value leads in real-time, ensuring you never miss a $10,000 booking opportunity.
Vendor Coordination Fatigue
Automate the collection of liability insurance (COI) and load-in schedules from vendors. The AI can nudge vendors for missing paperwork without you sending a single email.
Repetitive FAQ Overload
Stop answering 'What is the guest capacity?' or 'Do you allow outside catering?' 20 times a day. The AI handles these queries instantly using your specific venue and service data.
Budget Tracking Friction
Clients are often anxious about spend. Our AI can pull data from your planning software to give clients instant updates on their current budget utilization and upcoming payment milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the AI distinguish between a corporate gala and a wedding inquiry?
Yes. We program custom logic branches that identify the event type immediately, ensuring corporate RFPs get the professional data they need while wedding leads receive a more personalized, warm tone.
Does it integrate with Planning Pod or AllSeated?
Absolutely. We use API connections to ensure that any data collected by the chatbot—like guest counts or vendor names—is pushed directly into your existing planning tools to prevent double-entry.
How does the AI handle last-minute emergency changes?
While the AI handles routine queries, it is programmed with an 'Emergency Escalation' trigger. If a client mentions a 'vendor no-show' or 'urgent change,' the AI immediately alerts your team via SMS.
Can it help with alcohol licensing and permit questions?
Yes, we can feed the AI your specific knowledge base regarding local regulations, ensuring it provides accurate advice on what permits are required for specific venues or public spaces.
Is the chatbot's tone customizable?
Yes. We fine-tune the AI's 'personality' to match your brand voice—whether that is luxury and refined for high-end weddings or efficient and data-driven for corporate event production.
Does it support multiple languages for destination weddings?
Yes, our AI can communicate fluently in over 50 languages, making it ideal for planners who handle international clients or destination events.
