Event planner CRM and invoicing software

You hold vendors, timelines and budgets for every client. Smarfle keeps them on the client record, collects deposit payments and bills the balance on time.

Event planning scheduling software

Consultations and site visits book into open times online, and each event sits on its date with the planner who owns it.

Event planning billing software

Retainers and payment plans charge the client's saved card on the dates you set, each with its own invoice.

Event planning invoicing software

Invoices build from your package and add-on lines with the deposit credited, and clients pay online by card from a link.

Calls, reviews and your event planning website in one account

Event planner call tracking

Couples and companies call several planners. Each call shows which ad or page brought it in, and the ones you miss are texted back.

Reviews and Google Business Profile

Couples and companies are asked for a review after the event, and future clients read those before a consultation.

Website and lead follow-ups

Inquiries through your website arrive with the date and guest count, and proposals nobody signed get automated reminders.

Three event planning problems Smarfle fixes

✕

Vendor confirmations that slip

Track each vendor's confirmation in custom fields on the client, and set a reminder before the cutoff date.

✕

Timelines spread across documents

Save the run of show as a checklist on the service, so every event opens with the same sequence to tick off.

✕

Budget talks at the worst moment

Proposals and contracts carry every line and the deposit, and the client signs before you book vendors, so the number is agreed early.

Four ways to answer event planning calls

Choose how the number answers while you are running an event. Missed calls get a text back or the AI, and each call lands on the client.

Plain forwarding

$0.04/min

Rings your phone, and every call is logged as answered or missed.

Forward with call tracking

$0.10/min

Rings your phone; calls are recorded, transcribed and saved to the customer.

Busy message and text-back

~$0.05/call

Plays your message, then texts the caller. Replies land in your Inbox.

AI receptionist

$0.25/min

The AI answers, qualifies the caller and books the job, day or night.

Spam screening comes with every mode. Unknown callers press a key before the call connects, and screened calls cost nothing. How spam screening works

Everything Smarfle does for an event planner

1

Questions about your events, answered

Ask Smarfle answers questions about your own events and invoices in plain language, and proposes changes you confirm first.

2

Floor plans and agreements on file

Upload vendor agreements and floor plans to the client's private folder, and share one file when it is needed.

3

Profit on every event

Vendor costs and your hours post to each event beside the invoice total, with the profit worked out.

Checklists on every event

Event planning CRM on the day itself

Planning is mostly follow-through. Billable hours, an edit history, saved emails and a second office help the business side keep up.

Planner hours that get billed

Planners log minutes on each event at their hourly rate, and billable time carries onto the invoice.

When two people remember it differently

Every note and status change on an event carries the person and the time, so the record settles the question.

Emails you stop rewriting

Save the booking welcome and final-details emails as templates with merge fields, and send one in two taps.

A second office for another city

On Starter and above, a second location gets its own planners, calendar and phone number, with one picker between them.

Get more clients for your event planning business

Event planning lead generation

One wedding is worth more than most planners spend finding clients all year. Smarfle finds the couples and companies searching in your area and sends the event type, the date, and the size with the request. You take the ones that fit your calendar.

Flat pricing per accepted lead

Event Planning leads run about $30 each. You see the job and ZIP first, then accept or pass free, with no lead budget or bidding.

When leads start

Google needs time to rank the pages we add around you, so plan for up to two months. You pay per lead, never for waiting.

Requests arrive pre-qualified

Each request comes with the customer's answers to “What kind of event?” and “How many guests?”, so your callback quotes the job instead of interviewing.

Fair by design

Your existing customers and repeat requests are always free, and a bad lead can be disputed for a wallet refund.

What planners ask before choosing event planning software

No. There are no room layouts or seating tools. Keep your layout product and file the exported plan in the client's folder.
On the business side, largely, with clients, proposals with deposits, invoicing, the client page and files. For mood boards, seating and guest tools, keep a planning app.
No. There is no vendor role. Vendor contacts and confirmation status go in fields on the client, and you share files with vendors yourself.
There is no RSVP tool or guest list. The headcount lives in a field you update, and responses come from your invitation tool.
Yes. Pin Smarfle to the home screen from the phone's browser. A planner's field view holds notes and status changes made in a dead ballroom and sends them from the lobby.
Little, since both counts stay small, two planner logins and a client list you can name. Texts and emails are added as you send them.
No. Planners export clients, events and invoices to a CSV for their bookkeeper.
No. Assistants on the technician role see only their assigned events and those clients, never prices or invoices.
