Stop Losing Event Clients to"I'll Think About It"
The average event inquiry waits 4 days for a quote. By then, they've already called your competitor. Give them a detailed price breakdown in 90 seconds—while they're still excited about their event.
Here's What's Actually Happening
Every day, event professionals and clients are stuck in an outdated quoting process that wastes everyone's time.
Sarah fills out your inquiry form at 9 PM on Sunday. You don't see it until Monday. You email back Tuesday with "Can we schedule a call?" By then, she's already had consultations with two other planners. By the time you send a quote on Thursday, she's signed with someone else.
You just lost a $15,000 booking because your quote took 4 days.
You're planning your company's annual conference. Your boss asks, "What's this going to cost?" You contact five planners. Three never respond. One sends back "pricing starts from $8,000". Another wants to "hop on a 30-minute discovery call" first.
It's been two weeks and you still can't tell your boss if the event is $10K or $50K.
You are organizing a fundraising gala. The board needs a budget for approval, but vendors are slow to respond. You need to show sponsors a clear cost breakdown, but all you have are vague estimates. Time is running out before your grant application deadline.
You risk looking unprofessional and missing funding opportunities due to a lack of a clear, immediate budget.
You get dozens of inquiries a week. Most are just tire-kickers. You spend hours writing detailed proposals for weddings that have a $5,000 budget for your $20,000 venue. You're chasing leads that were never going to convert.
You lose productive hours on proposals that go nowhere, instead of focusing on high-value clients.
The Game Changer
We're not just faster—we're solving the fundamental trust and timing problem in event pricing.
Same Scenario, Different Outcome
Sarah visits your website at 9 PM Sunday. She clicks "Get Quote" and answers 4 simple questions:
- What type of event? → Wedding
- How many guests? → 100-200
- What services? → Catering, Photography, Venue
- Budget range? → $10K-$25K
"Perfect! This fits my budget. Let me save this quote and schedule a call."
✨ She books a consultation while still on your website. You just captured a qualified lead in 2 minutes instead of losing them in 4 days.
"But There Are Already Quote Calculators Out There..."
True. And they all have the same fatal flaws. Here's a direct comparison.
| Feature | Most Calculators | Ann & Co. Events |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Specificity | Gives uselessly wide ranges like "$5,000 - $45,000". | Factors in event type, guest count, and service complexity for a realistic target number. |
| Calculation Method | A number appears with no explanation. You have no idea how it was calculated. | See every calculation: base costs, guest multipliers, service fees, and taxes. Total transparency. |
| Fees & Taxes | Final invoices are inflated with hidden "coordination fees" and "admin charges". | Our quotes include our service fee and estimated taxes upfront. What you see is what you get. |
