Automated follow-ups

6 smart email automations — follow-up sequences, countdown reminders, review requests — that run without you lifting a finger.

Budgets & payments

Track estimated vs. actual per category. Log payment schedules and mark deposits paid. Always know where the money stands.

Client portal

Every client gets a private link to view their checklist, day-of timeline, and files. They stay informed, you stay sane.

Vendor database

Save your go-to photographers, florists, caterers, and DJs. Search by category, filter by rating, pull up contact info fast.

All the features. None of the HoneyBook price tag.

HoneyBook raised prices 89.5% in 2025 — its Starter plan now runs $29–36/month, scaling to $129/month for Premium, plus 2.9% + 25¢ per card payment on top. Event Planner CRM is built specifically for planners — no bloat, no confusion, no contracts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best CRM for event planners on a budget?

EventPlannery is a free-to-start CRM built specifically for event and wedding planners, covering client management, proposals, budgets, vendor databases, guest lists, and floor-plan seating charts in one connected system — without HoneyBook's per-transaction fees or $29–129/month subscription tiers.

Is there a free alternative to HoneyBook for wedding planners?

Yes. EventPlannery offers a free-to-start plan with no credit card required, covering client management, proposals, automated follow-up emails, and a branded client portal — the same core workflow HoneyBook charges $29–36/month for at its Starter tier.

Does EventPlannery include guest list and seating chart tools?

Yes. EventPlannery includes a true-to-scale, drag-and-drop floor-plan builder with guest list management, RSVP tracking, and seat assignment — features HoneyBook does not offer at any tier.

How is EventPlannery different from Aisle Planner or Folia?

EventPlannery combines full event-day logistics (guest lists, seating charts, budgets, vendor coordination) with a business-operations layer most wedding-day-focused tools lack: a CRM pipeline, lead-nurture email automation, AI-assisted document import, and a finance dashboard — plus brand customization for the planner's own business.
