Event Planning Assistant

AI generates event proposals and BEOs from client requirements

Event Proposals Take 3+ Hours Per Inquiry

Event coordinators spend 3-6 hours creating proposals: drafting menus, calculating costs, designing floor plans, creating BEOs. Manual errors in guest counts or menu pricing cost thousands. Slow proposal turnaround loses bookings to competitors. Complex events with multiple meal periods overwhelm coordinators.
