A first consultation can drift into basics: the date, the place, the guest list. I would rather have couples answer those at home, so the meeting starts with their ideas and not with a clipboard.
Use this when
You plan weddings for other people and want facts before the first call. It also helps when two partners should answer separately.
Skip it when
You need a contract, a payment or a calendar to book the meeting. The form does none of these. It collects what the couple tells you and nothing more.
What is asked and why
- Both names and contact details: so you know who to call.
- Date, flexibility, area and guest estimate: to check availability and scale.
- Ceremony style and venue status: to see how much search work lies ahead.
- Help wanted: from full planning to month-of coordination.
- Priorities, up to three: so you know where effort goes.
- The day they picture: tone, colours and places, in their own words.
What a couple's AI would ask
"What are your names and wedding date?" Then "Is your venue booked?" Then "Which three things matter most?" It lists the answers and submits only after a yes. See agent-fillable forms.
Once a couple books, a wedding photography questionnaire helps the photographer. For other celebrations, use an event inquiry form. Guests can then send a song request form. More are in forms for weddings.
Questions
What does the priorities question do?
Couples pick up to three priorities, such as food, music or photos. That limit forces a real ranking, so you know where the budget and your effort should go.
Is this the same as an event inquiry form?
Not quite. An event inquiry form fits any event. This one speaks to couples: two names, ceremony style, wedding priorities and how much help they want.
Can both partners answer?
Yes. Each partner can open the same link and send a separate reply. Compare the two rows in the CSV to see where they agree and where they need a talk.
