Direct Communicating With Planners

First-hold helps planners check availablity at your venue, send an inquiry about their preferred date, and start a conversation with you (directly). When a professional planner inquires about a date at your venue, you’re sent their contact info in an email so that you can reach out to them and close the business your way. 

Can a planner also contact me directly?

Yes. The planner will also receive an email with your contact info so they can reach out to you with questions or to schedule a site inspection.

Accidently deleted the email with the planner's contact information? No problem. 

You can access the planners contact information through your dashboard, go to your holds & bookings screen by clicking on the indicator on the upper left side of your dashboard and then click the planners name. 

First-hold answers critical questions from planners automatically for you, then allows planners to place holds on your space immediately—securing your spot in more client proposals. That means you can focus on delivering a great venue experience and get a good night’s sleep at the end of the day, because first-hold works even when you’re busy doing something else.
