The venue that quotes first wins the deal

Event planners compare three to five venues. While you're still formatting a document, they've already picked someone faster. Create stunning proposals in minutes, not hours.

Product Catalog

Menus, packages, spaces — pick them and assemble the quote in a few clicks.

Prefilled quotes

Joinways drafts a quote from the inquiry; you approve it before it goes out.

E-Signatures

Legally binding signatures from any device.

Invoicing & Deposits

Generate invoices and collect deposits in one click.

Prefilled quote

The inquiry lands, the quote is already drafted

As soon as an inquiry becomes an event, Joinways reads its details and drafts a quote from your catalog and your past signed quotes. No more starting from a blank page — you start from a draft and fine-tune it, and nothing goes out without you.

The inquiry is read for you

Date, guest count, budget and event type are picked up automatically from every inquiry, whether email, Instagram or WhatsApp.

A quote drafted from your history

Joinways pulls the right items from your catalog and leans on your signed quotes to anchor the pricing — spaces, menus, extras, all already costed.

You stay in control

The draft waits for you in the Quotes tab. You adjust, approve and send. Automatic when the event is created, or on demand, but never without your say-so.

Build it yourself

Or build it exactly the way you want

Start from the prepared draft or from a blank quote — either way, you stay in control. Your product catalog, your branding, your pricing rules: everything is editable, right down to the line.

Product catalog

Venues, menus, services, packages: all pre-configured with prices and descriptions. Each line carries its own VAT rate (20% on the room rental, 10% on catering, for example): totals excl. tax, VAT and incl. tax are calculated for you.

Margin calculation

Set your costs and watch your margin update in real time. Know exactly what you're making on every quote.

Branded output

Your logo, your colors, your terms and conditions — professional proposals every time.

Long sales cycles

And when the decision takes eight months

A wedding gets toured in spring, held as an option in June and signed in September for the following summer. In between, follow-up makes the difference, not how fast you hit send. Joinways keeps the thread for you.

The option holds the date, the quote holds the terms

The slot goes on the calendar as an option, visible to the whole team, and the quote carries its validity date. Nobody resells that Saturday by mistake.

The follow-up goes out even if you forget

An automation can follow up when an event has sat in option status for a number of days you choose. A ready-made template is included: you adjust the wording and the delay.

Deposit at booking, balance before event day

Deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, security deposit, payment terms, accepted methods: the conditions appear on the quote, and the deposit and balance invoices are generated from the signed quote.

Amendments

When the event changes, the signed quote keeps up

The headcount changes, an extra gets added the day before. Create an amendment from the signed quote, have it signed online, and the invoice follows — without redoing the quote or unpicking the original agreement.

Amendments in a few clicks

Start from the signed quote and adjust only the lines that change — headcount, extras, timings. The client re-signs online and the amendment supersedes the original quote.

The change, clear on both sides

Before/after totals and modified lines are highlighted. The client only approves the change; all other terms stay unchanged.

Invoicing stays aligned

Deposits already paid stay attached to the original quote, and only the balance is re-invoiced on the amendment. The full history stays with the event.

Why speed wins in event sales

Real scenarios where being first makes the difference.

Corporate event, tight deadline

They're comparing 4 venues and need to present to their CEO tomorrow. You send a polished proposal in 5 minutes while competitors are still formatting Word documents. First to quote, first to close.

Tour in April, wedding in June the following year

The couple tours on Saturday and you send the quote before they leave the parking lot. The event stays on option, the follow-up goes out on its own, and the date isn't resold in the meantime. They sign, the deposit is paid online, and that Saturday is locked.

Client ready to commit

They love the proposal. Instead of printing, signing, and scanning, they click one button. Legally binding signature captured, confirmation email sent in real time. No friction, no delays.

Signed tonight, invoice sent

They love the proposal and want to lock in the date. They sign, you generate the invoice and payment link in one click. No back-and-forth, no 'I'll send you a bank transfer tomorrow' that never comes.

What is quoting software for events?

It's a tool that turns an inquiry into a proposal that's ready to sign. You build the quote from a catalog of spaces, menus and services, and the client views it online and signs it electronically. Quote, follow-ups, signature and invoice all stay in one flow.

Unlike a Word template or a spreadsheet, the catalog carries your prices, your descriptions and your costs. The quote comes together in minutes, the margin is calculated as you go, and the layout stays polished on every send.

For a venue, two timelines coexist. A corporate seminar is decided in 48 hours: the first to send a proposal often wins the contract. A wedding is decided over several months: what wins is the option that holds, the follow-up that goes out anyway, and the amendment signed when the guest count firms up. Joinways covers both.

From catalog to deposit, in four steps

  1. 01

    Build

    Pick spaces, menus and services from your catalog, or let Joinways pre-fill the quote from the inquiry. Prices and descriptions are already there.

  2. 02

    Send

    The client receives an online proposal in your own branding, readable on any device. You can see when it's opened.

  3. 03

    Get it signed

    The e-signature takes one click: no printing, no scanning, and legal validity is covered.

  4. 04

    Collect

    Invoice and deposit are generated from the signed quote, with a payment link. The date is locked in on the calendar.

Why not a Word or Excel quote?

Because every quote becomes one more document to format, to version, to chase by hand. And the cost of a slip-up is real: a proposal sent too late, an old version signed, a follow-up that never went out.

With an online quote linked to the event, the latest version is the only one, you can see when it's been opened, and the follow-up is drafted at the right moment, ready for you to send. Your time goes into the client relationship, not the paperwork.

Frequently asked questions about quotes

How long does it take to create a quote?
A few minutes. You pick spaces, menus and services from your catalog — prices and descriptions are already configured, so the quote builds itself.
Is the e-signature legally valid?
Yes. Your client views the proposal online and signs from any device, with no printing or scanning. Legal validity is provided by SignatureAPI.
Can I customize my proposals?
Yes. Your logo, colors and terms apply to every proposal. The client views it online, with no PDF to download.
What happens after the signature?
You generate the invoice and deposits in one click from the signed quote, with a payment link. From proposal to payment, everything stays in one flow.
Can I track my margin on each quote?
Yes. Set your costs in the catalog: the margin is calculated continuously while you build the quote. You know what you earn before you send.
Can I send a quote from my phone?
Yes. Because the quote is built from your catalog, you can send a complete one from your phone as easily as from a computer — handy right after a site visit.
Can I edit a quote I already sent?
Yes. Until the quote is signed, you edit it and the client always sees the current version online. Once it's signed, changes go through an amendment that's signed in turn, so the agreement stays clear for both sides.
Do I know when the client has viewed my quote?
Yes. You can see when the proposal was opened. A quote viewed several times with no reply deserves a call; a quote that was never opened deserves a follow-up — drafted in Joinways and sent by you.
Can I collect a deposit at signature?
Yes. From the signed quote, you generate the deposit invoice with a Stripe payment link. The client pays online and the date is confirmed on the calendar: no promised bank transfer that never arrives. If an amendment later changes the quote, the balance is recalculated automatically: deposits already paid stay locked.
Can Joinways generate the quote for me?
Yes. Joinways drafts a quote from the inquiry using your catalog and your past signed quotes: it reads the date, guest count and budget, then suggests the items and pricing. The draft lands in the Quotes tab, where you adjust and approve it before anything is sent. Nothing goes out on its own.
My wedding sales cycle lasts over a year. Does speed really matter?
Speed matters at the start: a couple writing to five venues reads the same-day replies first. After that, other mechanisms take over: the option that blocks the date, the quote's validity date, the follow-up triggered when nothing moves, and the amendment that updates the signed quote when the headcount firms up. You never rebuild the quote, and you never lose the thread.
Can I include my cancellation terms and security deposit?
Yes. The quote carries your contractual terms and payment conditions: deposit, security deposit, payment terms, accepted methods, validity date. These are the conditions your client accepts when signing online.
