What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under email threads for every client consult on custom gala themes—it was killing our momentum on high-profile weddings. Now, the automation books site tours and vendor calls flawlessly, saving us about 10 hours a week. We closed two extra corporate events last quarter just from the time we regained, adding $75,000 to our revenue pipeline."
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Event Strategist at Elegant Affairs Events, a boutique firm specializing in luxury weddings and galas
"We used to have constant overlaps with venue scouts because of scattered calendars across our remote team. Their custom system syncs everything automatically and even flags time zone issues for our international conferences. It's cut our rescheduling headaches in half, and our error rate dropped from 15% to under 2% in three months, allowing us to secure three new global clients without overtime costs."
Mike Rodriguez
Director of Operations at Horizon Event Co., managing corporate conferences for Fortune 500 clients
"As a small firm, we couldn't afford scheduling mishaps on tight timelines for destination weddings. AIQ built this right into our workflow, handling follow-ups for vendor contracts without us lifting a finger. Last season, it helped us manage 30% more inquiries—from 120 to 156—without adding staff, boosting our net profit by 22% through efficient scaling."
Emily Chen
Founder and Principal Planner at Summit Celebrations, a firm focused on destination events and celebrations

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation integrate with my existing event management tools?
We start by mapping your current stack—whether it's tools like Planning Pod, Tripleseat, or even Google Workspace—and build direct, two-way API connections. This creates a single source of truth, pulling in client details from your CRM and pushing updates to project trackers. No more manual exports; everything syncs in real-time. For event firms, this means venue bookings auto-populate without re-entering data, saving hours per event. We've done this for over 50 planners, ensuring compatibility without disrupting your flow. The result? A unified system you own, reducing integration errors by 90% compared to patchwork solutions.
What kind of time savings can I realistically expect?
Based on our deployments, event planning companies see an immediate 10-15 hours saved per week per team member. This comes from automating repetitive tasks like availability checks and confirmations, which typically consume 20% of a planner's day. For a firm handling 20 events monthly, that's equivalent to adding a part-time staffer without the payroll hit. Industry data from similar automations shows a 250% ROI in the first year, with productivity boosts leading to 15-20% more billable events. We track this via custom metrics, adjusting as your workflow evolves to maximize gains.
Is the system customizable for different types of events, like weddings versus corporate?
Absolutely—customization is our hallmark. We design rules specific to your event mix, such as shorter slots for corporate mixers and buffer times for wedding tastings. The AI learns from your past bookings to suggest tailored options, like prioritizing mornings for vendor meetings. Unlike rigid templates, this adapts to your client segments, ensuring high-touch service for premium events. One client, a hybrid firm, reported 30% faster bookings after we tuned it for their dual focus. It's all built around your exact needs, with ongoing tweaks to keep it aligned.
How secure is the data in this scheduling system?
Security is non-negotiable in client-relationship businesses like event planning, where sensitive details like budgets and guest lists are involved. We use enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance with standards like GDPR and SOC 2. Your data stays in a fortified, custom-built environment—no third-party vulnerabilities. Features include audit logs for every booking change and automatic backups. We've audited systems for firms handling high-profile events, ensuring zero breaches. This peace of mind lets you focus on creativity, knowing client trust is protected at every step.
What happens if we need changes after launch?
Our partnership doesn't end at deployment. We provide 30 days of hands-on optimization, then ongoing support through a dedicated portal for requests. Whether it's adding new vendor integrations or refining AI suggestions based on seasonal shifts, changes are implemented swiftly—typically within 48 hours for minor tweaks. For major updates, like expanding to team-wide use, we scope it as a quick sprint. Clients appreciate this because event landscapes change fast; one firm adjusted for virtual events mid-pandemic without downtime. You're not locked in—you own the system and drive its evolution.
How long does it take to see ROI from this automation?
Most clients hit positive ROI within 1-2 months. For event planners, the math is straightforward: if manual scheduling costs $50/hour in lost productivity, saving 12 hours weekly yields $2,400 monthly value. Implementation takes 4-6 weeks, but quick wins like automated invites start delivering immediately. We benchmark against industry stats—firms using similar AI see 3x efficiency gains in Q1. Post-launch, our dashboard quantifies this, showing hours saved and revenue uplift. If it doesn't meet projections, we refine until it does, backed by our proven track record.
