How to get an event brief with date, guests, venue and menu before you quote

This template collects what you need to propose an event: type, date, duration, guests, venue, food and extra services. Your client confirms those details and approves the proposal separately, so you know which guest count and menu the deal closed on.

Included in the 14-day trial, no card needed.

You can try it here without an account.

The problem

An event gets quoted from a long conversation: the date in one message, “about 150” guests in another, the venue still undecided and the taco bar that later becomes a plated dinner. When the guest count goes up two weeks before, nobody can say which number the budget was approved for, and the difference gets argued on the day of the event.

When to use it

  • You plan weddings, quinceañeras, baptisms, birthdays or corporate events.
  • You offer plated dinners, taco bars, canapés, open bar or dessert tables, and quote by guest count.
  • Some clients already have a venue and others ask you for recommendations.
  • Your clients often change the guest count or menu after approving the proposal.

How it works

  1. 1. Adjust the brief

    Start from the event brief template. Change the event types, menu or extra services you offer, and publish it. Eventos Jacaranda, for example, can load its packages into the catalog to quote faster later.

  2. 2. Share it

    Add a button to your website or embed an intake form to receive new events, or send the link by email or a prepared WhatsApp message. Your client answers from their phone and uploads inspiration photos.

  3. 3. Confirm and approve

    Your client confirms the event details and approves the proposal. If the guest count changes later, the details confirmation reopens, and the proposal reopens when you adjust it to the new number.

The template, question by question

This is how it arrives in your workspace. Change questions, options and approvals to fit the way you work.

What it asks

It starts with name, phone and email. Then the event: the type, with an extra question for Other, the date, start time, duration in hours and an estimated guest count. Next it asks whether they already have a venue: if so, it asks for the name, address and type of space; if not, it asks which area or city they are looking in. Food and drinks follow, where they pick at least one option, with dietary restrictions only if there will be food, plus extra services such as music, decoration, furniture, photo and video or lighting. Finally it asks for a budget in MXN ranges, inspiration photos and notes. The details confirmation covers type, date, time, duration, guests, venue, food and services; the proposal approval depends on the quote.

Common mistakes

  • Quoting with a vague guest count

    Ask for an estimate from the start and let the client confirm it before you close the proposal.

  • Forgetting dietary restrictions

    Vegetarian guests, allergies or a kids' menu change the kitchen plan. The template asks only when there will be food.

  • Recommending a venue without knowing the area

    If the client has no venue, ask which area or city they are looking in before you propose.

  • Accepting last-minute changes without a record

    If the guest count changes, make sure it is in the request with the before and after, not in a message.

Frequently asked questions

Can the proposal include packages and extras?

Yes. You build it from your catalog with packages, optional extras the client chooses, discounts, IVA 16% and an expiry date, and it goes out as a branded PDF.

What happens if the guest count goes up after approval?

The details confirmation reopens and you see the old number next to the new one. When you adjust the proposal, your client approves it again, and the earlier agreement stays in the history.

How do I collect a deposit?

You add your own payment link or bank details to the request and your client uploads their receipt. Promptusphere never handles the money.

Does my client need an account?

No. They open the link, confirm their email with a 6-digit code and answer from their phone, without paying anything.

Can I try it without paying?

Yes. You get a 14-day trial with no card and every template. After that it costs MXN 299 per month, VAT included.
