The affordable event planning answering service
As an event planner, you pay meticulous attention to the details because that’s what it takes to create an unforgettable experience. With your head buried in the details, do you ever accidentally miss a call?
It happens to everyone. But, you may have missed out on a new client—or an important update from a current one.

You can even save money compared to other traditional answering services, where some people pay $300 per month just to cover less than 30 calls.
