The Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

See Canyon Fruit Ranch<\/a> is a family-run apple farm and wedding venue business on the Central Coast of California. \u201cWe love to share our little slice of heaven with people,\u201d says venue manager Hannah Kenny. But while the property is idyllic, their internal systems to book clients weren\u2019t as blissful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Hannah took over as the venue manager, See Canyon Fruit Ranch handled all of their bookings, including contracts and payments, by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The inefficient booking process wasted Hannah\u2019s time and prospective clients\u2019time, preventing the venue business from landing more weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore HoneyBook, the average time was around a month or longer from inquiry to booking,” Hannah says. “This was because we would send contracts by mail and have to wait for a check to be mailed (sometimes from across the country or world) from the client as well. On average we would usually wait around a month for checks to be received.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HoneyBook to the Rescue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was talking with a friend about some administrative problems I was having, and she told me about HoneyBook’s business management solutions designed for venues<\/a>. As soon as we got it, it was a huge time saver and also opened up so many great opportunities for clients,\u201d Hannah says. \u201cOn average, we would book around 15 weddings per year. After joining HoneyBook, that went up to around 20 weddings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
