Optional AI

Every couple feels like your only couple — even in peak season.

Simply Weddings is complete without AI. Turn it on and your team gets Ask Simply for instant answers across bookings, timelines, and payments — while your website answers couples’ questions the moment they are asked, checks real availability, and books tours. The falling-in-love part stays yours.

The ground rules

Four things that stay true, whatever you switch on.

AI in Simply Weddings was built the way we would want it used on our own team: opt-in, supervised, explainable, and priced in the open.

Optional

Off until you say otherwise

Simply Weddings is a complete product with AI turned off. Every AI feature is opt-in for your team — turn on what helps, skip what does not, and change your mind anytime. Nothing on this page is required.

Human

People decide; people answer

Ask Simply proposes — a person approves before anything changes. The website assistant answers — and hands the conversation to your team the moment someone asks for a person. AI here extends your people; it never replaces them.

Transparent

Answers show their work

Ask Simply cites the records behind every answer and previews every change before it happens. Website conversations land in your inbox with a per-answer trace for admins. Usage is metered visibly, spending caps are on by default, and every AI price is public on the pricing page.

Secure

Your permissions are the AI’s permissions

Ask Simply can only see what the signed-in person is allowed to see — enforced by the platform, not by the AI’s good manners. The website assistant knows only the information you connect. It all runs on the same AWS infrastructure as the rest of Simply Weddings, and your data is never used to train AI models.

Flavor one — for your team

Ask Simply: the colleague who read everything.

Ask Simply answers from your own bookings, couples, and vendor records — scoped to each team member’s permissions, with sources shown and every proposed change approved by a person.

The venue owner

“How is next season booking compared to this one?”

Booked dates, revenue on the books, and open prime Saturdays in one answer, with the live calendar linked.

The coordinator

“What is still open on the Hernandez wedding checklist?”

Timelines, vendor confirmations, and loose ends answered from the booking record — the 2 am worry list, checked in seconds.

The sales lead

“Which tour requests from this month never booked?”

The follow-up list with context and a drafted, warm check-in for each couple — the revenue that usually slips away in busy weeks.

The office manager

“Who has a final payment due before June 1?”

Payment schedules across every booking in one list, with reminder drafts that sound like you, not a bank.

The planner

“Draft a day-of timeline from the Rivera booking details.”

Timelines, vendor sheets, and schedules start from live booking data — you refine the art; it does the assembly.

The marketing hat

“Create an open-house page for the fall dates.”

Event pages drafted in your site’s style with the RSVP form wired in — from idea to reviewable draft in one ask.

From the big numbers to the missing-form chase to drafting the next page — if it lives in Simply Weddings, you can ask about it in plain language. See Ask Simply live in a demo

On the go

Your whole system, in a back pocket.

Mid-walkthrough, ask your phone “is October 18 next year still open, and what is the Saturday rate?” — Ask Simply is built into the Simply Anywhere mobile app, so answers keep up with a coordinator’s stride.

Chat turns out to be the perfect mobile interface for a system like this: no menus to hunt through, no laptop to open — just the question, the cited answer, and the approval, wherever the work is happening.

Flavor two — for the people you serve

A website that answers back — honestly.

Couples research venues at midnight, in seventeen tabs, with screenshots. A conversation widget on your site answers their questions honestly from what you publish, checks real availability, and books the tour — while making clear a human takes it from there.

A newly engaged couple

“Is June 14 available, and what does Saturday pricing look like?”

Availability from your live calendar and pricing from your published packages — the two questions every couple asks first, answered before they close the tab.

A detail-focused partner

“Can we bring our own caterer? What about candles?”

Your policies, explained clearly and consistently — the same right answer at midnight as at noon.

A couple ready to visit

“Can we see the venue next weekend?”

Tour scheduling through your real request form, mid-conversation — a structured inquiry your sales lead can act on in the morning.

A booked couple’s florist

“When can we load in?”

Load-in windows, insurance requirements, and logistics from your published vendor information — fewer week-of phone relays.

Tune it to your brand — romantic or refined, playful or formal — with words you love, words you avoid, and example answers that teach it your tone.

The assistant is always honest about being an assistant, and a human is always one ask away — because the fastest way to lose someone’s trust is to fake a person.

Your assistant, your rules

Customization, control, and a paper trail.

A public assistant speaks for you, so you hold the controls — what it knows, how it sounds, and what it is never allowed to do.

Voice

It sounds like you

Guidance and voice settings — tone, words to use, words to avoid, example answers — teach the assistant your way of speaking. Each widget can also choose a deeper or faster AI model.

Knowledge

It knows what you connect — nothing else

You choose the pages, knowledge articles, and workflows behind each widget. It answers from those, says so when it does not know, and cannot wander into data you did not connect.

Actions

Real actions, same safeguards

When a visitor registers, signs up, or pays, the assistant walks them through the same verified forms and payment flows as the rest of your site. It cannot write to your data any other way.

Handoff

People, one ask away

Visitors can reach your team at any point, and the assistant escalates on its own when it is unsure or the topic is sensitive. Conversations land in your inbox with full context — and offline hours are handled honestly.

Oversight

Every conversation, visible

Your team can read every conversation, see what the assistant consulted for each answer, test changes before publishing, and measure satisfaction — including the questions it could not answer, so you know what to publish next.

Budget

Costs with a ceiling

AI usage is metered transparently with spending caps on by default. Plans include monthly AI credit, and live website assistants carry a flat monthly price — all published on the pricing page.

Honest answers

If you never turn AI on, Simply Weddings is still Simply Weddings.

Taste, trust, and the tears at the first look are not automatable, and we would not try. The AI answers policies and paperwork so your team can be present for the couples.

And if you do turn it on, it stays optional forever — feature by feature, widget by widget, with visible usage, spending caps, and public prices.

Bring us peak season. We will make it feel simple.

Show us the inquiry inbox, the booking tracker, and the payment reminders you keep in your head. We will map them to Simply Weddings and show you the calmer version.
