More enquiries. Better enquiries. More dates in the diary. Fast, beautiful websites for event companies, planners and venues, with galleries that sell the experience and enquiry forms that ask the right questions. £1,000 to start, then from £200 a month, and after 12 months the website is yours to keep.
People booking an event are buying something they can’t try first. A wedding, a corporate party, a milestone birthday, a launch. They need to picture it, trust you with it and know roughly what it costs, all before they get in touch.
Most event company websites make that harder. Here’s how.
Your best work is buried in a slow gallery, or on Instagram only, or squashed into tiny thumbnails that load one at a time on a phone.
No packages, no “from” prices, no idea whether you do 40 guests or 400. People who can’t work out if you’re right for them don’t ask. They move on.
Name, email, message. So the first reply is a list of questions, the conversation stalls, and the couple or the office manager books someone who replied faster.
Events are about atmosphere. A clunky website that takes an age to load says the opposite of what you want it to say.
A great event website does what a great show-round or first meeting does: it sells the feeling. It answers the obvious questions. And it gets a date in the diary.
Hale Events. We’ve worked with Hale Events for two years, so we know how an events business runs: the seasonal peaks, the enquiries that arrive at 11pm, and the questions every client asks before they book.
Large, fast-loading galleries of your best work, organised so people can find what’s relevant to them: weddings, corporate, private parties, or by room and season if you’re a venue. Every image is optimised so it looks sharp and loads quickly on a phone.
A short film of an event says more than a page of words. We add video so it plays smoothly without slowing the page down, whether it’s a showreel, a venue walkthrough or a highlights clip.
Clear packages, or at least a sense of what things cost, help people decide you’re right for them before they ask. Fewer time-wasting enquiries, more serious ones. If every event is bespoke, we’ll explain how pricing works instead.
A short form that asks what you actually need to know: date, number of guests, type of event, budget and location. You get better enquiries, you can reply with a real answer straight away, and every enquiry is tracked so you know where it came from. If you use a booking or availability system, we’ll talk through showing it on the website.
Kind words from past clients, shown where people are making their decision, next to the packages and the enquiry form. For couples and corporate clients alike, proof from someone like them is what tips the decision.
Weddings, corporate events, parties and festivals are different audiences with different questions. Each gets its own page, its own photos and its own words, so people feel you’re speaking to them.
Recommended suppliers, parking, accessibility, timings, capacity and what’s included. Answering these on the website saves you hours of emails and makes you look organised before you’ve even met.
New packages for Christmas, open days, a fresh gallery after a big event. Small changes are included for your first 12 months, so you send them over and we handle it.
For event businesses who know what they want to say.
From £200a month for 12 months, after £1,000 to start
For event teams who are flat out, especially in peak season.

There’s no VAT to add, because we’re not VAT registered. After 12 months, stay with us for £49 a month for hosting and care, or take the website anywhere, free. If you’d rather we handled the move, it’s a one-off £250. Prefer to pay in full? It’s £3,000, saving £400.
Not an events business, but a business like yours that lives on visual work and enquiries. After we rebuilt their website around enquiries, Wrapd doubled their conversion rate and halved their cost per enquiry, adding 338 leads compared with the same period the year before. Your enquiry form gets the same attention, and the same hands-on care.
Event planning starts on Google: “wedding venues in Cheshire”, “corporate event company Manchester”, “party planner near me”. The businesses that show up first get the first enquiries, and in events the first reply often wins the booking.
Your Google Business Profile, done properly. The right categories, lots of good photos and a steady flow of reviews. For venues especially, your profile is often the first thing people see. It’s included in the done-for-you option.
Pages for each area you cover. If you run events across the North West, each area you serve can have its own page, so you show up when people search with a place in mind.
Pages for each type of event. “Wedding planner”, “corporate event management” and “birthday party venue” are different searches. A page for each gives Google a clear match and gives the person searching exactly what they came for.
Content that follows the calendar. Christmas party bookings start in the summer, and wedding planning starts a year or more ahead. Articles and pages published at the right time catch people as they start looking.
Content plans, SEO, local SEO and Google Ads have a 6-month minimum, then roll month to month.
The Marketing Guys is Dan and Jordan. Dan designs and builds every website and looks after the SEO. Jordan handles strategy, content and Google Ads, with ten years in paid search behind him. Design, development and marketing under one roof, with twenty years of experience between us. You deal with us directly, as a genuine partner in your business.
We’re a Manchester web design team, based in Whitefield, Bury, and most of our work happens over video call. That fits around a diary full of events.
Anything else, just ask. You’ll get a straight answer from one of us.
With us, £1,000 to start, then from £200 a month for 12 months, so from £3,400 in total. That covers design, build, hosting, care and small changes for the first year. Then the website is yours to keep. If you’d like us to write every page, the done-for-you option is from £900 on top. There’s no VAT to add.
If you use a booking or calendar system, we’ll look at how it can show on your website and confirm on the first call. If you don’t, a well-designed enquiry form that asks for the date up front does the job, and you reply with availability.
Not the way we build it. Every image is resized and compressed for the screen it’s shown on, and video only loads when it’s needed. Big, beautiful galleries. Still quick on a phone.
Yes. Venue website design follows the same approach, with extra focus on rooms, capacity, packages, show-round bookings and the practical questions couples ask. We build for venues, planners, caterers and event production companies too.
We usually recommend at least “from” prices or example packages. They help people decide you’re right for them, so you get fewer enquiries that go nowhere and more that turn into bookings. If every event is bespoke, we’ll explain how pricing works instead, so nobody feels in the dark.
You can, but you don’t have to. Send us the photos and a few words and we’ll add them as part of your plan for the first 12 months.
No hard sell. Just an honest conversation about your website, what we’d change and a clear price. It’s over the phone or video, so it fits around your events, even in peak season.
