AI receptionist
The AI receptionist for events.
AILA — AI Lead Agent — is an AI receptionist for event venues and vendors. It answers every inquiry in seconds, 24/7, with your real availability, packages, and pricing, captures each prospect's details, and books tours and consultations directly onto your calendar. Your clients get an instant, warm answer; your mornings start with booked tours instead of a full inbox.
What does an AI receptionist do?
Everything a great front desk does for a new inquiry: greet the person, answer their questions ("Is our date available?", "What do your packages cost?", "How many guests can the space hold?") from your actual calendar and pricing, collect their contact and event details, and offer tour times. AILA holds the whole conversation, not just the hello.
A desk that never closes.
Couples and clients inquire at 11pm, on Sundays, on holidays. Usually at several vendors at once. AILA answers the moment the inquiry arrives, because the first real answer usually wins the tour. No missed evenings, no Monday backlog.
How is it different from an answering service?
An answering service takes a message; a chatbot follows a script. AILA answers with your information (live date availability, your packages, your prices, your booking rules) and finishes the job by putting a tour on your calendar. The conversation ends with something booked, not a note to call back.
AI receptionist vs virtual receptionist?
A virtual receptionist is a remote human answering your phone: real judgment and real warmth, billed by the minute or the call, and only as available as the service's hours. An AI receptionist is software: instant, around the clock, a flat monthly price, and answering from your actual calendar and pricing rather than a briefing sheet. The honest split: if most of your inquiries are phone calls, a human service covers a channel AILA doesn't answer. AILA works the written channels where most event inquiries arrive (WeddingPro, Zola, your website). Either way, the tour, the tasting, and the closing conversation belong to a person.
Which channels does it cover?
The places event inquiries actually come from: WeddingPro (The Knot + WeddingWire), Zola, and your own website. One receptionist, every front door. See how channels work.
Your team, doing what only people can.
AILA does the answering and the scheduling. Your people give the tours, pour the tastings, and win the booking. The receptionist work happens in seconds and in the background. The hospitality stays entirely yours.
Built for the events industry.
Wedding venues are where AILA started (see AILA for wedding venues), and the same receptionist works for caterers, photographers, planners, DJs, and florists: anywhere an inquiry deserves a real answer in seconds.
What does an AI receptionist cost?
AILA's Starter plan is free: 50 replies a month, no card required. Pro is $99/mo and Advanced is $249/mo, 20% off billed annually. See pricing for the full comparison.
