Wedding venues: Temple House · Co. Sligo

Wedding venue software

Wedding venue software that turns a website form into a €30k booking.

A wedding configurator prices the day live. The quote is in the couple's inbox in minutes. A deposit link holds the date. Then the guests plan their own rooms, meals and the morning after.

In short

Steward is wedding venue software for country houses, estates and exclusive-use venues in Ireland and the UK. Couples price their day on your own website, get a quote they can pay a deposit on, and plan rooms, meals and RSVPs in a guest hub. Your team works every enquiry from one wedding venue CRM, and the balance is collected on schedule from the card saved with the deposit.

Wedding venue software

What changes for wedding venues.

01

A booking system couples can use at midnight

Date, nights, guest numbers, rooms, catering, bar and extras, priced live from your own venue fee ladder and menus. The couple sees a real number before they have spoken to anyone.

02

Venue fee, tiers and packages

Flat or tiered venue fees, per-person dinner and bar packages, wedding-only deposit rules. Day weddings skip the overnight steps.

03

Guests as a group

RSVPs, room allocation, meal choices and dietaries collected in the guest hub. Place cards and a staff event pack come from the same data.

04

Payments across a year

Deposit, then staged balance payments charged on time from the couple's saved card. Bank transfers recorded against the same booking.

From the Ballinderry tables

Ballinderry's wedding enquiries average 52 guests and €10.5k estimated value at the point of enquiry.

The tools that do it

What wedding venues run on.

Website & configurators

A venue booking website that sells the estate, not a room grid with your logo on it.

Every Steward site is built around the enquiry: landing pages for the searches your guests already make, and configurators that let a couple, a team or a hen party build their stay and see the price before they've spoken to anyone.

Questions

Wedding venues, answered.

What is wedding venue software?
Wedding venue software is the system a venue uses to take enquiries, quote, hold dates, take deposits and balances, and organise the guests. Steward does all of that and also runs the booking website on the venue's own domain and the Google Ads that send couples to it.
Can couples see a price before they enquire?
Yes. The wedding configurator prices the date, guest numbers, rooms, catering, bar and extras live from the venue's own rates, so the couple sees a number on the website and can ask for that quote.
How do wedding deposits and balances work on Steward?
The couple pays the deposit on the quote page and their card is saved. The balance is split into staged payments, and each one is charged automatically when it falls due. Each venue sets its own deposit percentage per event type. Our guide to wedding venue deposits and payment plans covers the options.
Does Steward replace wedding directories like Hitched or Bridebook?
It doesn't need to. Directory enquiries can land in the same CRM. The difference is that couples who find you on Google book on your own site, where the relationship stays with you.
Which wedding venues use Steward?
Ballinderry Park in County Galway, where Steward was built, and Temple House in County Sligo.
