Moving into 2011, two trends in wedding planning that continue to grow are destination weddings, and the need for brides and grooms to plan their wedding at their convenience — and not on the telephone.

The WeddingQuick Quote (WQQ) is the tool that enables venue shopping and wedding planning around the clock. Wedding venues increasingly understand that todayʼs clients are accustomed to using the information highway to shop and find instant answers to their questions. Brides are now likely to purchase wedding dresses on line. Grooms are likely to buy or rent suits or tuxedos on line. The internet is used to research and book the honeymoon, rehearsal dinner, and every other detail of the event. It was only a matter of time before we were finally able to find a venue on line.

The WQQ is a customized set of wedding planning pages that enables the shopper (bride, groom, wedding planner) to view the venueʼs unique offerings of amenities and services, choose the items (packages, menus, linens, setting…) to include, and immediately generate an estimated cost. The venue automatically receives a copy of the quote. In the process, the user gets acquainted with the venue, by seeing the offerings. Likewise, the catering professional who receives the quote understands the items that are important to the client, and her approximate budget. When the two get together, they can add a few personal touches, and quickly close the deal.

In planning destination weddings, problems resulting from time differences disappear. The venueʼs sales office is open 24/7. The destination venue that has the WQQ embedded on its homepage will always be the first to respond to a lead, and quickly book the business. As the first venue of 2011 to join WQQ, Orlandoʼs Grand Bohemian Hotel is looking forward to using WQQ to give brides and grooms access to their wedding arrangements in a more efficient and timely manner. They believe the WQQ will make clients feel like they have an integral part in the planning process, from the early stages.
