Weddings and events are booked far ahead
A client planning a wedding wants to lock a date long before it arrives. Set your working hours, mark holidays and days off, and give a specific day its own hours when you start before dawn for a bridal morning or finish late after an evening event.
Clients see only the dates and times that are really free, and they don’t have to register to book, so a date can be secured from your Instagram link at any hour.
Trial, lesson and event are three different bookings
A trial is shorter than a wedding morning, and a lesson is a different kind of session altogether. Add each as its own service with its real duration and price, group them in categories, and order the list the way you want clients to read it.
A bride can book the trial first and the event afterwards from the same page, each at the right length.
- Makeup trial
- Makeup lesson
- Event or evening makeup
- Bridal makeup
At your studio or on location
If you work from a studio, the booking page shows your address and a navigation link, along with your photo gallery, so clients see your style and know where to arrive.
If you travel, add on-location versions of your services with longer durations, and set a break between appointments to cover the move from one place to the next. Each team member also has a personal booking link of their own.
Confirmations, reminders and changes
Every booking sends a WhatsApp confirmation. On the Pro plan, automatic WhatsApp reminders go out from your business number in your own wording, which matters most for bookings made months in advance.
Clients can change or cancel from the link in their message, and the waiting list lets you offer a freed date to someone who was waiting, with one tap.

Questions
Can clients book a wedding date months in advance?
Yes. Clients see the free times you have set, including future dates, and can book from your link without registering.
Can I take an early morning booking on one specific day?
Yes. Give that day its own working hours, and clients will see early times only on that day while your usual hours stay the same.
Can I offer both studio and on-location bookings?
Yes. Create separate services for each, with the duration that suits it, and use the break between appointments to leave time for travel.
