RUNDOWN VS HONEYBOOK
HoneyBook was built for any creative business. Rundown was built for yours.
HoneyBook handles proposals and invoicing for photographers, coaches, and designers alike. It was never built to hold a seating chart, a shot list, or a wedding day timeline. Rundown was built for nothing else.
Founders Circle members keep a 30 percent lifetime discount. Only 15 seats.
THE WEDDING, START TO FINISH
One inquiry becomes a hundred moving pieces.
Here is where planners tell us HoneyBook stops helping, and where Rundown keeps going.
Inquiry
WITH HONEYBOOK
A polished inquiry form and pipeline built for any service business, not a wedding specifically.
WITH RUNDOWN
A pipeline built around wedding stages, with lead scoring, next best actions, and scope of services defined for each lead.
Planning
WITH HONEYBOOK
No floor plans, no shot lists, no guest coordination. Most planners add a second and third tool alongside it.
WITH RUNDOWN
Seating charts tied to specific runsheet events, plus a shot list manager shared with the couple and photographer.
Meetings
WITH HONEYBOOK
Notes live wherever you left them: a shared doc, an inbox, a notebook.
WITH RUNDOWN
Live meeting notes with AI extraction, reviewed by you before anything is committed to the file.
Wedding week
WITH HONEYBOOK
You export what you can and hand the rest off in a separate timeline tool.
WITH RUNDOWN
One timeline and one shot list, with seating charts you can show in the couple portal.
SIDE BY SIDE
