Wedding & event inquiry form template

By Nicole Adams, founder of Rundown · Updated November 7, 2026

A good wedding inquiry form asks for names and contact details, the event date, location, guest count, the services they want, a budget range, and how they found you. Keep it to 10 to 15 questions and save the rest for your questionnaire after they book. Pick the events you plan and the services you offer to get yours.

Which questions tell you if an inquiry fits

Four answers tell you most of what you need before you reply: the date, the services they want, the guest count and the budget range. If the date is taken or the budget is far below your starting point, you can answer kindly and quickly. If all four line up, that inquiry goes to the top.

Rundown shows you which inquiries fit, so you know who to answer first. See how Pipelines works

Wedding planner questionnaire: what to ask after they book

An inquiry form decides whether to talk. A questionnaire comes after the contract and goes deep. Cover:

  • Key people: parents, wedding party, who to call on the day

  • Priorities and must-haves, and what they don’t care about

  • Style, colors and the feel they want

  • Ceremony details: officiant, readings, traditions

  • Reception moments: entrance, toasts, dances, cake, send-off

  • Guest needs: dietary, accessibility, kids, travel

  • Vendors booked and still needed

  • Budget split and who is paying for what

Questions planners ask about inquiry forms

What should a wedding inquiry form ask?

Names, email, date, location, guest count, services wanted, budget range, and how they found you. Add a free-text “what matters most” question so your reply can be personal.

Should I ask for budget on an inquiry form?

Yes. Use ranges, not an open box. Ranges get more honest answers and save both sides a call that was never going to work.

How many questions should an inquiry form have?

10 to 15. Each extra question costs you some inquiries, so keep only the ones that change your reply.

What is the difference between an inquiry form and a questionnaire?

The inquiry form comes first and checks fit. The questionnaire comes after booking and gathers what you need to plan.

Should the date be required?

Yes, with a “not set yet” option. Early couples still inquire, and you still want to hear from them.

Can I use this form in Rundown?

Yes. Start free and set it up as your inquiry form; new inquiries land in your pipeline.
