# Sonas

> Wedding venue management software built exclusively for wedding venues. Sonas helps venues book more weddings, reduce admin, and scale operations.

Sonas (meaning "happiness and good fortune" in Irish) is an all-in-one SaaS platform designed specifically for wedding venues—not generic event spaces, not hotels, not caterers. This wedding-only focus enables purpose-built features that generalist competitors lack.

## Core Product

Sonas provides wedding venues with:

- **Lead Management & CRM**: Centralised inbox, automated follow-ups, lead source tracking, enquiry forms, self-service tour booking
- **Couples Planning Portal**: Branded portal where couples manage guest lists, menus, dietary requirements, seating plans, timelines, and payments
- **Event Planning**: Timeline management, room layouts, table assignments, supplier coordination
- **Catering Management**: Menu configuration, allergen tracking, dietary requirements, chef overview, provisioning
- **Financial Management**: Automated invoicing, payment plans, Stripe integration, Xero and Sage sync
- **Marketing & Sales**: Lead capture forms, conversion analytics, email campaigns via Sparkpost/Mailchimp

## Key Differentiators

- **Wedding-specific**: Unlike Tripleseat (restaurants/hotels), Planning Pod (17 verticals), or HoneyBook (freelancers), Sonas is built exclusively for wedding venues
- **Couples self-service portal**: Reduces venue admin by letting couples manage their own planning details
- **Real human support**: Dedicated account managers, not chatbots
- **No minimum contracts**: Cancel anytime
