Churches are vibrant hubs of connection, hosting everything from weddings and baptisms to youth events and community gatherings. Managing these spaces is about more than just reserving a room—it’s about stewarding resources, fostering community, and ensuring every interaction feels welcoming. That’s why we’re excited to unveil Enquiry Forms for Booking, the latest addition to the Bookings module, designed to make your booking process smoother and more engaging. With Enquiry Forms, you no longer need to be a ChurchSuite user to make a booking - your external customers can now do so directly!

A Smarter Way to Manage Bookings
Imagine a couple planning their wedding visiting your church website, completing a tailored enquiry form, and receiving a warm, branded confirmation email that clearly outlines what happens next. Or picture your youth pastor submitting a room request for an upcoming event, with your team instantly notified to approve it—no paper forms or email chains required. Enquiry Forms bring this seamless, time-saving workflow to life, helping your church stay organised while prioritising community connection.
Tailored, Flexible, and User-Friendly
With Enquiry Forms, you can create custom forms for any booking type, whether it’s a life event like a baptism, an internal team meeting, or an external hire like a birthday party. These forms capture all the essential details upfront, reducing errors and administrative hassle. Embed them on your website, share direct links, or create site-specific forms for multi-site churches. Pair with our free-busy resource planner, and customers can even check availability before submitting—ideal for couples planning a wedding.
Built for Your Church’s Needs
Enquiry Forms are designed with flexibility and care. You can predefine required resources for certain types of events (like a verger for a wedding), let customers choose their spaces, or keep assignments internal. Smart matching links enquiries to existing customer profiles to keep your database tidy, while secure, GDPR-compliant data collection ensures trust. From branded forms to confirmation emails, every touchpoint reflects your church’s identity. Plus, you can easily convert an enquiry into a confirmed booking or send custom responses, with pre-populated links making repeat bookings effortless.
Empowering Your Community
Whether it’s supporting life events, enabling internal teams, or welcoming external hires, Enquiry Forms streamline your process while enhancing engagement. It’s about making your church’s spaces accessible, your communication clear, and your ministry impactful.
