The majority of requests on Add to Event will receive at least one quote. But, the number of quotes you receive can depend on the popularity of your event date and the suppliers available in your area. So, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that you will receive lots of quotes after submitting a request through the site.
However, you can improve your chances of getting requests in a couple of ways:
Editing your request to add more information that appeals to more suppliers
Inviting suppliers to quote to show them you're interested
Submit a new request
Editing Your Request / Adding More Information
If you submitted your request a couple of days ago and you're still waiting for your first quote, we recommend updating your quote message and adding a phone number - both great signs to our supplier network that you're eager to book!
How to edit your request
If you haven't received a quote from a supplier yet, editing your request is simple:
Login to your Add to Event account
Open the main menu and select My Requests
Find the active request that you'd like to edit and press View Request
In the top right hand corner, press the "..." button to open an actions menu
Select View Request Details from the actions menu. This will take you to your request details page
From here, press Edit Request in the top right
Then simply work through your saved answers on the form, changing any details as necessary
When you're finished, press Get Quotes and your edits will be saved.
When can you edit your request?
You're able to edit your request right up until you receive your first quote from a supplier.
You can edit every detail including things like the services required, date, venue and guest count.
Inviting Suppliers to quote
When you submit a request, we'll notify all the local suppliers who offer your service and are available on the date of your event - so they can decide if they're available to quote.
To receive top quality matches, you can also choose to invite specific suppliers to quote. This is a great way of maximising you chances of getting quotes from suppliers you like the look of.
How to Invite suppliers
You can invite suppliers to quote on your request by following these instructions:
Login to your Add to Event account
Open the main menu and select My Requests
Find the active request that you'd like to edit and press View Request
Click on the Suggested tab
5. If there are any suppliers which you are interested in, please invite them by clicking on the Invite to Quote button:
Your chosen suppliers will be notified and reach out to you with a custom quote if they're available!
Submitting a new request
If you haven't received any quotes after 7 days, the request will be closed.
We recommend sending another request with as much detail as possible about your event - make sure you include a detailed message, your phone number, and an accurate guest count to receive high quality quotes. You may also consider setting a higher budget than you did before.
