Option 1: Embed the HoneyBook form
HoneyBook lets you build a contact form in your account and copy an embed code for your website. In WordPress, paste it into a Custom HTML block where you want the form to appear.
- Good: enquiries go straight into HoneyBook as leads, with no extra tools.
- Watch for: styling is limited to what HoneyBook offers, so the form may not match your site. Embedded forms also load extra scripts, so check page speed on a phone after adding it.
- Best for: planners and venues who want the simplest setup and already live in HoneyBook.
Option 2: Your WordPress form plus Zapier
Keep a form designed for your site, then use Zapier to create a HoneyBook contact and project each time someone submits it.
- Build the form in WordPress with the fields you need: names, email, phone, date or season, guest count, budget and a message. See what to ask on a wedding enquiry form.
- Create a Zap with your form plugin as the trigger, for example a new WPForms entry. Most popular form plugins have a Zapier connection, sometimes on a paid plan of the plugin.
- Add HoneyBook as the action. HoneyBook’s Zapier integration can create a client contact and project from an enquiry. Action names change over time, so pick the one that creates a lead or inquiry in the current list.
- Map the fields: date to the project date, guest count and budget to notes or custom fields, and the message to the enquiry details.
- Test with a real submission and check it in HoneyBook, then switch the Zap on.
- Good: full control of the design, fast pages, and the same lead can also go to email, a spreadsheet or Slack.
- Watch for: it needs a Zapier account, and the plan you need depends on how many enquiries you get and how many steps the Zap has.
What about chat enquiries?
If you use an AI enquiry assistant on your site, the details it collects (date, guests, budget, contact) can go through the same Zap, so chat and form leads land in HoneyBook the same way. That matters for speed: the faster a lead is in your system, the faster you can reply. More on that in how to reply to wedding enquiries faster.
Which should you choose?
If your site is simple and you want it working today, embed the HoneyBook form. If your website is a big part of how couples find and judge you, or you also want enquiries in other tools, use your own form and Zapier. I set up either as part of a wedding venue website or planner website build.
