Is it for me? · Venues and spaces
Enquiries and dates in one place.
Enquiry forms on your own site, every request naming which room, and the whole thread sitting against a record you can still find next year. No commission on a date you filled yourself.
Plans from $20 a month. Bookings is switched on for your account.

Five of Helm's 23 modules, on top of the workspaceYou choose these — switched on per account, or included once your plan carries them
A June week
Nothing here is a feature. It is the week, written down.
Where each request lands, and the one moment the software deliberately does not decide for you.
A wedding enquiry for the Loft, 14 June
Maya, eighty people, a note about the bar. It arrives naming the room and lands as pending, where it waits. Nothing goes back to her until you answer, which is the argument for answering the same day.
A second request for the same Saturday
Lina, also the Loft, also 14 June. Both sit there. Helm does not decide between them and does not pretend one slot is gone — that judgement is yours.
You confirm one and decline the other
Two clicks. Both are emailed. The record keeps who answered and when, which settles the question the day somebody asks.
A photographer asks about the Studio
Different room, same inbox. Every request names its room on the row itself, so the Studio's are legible at a glance in among the Loft's — one list read down, rather than four inboxes kept apart.
You put the summer rates up
Edit the page, watch the preview, press Go Live. If the number was wrong, the previous version is still there.
Maya's mother rings about a birthday
You open Maya's record and last June is all there — the room, the numbers, the note about the bar. Nobody searched an email account.
An example week
The honest bit, said out loud
Two people asking for one Saturday is not a bug in this page. There is no live availability holding the date, and a venue that needs one should know that before signing up rather than after.
What it is instead
A request inbox with a confirm, a decline, an automatic reply and a permanent record — which for a room one person runs is usually the whole job.
The enquiry
It arrives naming the room, not as a message you have to decode.
One inbox instead of an inbox, a phone and a DM. Requests arrive with a name, a contact, a date, the room and whatever they wrote.
Confirm or decline and she is emailed either way, without you writing a word of it — and every answer records who gave it and when.
The site itself
Change the rates yourself, and keep the version you replaced.
You edit the site yourself — text, images, prices — and the preview updates as you type. Nothing is public until you press Go Live.
Every published version is kept, so a price you typed wrong at nine on a Friday is one click to undo rather than a phone call on Monday. Photographs go in once and are reused anywhere on the site, which matters when a venue is sold on pictures.
The record
Next March, when they ring about the birthday, last June is already open.
Every enquiry attaches to a person, and people can sign in to see their own.
Their history, visible
Who they are, which room, what they asked, when, and what you said. Not a search through an email account at eleven at night.
They can sign in
Accounts on your own domain, so a returning client opens their own requests instead of emailing to ask what was agreed.
One record, not three
The enquiry, the account and anything else they do are rows against the same person — which is why next March takes ten seconds.
Before you start
What this does not do, said now rather than later.
No live availability calendar
There is no calendar holding real-time inventory, no capacity and no double-booking guard. Two people can ask for the same Saturday and you decide. If you need a seating engine, this is not one.
No deposits or payments
Helm does not take a card payment or hold a deposit against a date. Requests and records.
Bookings is switched on for you
It is not on a checkout page — it opens a public write endpoint, so we turn it on per account rather than leaving it armed for every client. It is switched on during setup if your site needs it.
Getting started
Tell us about the rooms, and we will build around how you let them.
Plans start at $20 a month. Bookings is switched on for your account rather than bought from a pricing page.
