We purchased an existing venue business on 7/1/26 and we have yet to be able to use Honeybook to create invoices and get paid.
The assistance we have received seems to be automated. I did a webinar since I am new to the platform and was able to Zoom with an actual team member who assured it would be taken care of. You would think if you are trying to encourage a new member to use the program you would offer assistance at least via phone.

This is not the welcome we want for a new member and we're truly sorry. Being this far in without being able to get paid is a real problem that should have been resolved weeks ago. A member of our team will be reaching out directly to make sure this gets fixed 💛
It is over priced, and not as easy to keep organized as I had hoped.

We're sorry it hasn't been hitting the mark on either front. Our team would love to help you get more out of it. Please reach out to [email protected] and we'll see what we can do 💛
I do 1:1 work and projects for clients which means I need to have a scheduler for booking sessions and a way to send proposals and collect payment. I’ve tried so many different platforms: Calendly, Kajabi, Staori, OpenSign, but none of them compare to what HoneyBook offers! Not only is it aesthetically appealing (so many options to customize with your branding) but it’s intuitive to use and has allowed me to automate all my follow ups and email templates with clients saving me so much time! My only regret is not switching to HoneyBook sooner!

Coming from someone who tried everything first, welcome!! So glad the scheduling, proposals, and automations are all clicking for your 1:1 work. We hope we keep earning it 💪💪
The tool that helped me scale to multiple 6 figures
Honeybook is a tool I’ve been using since starting my business four years ago and it’s been so crucial in streamlining everything from onboarding to invoices each month. I’m such a huge fan and it’s been so pivotal in my business backend to help me scale!!

Four years in and scaling to that level. That's the whole goal and we're so glad it's been part of the journey. Thank you, Caroline 💛
As someone who has used Honeybook for 6+ years, I've witnessed how they do a great job evolving with the times which is key in the tech world! Plus, the customer service is always super helpful, whether it's the AI support or talking to a real person (which you can still do easily!!!).

Six years of watching us grow and still here, that means a lot. And yes, the real humans are very much still there 😂 Thank you, Marissa 💛
I am a wedding photographer and business owner and have been a HoneyBook user since 2021. I genuinely would not be able to run my business or offer the client experience I have without it. They are constantly updating their software to the needs of their clients and are so responsive when it comes to any issues. I could not recommend them more to any entrepreneur, small business owner, or anyone needing a CRM that does it all!

Since 2021 and still going strong 🥹 The client experience you've built is yours. We just try to keep making it easier to deliver. Thank you so much 💛
Ive owned a wedding photography company for nearly 15 years and have used honeybook as my CRM for majority of it. It has always been the backbone of the backend of my business and it’s only gotten better & better over the years. Now with the new gallery feature, I can continue closing more and more tabs, saving more and more money using HB.

15 years of wedding photography is no small thing, and the fact that we've been part of the backend for most of it means everything to us. So glad the gallery feature is helping you consolidate even more. That's exactly where we want to keep going. Thank you, Molly 💛
HoneyBook has been one of those rare platforms where customer service actually listens to their users. I can honestly say I've tried almost every other CRM and I always went back to HoneyBook. They have a great community of users who help each other out as well as, personally always felt customer service always helped solve the issue. Their latest updates also has helped streamline my process managing leads and their smart files are fantastic.

Coming back after trying everything else is the kind of thing that doesn't go unnoticed over here. So glad the community has shown up for you and that the updates are making a real difference in your day to day. Thank you, Richard 💛
I’ve been a faithful user of HoneyBook for the last five years of my business and truly could not imagine a better CRM system for me and my Client work! HoneyBook acts as my coworker, helping me streamline invoices, collect payments, an automate communication to my clients. Genuinely this tool saves me probably 10 to 12 hours of additional work per week! The HoneyBook team is always listening and ready to adapt, they’re very kind to taking feedback and are always asking their users what they can do to improve. And they genuinely do improve the platform every single quarter. If you’re looking for a tool to wow your clients without hiring a virtual assistant or paying thousands for complicated and not user-friendly platforms, HoneyBook is your girl! Signed,
A HoneyBook evangelist and full-time Photographer!

Five years and that kind of loyalty genuinely means so much to us. The fact that it feels like a coworker and not just a tool, that's exactly what we're trying to build. And 10-12 hours back every week adds up to a lot of life. Thank you for being with us India 💛
I really love this all in one CRM- with automations, I have my personal time back. It’s easy to use, my clientele also enjoys how streamlined everything is and of course the personalization and customization of it all is really great and makes me feel like my brand stands out. Not to mention- support is SO responsive and I always find that they go above and beyond to make sure I get the help I need. HoneyBook has changed my business for the best!

Getting your time back is one thing, but your clients noticing the difference too, that's the full picture. So glad it's all coming together for you and your business. Thank you for sharing this Amanda 💛
I’m truly not sure why I didn’t switch over to HoneyBook sooner. I’m not the most organized business owner behind the scenes, so when I find a service that connects the platforms I already use and lays everything out in such an easy, user-friendly way, I’m all for it!

Honestly the best feeling is when everything just clicks and you wonder why you waited. So glad you found it and that it's working the way you need it to. Welcome Brandon 💛
I like all of the different tools that HoneyBook offers
I like all of the different tools that HoneBook provides, especially the new AI integration. The one highlight for me is the fact I can see a monthly, yearly comparison in regarding to how my business is doing and what to do to meet my goals or exceed them
