What do you like best about Curate?

It allows our team to stay organized by reciping the exact items needed for each wedding and event. I love that you can drag and drop photos directly into it. I also love that you can view the order sheet, products, event summary, etc to help manage the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

We only use curate internally and don't send clients proposals via curate. It isn't as aesthetic as Proposify, but works perfectly for our internal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeps us organized and on budget. It also helps manage our inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Curate?

Curate is easy to use, allows you to showcase your best ideas clearly and concisely to a clientele that wants to have access to your proposal across multiple devices. For a novice, this program is intuitive and makes your business look good. For a seasoned pro or a curious mind, curate can adapt for multiple uses. As part of a large resort, I love how I can create proposals at cost for internal events or full retail for outside business; and it only takes two seconds to make the switch. Curate maintains your preferred profit margin, so I do not have to worry about new hires underpricing a centerpiece or rental item while learning the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

I would like to have the ability to run more expense and profit reports. I understand that Curate has just rolled out some new sales and operational reports that I plan on checking out next month. The great news is Curate listens to its users and makes updates based on their comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since we are a resort, not a florist, curate has helped us create looks that do not have leftover products. The stem counter feature is fantastic!

During Covid, I realized we needed to make a stronger connection to our wedding market. So, we started using Curate for banquet checks. We took a dull and sterile document and transformed it into a storyboard of the couple's wedding. As the year progresses and the couple makes more decisions, they see those items reflected in the estimate. We have been able to create more upselling moments by utilizing the possibilities section of the document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

Curate has cut the amount of time I spend creating proposals by 75%, all while increasing our closing rate. I am able to produce beautiful, professional proposals that give our potential clients all of the information they need to feel comfortable with their choices. The amount of time saved writing proposals in one month alone makes our annual subscription worth every penny.

We save even more time with production. It was easy to learn to use and has completely changed the way we create proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

My only dislike comes to printing recipes. I need the ability le to print one larger inspiration image with the notes and recipes to be able to give to our design team. We're working around it, but I've been so spoiled by how easy everything else has been! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Curate:

Go for it! We were fully supported and trained by Curate, and their response to further questions or troubleshooting has been incredibly quick. Our wedding and event business of 100+ dates per year runs smoothly because of Curate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the "there's not enough time" problem. Curate has opened up extra hours in our week that are desperately needed.

We are also able to give potential clients an incredible amount of information in an easy to understand manner.

Our clients are impressed by the clear, transparent way their proposals arrive and appreciate the ease of having everything in one link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

I love how much time Curate saves me. My previous system for writing proposal took me hours fusing with formatting issues and resizing images. Curate does all of that for me and lets me focus on what I'm offering to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

There is nothing I dislike about Curate. Occasionally I have a minor tech issue but the team members are ready to chat anytime and they have always solved my problems quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Other than saving me lots of time, Curate helps to organize information in such a way that I can easily find out what I need to know and then move on. Previously I had a few areas to check and confirm that things matched up. With Curate I can see exactly what my client and I have agreed on and switch back to a previous version to see what we have changed overtime. It's so helpful for keeping track of ideas, quantities, and costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

Curate offers a huge facelift to the traditional event management software in key areas such as design, functionality, integrations, administration, reporting and tracking. Curate is extremely user friendly and the technical support is very accomodating, prompt and personal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

To be expected from any new system, Curate has its share of kinks and need for industry specific adjustments, but Curate has been extremely responsive in providing innovation solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

More personalize/customized proposal, organization wide integration, management reporting, event tracking, cost controls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

Everything! I love the beautiful proposals it creates effortlessly, I love how easy it is to create recipes, and order flowers with a couple clicks of a button. It does ALL their heavy lifting for you. I can pump out a quick proposal in 15-30 minutes or spend hours on one searching for the perfect photos on Pinterest creating a visual masterpiece, but in the end, what the software does is always fast and easy. I love that they are always updating and adding more amazing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

I use it on my iphone 90% of the time, and it works good, there are some features that work better in chrome and I’d love for those features to work well in safari. I’m sure that will be coming soon Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Curate:

Great addition to your package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inventory!!! That work made me cringe before cuate rentals. It makes keeping track of inventory so so much easier. It’s also great to have it as an addition to the proposal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

This has been the best decision I have ever made for my business! Not only does this program save me time and energy, but it looks professional and is easy to use. My clients love it as well! The entire process from start to finish with my clients is now seamless. The proposals look clean and modern and clients can e-sign the proposal once they approve it. letting me know that they would like to book. No more guessing if it was received or not, or if it was even viewed. This program has been a lifesaver! I have booked more weddings than ever before and I still get to have a life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

I wish I had more time to explore the program more in depth. I'm discovering new things every day that are great tools. Luckily the Curate team has been fantastic about answering questions or concerns and the onboarding sessions were super helpful to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Curate:

This program is 100% worth the price! My goal for the new year was to increase my sales while finding time for myself and my family. The struggle for work-life balance is real! Once I really started implementing this program and completely switched over my proposals, I don't know how I lived without Curate. I no longer have a pile of inquires and questionnaires on my desk waiting for proposals. Those proposals have been sent, signed and booked with deposits secured, within days from the first lead. Take the leap; you have nothing to lose, but that pile of papers on your desk, by trying Curate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have had more leads turn into proposals, which have then turned into bookings. This was my number one concern. I would get a lead that would then fizzle out because I had no way for clients to fill out an online questionnaire. With the form section I was able to create a simple questionnaire that leads could fill out on their computer or phone easily. I can then automatically create a proposal for them based off of one of my templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

We love the quick and straight forward approach to building out each proposal. To create recipes for our team to work off of the day off of, has been a complete game changer. Since most of our weddings are smaller, we have been have to complete up to 9 weddings in one weekend with the help of this software. Our brides love it too! With the ability to show the brides each individual flower that will be going into their arrangement - by line item - it has helped us immensely to help everyone involved visualize what the final product will be like in the end.

I love how that I can edit and work on a proposal during a consultation, adding notes, photos of exactly what the brides loves, touch it up after they leave and have it to them by the time they get back to their computer at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

What do I dislike? This is kind of a difficult question because I love the software! If anything, I wish you could set a 'max events per weekend' number somewhere, and then as you are entering a date in a new proposal - the software would give you a little pop up if you have approached/or are approaching your max events for that weekend. Seems silly that I can't just scroll down and check it for myself - but with the influx of destination weddings to our area, we just sometimes plug and go and help as many brides as we able. Which, I would like to scale back a smidge for my own personal sanity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Curate:

This is hands down, an amazing product to streamline your business for your employees and customers alike! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to better track our overall cost's/profits from weddings. Before curate, our designer would create a proposal on an excel doc. or a hand written paper - and that is not for certain that she would always calculate the labor or additional cost's properly. We also ran into the issue that the lead designer would often be the only one able to work on the package - due to the design idea in her head - she was not always able to communicate it properly to other team members or customers for that matter. With the photos and descriptions in the software, we are able to show the brides what they will be getting, there are no longer surprises of "that's completely not the color I was envisioning" which I have now learned was a problem in years past. Without the threat of this issue, it has grown our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Curate?

Curate helps me create customized proposals for clients while doing the math for me! using this program has saved me time and MONEY! Unlike others, this program allows me to add in my logo, change my color scheme and make it look completely like my very own document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Curate?

I wish there was an app that I could download on my phone for easy access, but knowing the folks at curate... they're probably already working on it! Also, my proposal often goes to spam so I have to contact the client and ensure they receive it or forward the email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Curate solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have saved a ton of money! I used to have a ton of left over flowers and had to use spreadsheets to check my work. this system does it all for me. I now also use it during the consultation so all of my notes are in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
