Need help with multi-day session scheduling

Hey everyone, I’ve built a whole framework around offering overnight, multi-day photo session experiences. Think camping, cabins, etc. 

My last step was putting together a scheduler, and it looks like there’s no way for folks to book sessions that span multiple days. Any suggestions on how to work around this? I really need something that reflects availability on my personal calendar and that shows clients what is available. I don’t want them paying for something that doesn’t exist.

 

Thoughts? Ideas? Thank you!!!

@The Enloe Creative -  That sounds like such a cool offering. From what I’ve seen, HoneyBook’s scheduler isn’t really built for true multi-day bookings right now, especially for experiences that span overnight stays or multiple calendar days.

A couple possible workarounds you could consider:

• Create the scheduler around the start date only, then clearly explain in the session description that the experience spans multiple days. Once booked, you could manually block the remaining dates on your connected calendar.

• Another option would be to use an inquiry/approval workflow instead of instant booking so clients submit their desired dates first and you confirm availability before sending the proposal/invoice. That may honestly give you more control for a higher-touch experience like this anyway.

• You could also create a scheduler with very limited availability windows (for example only certain start dates) and then manually manage the additional blocked days behind the scenes.

And honestly, this may be one of those workflows where integrating something like Calendly or Acuity for the scheduling portion could help bridge the gap a bit more cleanly since they tend to have more flexibility around custom availability structures and longer-format bookings.

I do think true multi-day session scheduling would make a fantastic feature request for retreat-style, travel, camping, and destination-based businesses though.

I agree with ​@Alicia Bauer that Calendly may be the better option as you’d need to have multiple automation runs in order to try this in HoneyBook. I know this is on their radar but for now Calendly would be a better option, and it integrates well with HoneyBook.
