Overview
A live leads capture and quotation platform for St Augustine's Arts & Events Centre — a Grade II listed converted Gothic church in Brighton with a 600-person capacity. Covers weddings, corporate conferences, private parties, Christmas events, exhibitions, and conferences. Powered by a Gemini AI chatbot, a multi-step enquiry system, and a private CRM for the venue team.
The Challenge
Features
Gemini 2.5 Flash chatbot with a server-side knowledge base. Qualifies visitors by event type, date, guest count, and budget — then saves the conversation as a structured lead in Firestore automatically.
Step-by-step booking form capturing event type, date, guest numbers, layout, catering, technical requirements, and budget. Submits via Cloud Function with reCAPTCHA v3 verification.
Password-protected admin panel with a real-time Firestore leads pipeline, Gemini CRM chat (natural language lead queries and updates), and a knowledge base editor for Theo.
Dedicated landing pages for each event type with long-form copy, JSON-LD schema, canonical URLs, and a sitemap — targeting 'wedding venue Brighton', 'conference venue Brighton', and gothic venue keywords.
Live Saturday availability counter that decrements weekly and auto-rolls to the next year — factually accurate urgency messaging for the wedding audience.
Firebase App Check with reCAPTCHA v3 enforced on all Cloud Functions and Firestore. AI system prompt is hardcoded server-side — never exposed to the browser.
