Can couples pay the deposit on the page?
Yes. Add a service block for the package, set the deposit amount, and the payment runs through the Stripe or PayPal account you already own. Fastpage does not process, hold or take a percentage of that payment.
Can the form ask for the wedding date and the budget?
The form has five slots: name, email, phone, message, and one question you write. Set the question to the wedding date, either as free text or as a list of periods you accept. Budget and venue go in the message field, which is better than a rigid dropdown because couples describe a wedding in their own words.
How long does it take to publish?
An evening for a first version: gallery, two or three packages, the form, your contact details. Changing a price later takes a minute, from a phone.
Do I have to show my prices?
No. You can publish a "from" price, a package with a range, or no price at all and let the form do the work. Pages that show at least one price get fewer price-only enquiries, which is the point.
Does it replace my Instagram account?
It sits behind it. Instagram shows the work, the page answers the questions the work raises, and the link in your bio is the handover.
What does it cost?
A free plan that publishes the page and the form with a monthly limit on collected enquiries, and PRO at 12 USD a month or 120 USD a year for the domain, the automations and no branding.
