Check availability
Tell me roughly when and what for. You do not need the details worked out — most people do not, and working them out together is part of the job. I reply within two days.
It takes about a minute, and asking does not hold a date or commit you to anything — it just starts the conversation.

What happens next
One
I read it
Not an automatic reply — a real person, within two days.
Two
You work out the date
I will tell you what I have free, and what I would suggest if you are not sure. No pressure to decide in the first message.
Three
The date gets held
I send the details in writing — date, place, price and terms — with a link to pay the $150 deposit. Once that is paid the date is yours and comes off my calendar.
