For wedding & events suppliers

Invoicing for wedding and events suppliers

Weddings are booked a year out and paid in pieces. Take a deposit to hold the date, spread the balance across the run-up, and let every instalment chase itself, so the only thing left to think about on the day is the work.

Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed.

The long run-up

From enquiry to the big day

Quote sent

A priced quote the couple accept online. Slow to reply? Turn on follow-ups and they nudge for you.

Deposit paid

Hold the date with a booking deposit, chased before anything else.

Plan set

Split the balance into milestones across the months before the day.

Chased

Each instalment nudged as its date nears, one at a time, in your words.

Paid

The final balance settled by card, so the day is all that’s left.

Built around the run-up

Money in stages, without the chasing

A wedding isn’t one invoice on one date. It’s a deposit now, a payment or two through the year, and a balance just before. Sendinvo is built for exactly that shape.

A deposit to hold the date

Ask for a booking deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, with its own due date, and the reminder engine chases the deposit first, then the balance once it’s in. Prefer to keep it all on one invoice? A payment plan can carry the deposit as its first instalment.

A payment plan across the run-up

Split the balance into milestone instalments, each with its own amount and due date, adding up to the total. Sendinvo chases one instalment at a time, the next one due, and re-points to the following instalment automatically as each payment lands.

Couples pay online

Connect Stripe and couples can pay by card: the deposit, the next instalment, the full balance, or a custom amount. Each payment marks the invoice off on its own. See how card payments work.

Slow couples, chased gently

Wedding admin sits at the bottom of a busy couple’s list. Turn on quote follow-ups and an unanswered quote gets a nudge for you, so a maybe doesn’t quietly become a no.

A worked example

A £4,800 wedding, paid in three

One payment plan, three instalments on their own dates, each chased as it falls due.

Payment plan for a summer wedding
Booking deposit, on signing £1,200.00 Paid
Before the day, one month out £1,800.00 Due 1 Jun
Final balance, the week after £1,800.00
Total £4,800.00

Each instalment is chased on its own date and payable by card. As one is paid, chasing moves to the next.

Questions

Good to know

Can I take a booking deposit to hold the date?

Yes. Ask for a deposit as a percentage or a fixed amount, with its own due date, and the reminder engine chases the deposit before anything else. Once it’s in, chasing moves on to the balance.

Can I split a wedding into a payment plan?

Yes. Split an invoice into a milestone payment plan, two or more instalments each with its own amount and due date, adding up to the total. Payment plans are available on a paid plan.

Are the instalments chased automatically?

Yes. The reminder engine chases a payment plan one instalment at a time, the next one due on its own dates, and moves on to the following instalment automatically as each payment lands.

Can couples pay online?

Yes. When you connect Stripe, couples can pay by card, the deposit, the next instalment, the full balance, or a custom amount. The invoice updates itself the moment a payment lands.

What about couples who go quiet on a quote?

Turn on quote follow-ups and an unanswered quote gets a nudge a few days after you send it, and again before it expires when the validity window is long enough. Once a quote is accepted, declined or expired, the chasing stops.
