FOR EVENT & WEDDING PLANNERS
Events run on dates, deposits and changes. A second venue, more guests or extra materials are new work, and they need a new agreement before anyone delivers them. Choose software that keeps the enquiry, the agreed scope, the payment schedule and the final balance on one client record.
Quote scope changes before you deliver them.
Split the fee into deposits and a final balance up front.
Keep vendor tasks and client decisions with the event.
