Invoicing Software for Event & Wedding Planners

Advance, running and final bills on high-value events — GST and TDS in order.

For Event & wedding businesses

Event and wedding work is high-value and paid in stages — a booking advance, running payments as the date nears, and a final settlement after. A single event bundles many services at different rates, and corporate clients deduct TDS, so the billing has to hold the whole event together without a spreadsheet coming apart.

How event & wedding billing works

Event billing is advance-plus-milestone against a total event value. 399Apps records the booking advance, raises running GST invoices as the event progresses, and settles the final bill — each with SAC-coded line items for the different services bundled in. Client-wise outstanding and AR aging keep every event’s collection on track through the settlement.

GST & TDS, handled right

Event management is a service under SAC 9985 at 18% GST, with advances taxed on receipt. When you bundle multiple services, each line carries its own SAC and rate. Corporate and sponsor clients deduct TDS under 194C — 399Apps records advances and the section-wise TDS so a large event’s tax position reconciles cleanly to 26AS.

The billing problems it solves

Different service, same trap — money earned that never quite gets billed or collected. Here's what 399Apps keeps straight for event & wedding planners:

Advances vs final settlement

Record the booking advance and adjust it against running and final invoices — no double count.

Bundled services, many rates

Line-item each service with its own SAC and GST rate on one event invoice.

High-value slow collection

AR aging and client-wise outstanding keep large events collectable through settlement.

194C deducted by corporates

Corporate and sponsor clients withhold TDS — logged section-wise for a clean 26AS reconcile.

What you get

  • ✓Advance + milestone + final GST invoices
  • ✓Multi-SAC line items on one event bill
  • ✓Advance receipts adjusted against invoices
  • ✓Event / client-wise outstanding & AR aging
  • ✓TDS-on-receipts (194C), 26AS-ready
  • ✓Quotes / estimates → invoice conversion

One flat price — the whole team invoices

Most invoicing tools charge per user or per invoice, so growing your practice grows the bill. 399Apps is ₹399/month for your first app and a flat ₹399/month for each additional app — GST invoicing, TDS reconciliation and receivables in one system, unlimited users, cloud or self-hosted. Adding partners, associates or account managers never raises the price.

FAQ

Invoicing software for event & wedding planners — FAQ

Does 399Apps work for event & wedding planners? +
Yes. 399Apps (Nidhi Books) is built for the way event & wedding planners actually invoice. Event billing is advance-plus-milestone against a total event value. 399Apps records the booking advance, raises running GST invoices as the event progresses, and settles the final bill — each with SAC-coded line items for the different services bundled in. Client-wise outstanding and AR aging keep every event’s collection on track through the settlement.
How does GST and TDS work for event & wedding businesses in 399Apps? +
Event management is a service under SAC 9985 at 18% GST, with advances taxed on receipt. When you bundle multiple services, each line carries its own SAC and rate. Corporate and sponsor clients deduct TDS under 194C — 399Apps records advances and the section-wise TDS so a large event’s tax position reconciles cleanly to 26AS.
How much does invoicing software cost for a event & wedding business? +
₹399/month for your first app and a flat ₹399/month for each additional app — the same price across India, with no per-user licence and no per-invoice fee. A solo professional and a growing event & wedding firm pay the same base price.
Can I track who still owes me and follow up on time? +
Yes. Every invoice carries a due date, and AR Aging buckets receivables into current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ days overdue with per-client outstanding — so you chase the slippers before the money is really late, without a manual ledger.
Can I run it on the cloud or on my own server? +
Both. Run 399Apps fully managed on the 399apps cloud with daily backups and an India data region, or self-host it on your own server for complete data ownership. The same invoicing and GST features work either way.
We also hire out our own generator, stage truss and sound system for weddings. Can 399Apps stop two staff promising the same kit for the same date? +
Yes, with Nidhi Rentals. Each piece of kit is one asset with its day rate and deposit, and one asset cannot be booked to two customers over overlapping dates — the database refuses the second booking. The return records days late and damage, and the hire becomes a draft invoice in Nidhi Books with the deposit refunded, adjusted or forfeited. One limit: it books named assets, not "300 chairs" from a pool — you would register sets such as "Chair set of 50". Rentals needs Nidhi Books, so the pair is ₹798/month with unlimited users.
