Wedding Planners face unique challenges: Managing 8-15 active weddings at different planning stages simultaneously. HoneyBook and Dubsado both take payment processing cuts on large retainers. Vendor coordination across 10+ vendors per wedding. Scope creep when 'month-of coordination' turns into 6 months of hand-holding. On top of all that, Dubsado charges $35/month ($420/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median wedding planner earns $42,000/year. Software at $420/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Planning binders and timeline templates is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

A wedding is a year of work that comes together over one day. I start with the couple's budget, guest count and vision, then help them choose a venue and assemble a vendor team: catering, florist, photographer, music, rentals and hair and makeup, reviewing every contract for deposits, cancellation terms and overtime rates. Over the months I'm running the planning timeline: design decisions, tastings, invitations, the seating chart that's rewritten six times, and the budget tracker that keeps everyone honest. In the final weeks I confirm every vendor, build a minute-by-minute timeline for the day, and run the rehearsal. On the wedding day I'm there from vendor arrival to the last guest: making sure the setup matches the plan, cueing the ceremony, managing the timeline, fixing problems before anyone notices, and handing out tips and final payments. Something always goes wrong, and the job is making sure the couple never knows. I'm paid a planning fee in stages, and I never hold vendor money, which goes directly from the couple to each vendor.
