Colorado has a 4.4% flat income tax. Flat 4.4% income tax. Complex local tax jurisdictions — over 70 home-rule cities with their own sales tax rates. Denver occupational privilege tax ($5.75/month for employees).
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $852/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it invoicing, a solution for planning projects, or a managing vendor payments system — most wedding planners in Aurora string together HoneyBook, Dubsado, 17hats, aisle-planner along with other platforms. That's $852/year in monthly software fees. In half a decade at today's prices, the total damage is $4,260.
Switching to Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, planning projects, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one solution. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No sync fees. It's a one-time purchase — eliminate recurring fees the moment you switch. For wedding planners in Aurora weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
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.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

Open on Reddit →We build a wedding planner's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a wedding planner — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
