Wedding planning billing software for Alberta
Phased payments (deposit → vendor advances → final), vendor pass-throughs, day-of expense reconciliation, and a couples-facing portal where your clients see everything in one place — no more 'where did our deposit go?' emails.
Why Alberta matters for wedding + event planners
Alberta is the easiest province for agency billing — 5% GST only, no provincial sales tax. Retail pricing competes well against US neighbors.
Alberta's 5% GST-only environment is the simplest tax framework in Canada. Combined retail rates are noticeably lower than HST provinces (Ontario at 13%, Atlantic at 15%), which makes Alberta a competitive client-acquisition market.

FAQ — Wedding planning billing in Alberta
Is HubWho a good fit for wedding + event planners in Alberta?+
Yes. HubWho works the same in Alberta as it does in every Canadian province — CAD-native invoicing, 5% GST only (no PST)-aware via Stripe Tax, PAD bank pulls via Plaid, and a white-label customer portal under your agency's brand. The per-client margin report + auto-draft + dunning sequences are identical to the US surface.
How does HubWho handle Alberta sales tax?+
Alberta applies 5% GST only (no PST). HubWho's tax-engine selector (Settings → Billing Policy) routes to Stripe Tax for per-line jurisdictional accuracy, OR uses a static 5.00% rate from lib/canada-geo-data.ts for agencies that prefer manual tax. Stripe Tax is recommended for cross-province client books.
Can Alberta wedding + event planners bill US clients in USD?+
Yes — Stripe Connect supports cross-border CAD↔USD invoicing. Set the invoice currency per-client. The end-client sees the invoice in their currency; you settle in yours. Exchange-rate conversion fees show line-by-line so margin stays auditable.
Can I structure phased payments — deposit, 50% at 6 months out, balance 30 days before?+
Yes — create 3 invoices on the same client with staggered due dates. Or use payment plans on a single invoice (splits up to 12 installments). Either pattern works; choose based on whether the couple wants one number to track or three.
How do I bill for vendor pass-throughs?+
Add each vendor as a product (e.g. 'Floral by Bloom Co — wholesale $4,500, retail $5,400'). Margin reports show your coordination markup per wedding. Couples see one bundled invoice line; you track your gross internally.
