# VenueBill

> VenueBill is booking and billing software for independent wedding and event venues. It keeps each couple, event date, space, package, contract, deposit, payment schedule, and final balance in one operational record.

Current as of 2026-10-13.

This date records the product-facts review. Catalog titles and descriptions are copied from this build’s canonical public pages; this is not a fresh factual review of every article.

## Verified product scope

Wedding venues, event venues, reception spaces, and the owners or coordinators who manage their bookings. VenueBill begins at the date hold or booking. It is not a full lead CRM, BEO, floor-plan, staffing, POS, inventory, or attendee-registration suite.

## Pricing and trial

- The card-backed 14-day trial begins after secure checkout. No subscription charge is collected when the trial begins.
- Pro costs $39 per month.
- Premium costs $59 per month.
- The selected plan starts billing automatically when the trial ends unless the venue cancels first.

## Online card processing

VenueBill does not add a separate platform transaction fee. The client covers the checkout-disclosed Stripe card-processing amount, and that processing amount is not returned on a refund except where law requires otherwise.

## Current workflows

- Create a booking around the couple, event date, venue space, and package.
- Hold a date and space, then keep the contract and deposit with that booking.
- Build deposit, installment, and final-balance milestones from the event date.
- Prepare proposals, estimates, invoices, and e-sign contracts.
- Give each couple a private portal for documents, payment history, and the outstanding balance.
- Accept online card payments through Stripe Connect after the venue completes payment onboarding.
- Record off-platform cash, check, and bank-transfer payments manually.
- Send automated email reminders for upcoming and overdue payments.
