Why cash flow gets stuck in your industry

A look at the cash-flow reality for events & weddings in New Zealand.

Wedding venues, photographers, planners, caterers, and event suppliers in New Zealand quote per booking and collect on a deposit-then-final-payment model. The average New Zealand wedding now sits at $25,000 to $40,000 across all suppliers, with individual supplier invoices of $3,000 to $15,000 each.

Couples and event clients usually have the date locked long before the cash. Final payments fall due two to four weeks before the event, exactly when other event costs are also crystallising. Suppliers face cancellation risk on the front end and bad-debt risk on the back end, while couples scramble to spread the cost across credit cards and savings accounts.

Challenges You Face

We understand the unique payment challenges in your industry.

Large Deposits

Couples struggle with big upfront payments for venues and services.

Seasonal Cash Flow

Wedding season creates income peaks and valleys.

Booking Hesitation

Price shock causes couples to delay or downgrade.

How Fee Funders fixes that

Fee Funders lets your client spread their final invoice over 3, 6, 9, or 12 months while you receive the full amount within 7 to 10 days of approval. The pressure of a single big payment two weeks before the event evaporates. Couples who would have downscaled the package or shopped around on price stay with the original brief, and your event-day cash is already in the bank.
