Wedding job
Avery + Lucas
The job keeps the package, added work, invoices, payments, and running statement together.
One record keeps the details current as the work changes.
The short answer
Wedding invoicing is easier when every estimate, invoice, payment, and added job item stays attached to the wedding—and the running balance updates with them.
Why this gets hard
One wedding can create several money conversations.
There may be a deposit, added products or labor, more than one invoice, and a final balance. Separate documents make a simple client question difficult to answer.
The deposit is recorded separately from later invoices.
Added products or labor are easy to forget at billing time.
Several invoices make the remaining balance unclear.
The client asks, “How much have we paid?”
A better workflow
Let the wedding job keep the running total.
Use the wedding job as the current list of billable services and products, then estimate and invoice from it.
Build the wedding job and estimate.
Add the package services, products, labor, and deposit requirement, then send the estimate for signature and payment.
Add changes to the job.
When the scope grows, add the new service, product, or labor item where the rest of the wedding already lives.
Invoice from the current job items.
Choose the items and percentages to bill. Portara remembers what has already been invoiced.
Share the running statement.
Show deposits, invoices, payments, refunds, and the current remaining balance in simple terms.
What to look for
Payment tracking should answer these without a spreadsheet.
What did the client sign?
How much deposit was paid?
What changed after booking?
What has already been invoiced?
What is the current remaining balance?

Questions, answered
Wedding invoicing, in plain English
Can wedding clients sign and pay a deposit from one link?
Yes. Clients can review and sign an estimate and make the required online payment without creating an account.
Can Portara track more than one invoice for a wedding?
Yes. Estimates, multiple invoices, payments, and refunds remain attached to the same wedding job.
Can I invoice percentages of wedding services or products?
Yes. Choose the percentage to invoice for individual job items. Portara tracks what was billed previously and what remains.
Can the client see the running balance?
Yes. A mini statement can show the client’s deposits, invoice payments, refunds, total paid, and remaining balance.
