Why the niche matters

  • We speak your language - packages, retainers, gratuities, sub-contractor pay, rental income, etc.

  • We know your seasonality and how to plan cash flow around it

  • We understand creative business owners because our founder was one

Built for the Wedding & Event Industry

A general bookkeeper can balance your books. An industry-specific bookkeeper understands your business. We know what a 50% retainer looks like on your books, how to handle deposits collected 18 months before a wedding, why your March P&L looks nothing like your June P&L, and how to track profitability across packages, planners, vendors, and venues.

STRESS-FREE BOOKKEEPING

You deserve a business that runs as seamlessly as the experiences you create.

Whether you’ve been building your brand for years or are just starting to gain momentum, you didn’t choose this path for spreadsheets and receipts — you chose it to bring moments of beauty to life.

You create magic for others. You deserve financial clarity and confidence for yourself.

Let your numbers tell the story of your growth — with expert support, personalized strategy, and systems built just for wedding and event professionals. This is more than bookkeeping. It’s the freedom to focus on what you love, knowing your finances are in good hands.

Hi, I’m Matt Mitchell

( he/him/his)

As a former wedding planner, I know the challenges of managing cash flow, understanding profitability, and keeping up with bookkeeping—because I’ve been there. That’s why I co-founded The Event Ledger: to help creative entrepreneurs like you take control of their finances with confidence.

“I started The Event Ledger because I lived this. As a former wedding planner, I knew exactly what was missing - a financial team that understood the rhythm of this industry, not one that treated us like every other small business.”
