Why Choose Daystar for Event Planning Payment Processing
Event planners collect large deposits long before the event happens, and that gap between payment and delivery is exactly what makes many processors nervous. A last-minute cancellation or a disputed wedding deposit can trigger reserves, holds, or a frozen account. As a high risk merchant account provider, Daystar sets up event planning merchant accounts with your booking timeline and deposit structure disclosed upfront.
We serve corporate event planners and conference organizers, wedding and private celebration coordinators, entertainment bookers, production companies, AV providers, and venue rental businesses. Our network of 20 acquiring banks across 4 continents lets us match your volume and ticket size to the right bank, so high-ticket bookings process without surprise limits.
There are no long-term contracts. Most applications receive a decision within 24 hours, and most approved merchants are live within 3 business days, with a 95% approval rate among qualified applicants. Call our Miami team at +1 (786) 453-7357 to talk through your event planning business, or apply online and a specialist will review your details.

Credit Card Processing
Accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover for booking deposits, milestone installments, and final balances. We underwrite your account around your real ticket sizes, from a small private dinner to a five-figure corporate conference, so large event payments are approved with your deposit schedule already understood rather than flagged as unusual activity.
Payment Gateways
Event Planning Payment Gateways
A secure payment gateway lets clients pay deposits and balances through your website, booking forms, or emailed invoices. Store card details securely for scheduled milestone charges, send payment links after a proposal is signed, and keep every transaction tied to the event date and contract so records are easy to pull if a client ever disputes a charge.
Mobile Payment Apps

Mobile Payment Apps
Take payments on site at venue walkthroughs, tastings, bridal shows, and on event day with a phone or tablet card reader. Mobile acceptance is useful for day-of add-ons such as extra bar service, overtime hours, or rental upgrades, and every payment flows into the same reporting as your online and invoiced transactions.
ACH and E-Checks
Event Planning
ACH & E-Checks
Corporate clients and couples paying large deposits often prefer bank transfers. ACH and eCheck processing let you collect big balances at a lower cost than cards, give business clients a payment method their accounts payable teams already use, and reduce the card dispute exposure that comes with high-ticket event bookings.
Subscription Billing
Event Planning
Subscription Billing
Split a wedding or conference package into scheduled installments that charge automatically until the final payment date. Recurring billing also fits venue rental businesses with standing monthly bookings and planners who sell ongoing retainer or membership packages, with automated reminders and retries that reduce missed payments.

Put a clear cancellation and refund policy in every contract, have clients sign or check a box accepting it, and reference it on invoices.

Our payment processing solution supports a wide range of payment methods, including all major credit and debit cards, to ensure that you can cater to all your customers’ preferences.
The account setup process is streamlined and efficient. Once you submit all required documents, we aim to get your account up and running as quickly as possible, typically within a few business days.
Event businesses collect large deposits well before the service is delivered, sometimes months or a year ahead. If an event is canceled or a client is unhappy, the processor can be exposed to large chargebacks, so many providers apply holds or reserves. We disclose your booking timeline to the bank upfront to reduce surprises.
We underwrite your account around your expected deposit sizes and booking lead times so that large payments match what the bank approved. Approval terms, including any reserve, depend on your history and the acquiring bank, but setting accurate limits at the start is the best way to avoid holds later.
