Who We Are

Built By People Who Have Done The Work

Our Story

MyPlannery was built at the intersection of events and payments.

Ria, a luxury event planner and founder of Ria Events & Design, still runs events today. Proposals, contracts, deposits, vendors, clients. Delivering unforgettable experiences while juggling the operational chaos behind the scenes. The tools were anything but simple. Clunky systems. Hidden fees. Payment friction at every step.

At the same time, Ammar, a payments and fintech executive with over 22 years of experience building the infrastructure that moves money at scale, knew it didn’t have to be this hard.

From opposite sides, we saw the same problem.

Event professionals were often forced to adapt to software that wasn’t built for how their businesses actually run. Platforms that felt helpful at the start, but gradually took more as those businesses grew. Tools that promised simplicity but added friction, confusion, and hidden costs over time.

Over time, we started to notice a pattern. As platforms scaled, the pressure to grow revenue grew with them. And that pressure quietly shaped decisions. Fees increased. Incentives shifted. The people doing the work were left carrying more of the burden.

We believed there was a better way. One that stayed aligned with the businesses it was meant to serve.

So we built MyPlannery.

We started with payments, because cash flow is the backbone of every business. Getting paid and keeping more of what you earn should feel simple and predictable. Not stressful.

Payments are the foundation, not the finish line.

From there, we’re building outward. Tools that reduce busywork, create clarity, and grow with you.

We built MyPlannery alongside the people who use it, and we continue to build with them in mind. Our focus isn’t driven by outside pressure. It’s driven by the real needs of the businesses we serve and a genuine desire to support the people behind the work.

Built by people who’ve done the work.
Designed for the people still doing it.

Get In Touch

What is MyPlannery and who is it built for?

MyPlannery is a payments-first business platform built for event and hospitality professionals who want more control over their money. It’s designed for planners, venues, rental companies, DJs, florists, caterers, and other service-based businesses that manage client invoices, deposits, and payment schedules.

How is MyPlannery different from platforms like HoneyBook or Rock Paper Coin?

Platforms like HoneyBook and Rock Paper Coin focus on workflows with payments added on. MyPlannery is built as financial infrastructure first, giving you control over how you get paid, how fees are handled, and how money flows through your business, with incentives designed to help you keep more of what you earn.

What is the MyPlannery Partner Rewards Program?

The MyPlannery Partner Rewards Program is an earned profit-sharing program that rewards you for using ACH payments. Because ACH lowers processing costs and improves predictability, we share a portion of those savings back with you. The more you process through ACH, the more you earn. You can estimate your potential earnings using the calculator on our pricing page.

What is credit card surcharging and how does it work?

MyPlannery offers optional credit card surcharging so you can recover up to 3% of credit card processing costs. Debit cards are never surcharged.

Surcharging requires card brand registration and ongoing state and network compliance. MyPlannery handles enrollment and provides the tools, disclosures, and guidance needed to help you stay compliant, so you don’t have to manage it manually.
‍
• Card brand registration
• Required disclosures
• Built-in safeguards
• Ongoing rule updates

You can enable it account-wide or per invoice. A small fee applies for this managed service.

What payment methods can I accept with MyPlannery?

MyPlannery supports all major credit cards, debit cards, and ACH payments. These payment methods can be used across common scenarios like deposits, milestone payments, giving you flexibility in how you get paid. You can choose the payment methods that make the most sense for your business and your clients.

How fast do payouts arrive?

Standard card payouts typically arrive within 2–3 business days. ACH payments can take longer to settle, but they offer greater predictability and lower processing costs for larger invoices. If you need funds faster, MyPlannery offers Instant Payout, an optional feature that allows eligible funds to be deposited in seconds.

Is MyPlannery secure and compliant?

Yes. MyPlannery is built with security and compliance as core requirements, not afterthoughts. Payments are processed using industry-standard security practices and compliant payment infrastructure. Sensitive financial data is handled according to applicable card network and regulatory requirements.
