For most of us, a wedding is probably the most elaborate event we have ever organized, requiring the services of caterers, bakers, florists and more. This is your big day and you will need to clearly communicate your wishes and needs to each vendor, from cake flavors to napkin colors. A good contract serves not only as an agreement on price, but also as a guide for both vendor and client. By clarifying your choices in writing, you reduce the chances of having a misunderstanding that could detract from the magic of your special day.
Many vendors provide standard contracts for their services. Be sure to read any contract carefully and don't sign an agreement that does not accurately reflect the services you will be receiving. We have compiled lists of the most common points to include in your wedding contracts. These lists are only examples of some of the points you may want to consider. If you have questions or doubts about a contract, you should obtain professional legal advice.
