Protecting yourself and your wedding is essential, so having a contract in place is one of the best ways to give yourself peace of mind.

The Importance of Contracts
Having contracts in place with your vendors is an excellent way to not only ensure that you get the end result you’re looking for, but also that you’re protecting yourself and your wedding. Hosting an event can open yourself up to certain liabilities, so it’s essential to make sure that you’re on the right track and that you’re protecting yourself and your partner as much as possible.
Know What to Look For
When it comes to vendor contracts there are a couple things that you want to look for. What are the most important things are clear terms that you feel comfortable with. If a contract isn’t clear, ask for the vendor themselves to clarify. (Bonus points if you can get this in writing!)
It’s essential to make sure that the contract is clear about pricing dates and timelines, so that everyone is on the right track and you know that there are protections in place if anything is missed.
Ask Questions
If there’s something that you’re unsure about in a contract, it’s important to ask not only the vendor themselves but also a legal party. This is the best way to make sure that you’re on the right track and that you’re not signing something that you’ll regret later. When in doubt it’s best to play it safe and only sign something that you’re positive will be beneficial for you in the future.
No Contract?
While it’s a good idea to have a contract with most of your vendors, this may not be the right choice for every single vendor. If there are vendors or play a minor role in your big day, there may not be a reason to have a contract. If you’re not sure which vendors you should have contracts for, ask an expert or do some research on your own to make sure that you’re on the right track and that nothing is being missed or forgotten.
