Contracts

Every vendor you partner with for your wedding celebration will require a contract. It’s essential to carefully review and sign each one.  The specifics will differ depending on the type of product or service they provide, so it’s crucial to fully understand the financial commitments and the details of what each vendor offers.

Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure your contracts are crystal clear! Here are some key categories to keep an eye on:

1. 1. Event date(s), start and end time, estimated number of guests, and location(s)
   2. Set-up and breakdown time
   3. Overtime fees and options
   4. Cut-off time for entertainment, alcohol service
   5. Does the venue have restrictions on items such as sparklers, fog machines, open-flame candles, etc.
   6. Does the venue or caterer provide tables, chairs, dance floor, linens, china, glassware, flatware, or will you need to rent them?
   7. When is the final guarantee due? (venue and catering)
