Question 1

Do Both Members Of The Couple Need To Sign A Wedding Contract?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended. Though it's no fun to think about worst-case scenarios, you want either member of the couple to be able to make changes or terminate a contract if the couple splits up or someone dies. That's exponentially harder to do if you're not included in the contract in the first place.

Question 2

Can I Negotiate Or Ask To Have Something Removed From A Contract?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! A wedding contract summarises an agreement between two parties and should only be signed once the two parties completely agree on its terms. Discuss the revisions you'd like to see in the contract with your vendor before you give it your signature.

Question 3

What Is A Contingency Plan?

Accepted Answer

Generally speaking, two types of contingency plans are needed in an event:
Contingency if there is an issue with the event itself
Contingency if there is an issue with the vendor

Any vendor that is a single provider of services should give you an idea of what happens if they become sick or unable to work your event. They'll usually have an associate or backup professional that can take their place, and you'll want to be sure the plan is clear in the contract. Contingency plans needed if there is an issue with the event itself—weather-related, for example—might not always be explicitly listed in the contract. However, those are still things you'll want to discuss with your vendor in advance.

Question 4

What is included in a wedding contract?

Accepted Answer

Dates and times of all services (including the time the vendor should arrive) Date of the wedding. Names of all parties involved in the agreement. The deposit and final payment amounts (plus the payment schedule)

Question 5

Can you cancel a wedding contract?

Accepted Answer

Many wedding contracts — but not all — contain a force majeure clause that allows either party to terminate the agreement if an event of nature (or an “act of God”), such as a hurricane, or an act by a third party, such as a strike or terrorist attack, has made it impossible for the parties to meet their obligations.
