BEWARE OF THE CONTRACTS ON YOUR WEDDING SUPPLIERS

For each professional who will provide the services for your wedding, you should firm up all the details and get a contract or letter describing the details of the products or services he or she will provide. The contract or letter of agreement should include the costs and should be signed by both parties.

Having a contact will give you and the service providers a peace of mind and ensure there are no misunderstandings. It’s also your best defense against inferior or inadequate service before the fact. However, if something should go wrong, you have the written contract to help renegotiate the price or provide evidence in case of litigation.


Contracts or Letters of Agreements needed for the following professionals:


¨                Baker
¨                Bridal Salon
¨                Caterer
¨                Ceremony Location
¨                Florist
¨                Musicians
¨                Photographer
¨                Reception Hall
¨                Rental Equipment Company
¨                Stationery Provider
¨                Transportation Service
¨                Tuxedo Rental Shop
¨                Wedding Consultant

Be sure to get a contract from anyone else who may be providing goods or services.


Items that the contract or letter of agreement should contain:

à                     Day, date, and time
à                     Delivery dates, times, and locations
à                     Detailed list of merchandise ordered
à                     List of services to be provided, number of hours, breaks, etc.
à                     Appropriate dress
à                     Name of person in charge of your wedding
à                     Alternative merchandise or service
à                     Deposits or payment schedules
