Free Wedding Planner
Service Agreement
One minute you're picking flowers, the next you're eating a $10,000 venue deposit because the bride got cold feet and your paperwork didn't cover your hide. If you don't lock down your liability, you're just a high-priced volunteer waiting for a lawsuit to bankrupt you.
Pro Contractor Tip
Strictly define a 'Non-Refundable Retainer' to ensure your labor is paid for even if the couple calls it quits before the big day.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Wedding Planner, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the client starts adding extra tasks three days before the wedding?
That's scope creep eating your profit; use your contract to define a 'Change Order' process that triggers additional hourly fees for any work outside the original blueprint.
How do I stop myself from chasing a drunk father-of-the-bride for a check at midnight?
Hardline your payment schedule so the final balance is cleared 30 days before the event, or you don't show up to the job site.
Am I on the hook if the florist doesn't show up or the cake falls over?
You aren't an insurance policy for third-party screw-ups; use a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to clarify that you coordinate vendors but don't pay for their mistakes.
