Question from a Bride and Groom . .
Do we need to sign a contract with our wedding vendors?
Response: YES YES YES . . Before the contract is signed, all parties should be in agreement with the contents of the contract. Errors, mis-statements and mis-spellings should not be on a contract. Before the contract is signed it should be reviewed or proof-read by a third party for accuracy, spelling and clarity.
Remember NO ONE accurately remembers all the topics and subjects discussed in a verbal contract that was discussed months in advance of the wedding.
I once had a Bride call me a few days before her wedding. "Do you know any DJs? We thought we hired a DJ for our wedding reception but we just called him and he has another wedding booked."
"Did you sign a contract with this DJ?, I asked the Bride.
"No", the Bride said.
"Well, then you didn't hire him, you just thought you did", I said.
"Didn't anyone talk about signing a contract or reserving the date with a deposit? We just asked him if he had our date and time available," and he said, "Yes."
Remember . . asking about availability is NOT hiring a vendor.
And that's why the Bride was searching for a DJ a few days before her wedding reception.
