Once you’ve decided to work with a
particular wedding service provider, get a written contract or
letter of confirmation. It should include your name and
address, their name and address, a definition of the specific
service you’ve contracted, times of arrival and departure,
goods that will be delivered and time of delivery, contracted
costs, overtime costs, deposit paid and balance due.
Your contract should also include
several important dates:
• Your wedding date;
• Date contract was written#;
• Date your deposit was paid; and
• Date the balance is due.
Include all the details you’ve agreed
upon. The more details you write in the contract, the more
likely you are to receive everything you’ve discussed when the
wedding arrives, (which may be 18 months from the time your
contract is made.) List the specific type and number of
flowers in each bouquet; the specified dinner menu; the
flavors of the cake; the poses you definitely want for your
photo album, or any other information.
It is also a good idea to reconfirm the
details several weeks before your wedding, especially for
services that were discussed many months before the actual
date.
