EVENTVALE
A wedding or event vendor contract is a legally binding document. Before you sign, make sure you understand every clause.
Exactly what is the vendor providing? Be specific. "Decoration" is vague — "Mandap decor with fresh flowers, 6 centrepieces, and entrance arch" is clear.
How much is the advance? When are milestone payments due? Never pay 100% upfront.
What happens if you cancel? What if the vendor cancels? Look for force majeure clauses too.
Events run late. Know the hourly rate for overtime before you need it.
For photographers, videographers, caterers — who fills in if they're unavailable on the day?
When does setup start? When is teardown? Get specific times, not just dates.
Who is responsible if something gets damaged during setup or the event?
Pro tip: Have a lawyer review contracts over ₹50,000. It's worth the peace of mind.
