I am a new business and I opened in July of this year. I have a bridal consignment shop and I also do wedding planning. So far I have not had any weddings booked and have sold 2 gowns and a few small other thing in my shop. I know everyone says it takes a while but even after doing a bridal show business has not picked up. Any advice?

I agree, Carolyn. I am a lawyer and I still used one to draft my Ombuds agreements. Of course, it's important to remember that contracts are meant to be a 'meeting of the minds'. If you don't have that the contract won't help much.

It is great to help friends, but business is business. You might want to talk to an attorney to help you put a contract together so you have the correct wording.
I use a contract for the bride. This why they know exactly what they are getting and if they need anything else . we can add it to the contract up to, Two week before the wedding
I use a "Letter of Agreement" - this details "eveything" I will be doing for the couple. If they are in agreement, they (the responsible party) signs the LOA. It's pretty straight forward - not legalese. Hope this helps
Hi. I am a new planner & although I am working on my 1st wedding (friends) I really do not have a contract I use. I have an event I need to submit a contract/agreement for, but have been cautioned about scaring off the clients with too much leagalese, yet need to make sure both parties have full understanding of our business together. That said would anyone mind sharing a sample contract with me? If not, my email is contact@desertlightweddings.com Thank you!
