Questions
What should an event planner contract cover?
What you'll do, when, the price and payment terms, what happens if plans change or someone cancels, and signatures. This template adds event planning terms, for example: the planner books vendors on the client's behalf; vendor contracts and payments are between the client and each vendor.
Is this contract legally binding?
A clear agreement signed by both sides is generally enforceable, but contract rules vary by state. For large jobs or unusual terms, have a local lawyer look it over.
Can I change the clauses?
Yes. Every heading and clause is editable, and blanks such as the notice period are for you to fill in. Remove anything that doesn't fit the job.
How do we sign it?
Download the PDF and sign it on paper, or upload the PDF to an e-signature tool. Each party keeps a signed copy.
