1. A model release:

As an Event / Wedding Planner, note that before you can use your clients’ images and videos on your social media pages, website, etc, you need a model release [a consent clause or form that gives you permission to use their images]. Without this permission, they can ask you to pull the photos down or even sue you for using their images for marketing without their permission. Remember to include a consent form for guests as well – especially when you’re planning an event for high profile clients and celebrities.

2. The scope of work.

Your event / wedding planning pricing guide or contract must spell out exactly what your clients should expect for what package. Also indicate what is not included [if need be] so your clients know exactly what they’re paying for. If they’re choosing your full wedding planning package, what exactly will you do? How many event / wedding planning consultations will they be they entitled to? Who will they be speaking to? The lead planner? A coordinator? Will you be there on the actual wedding day? Or should they expect to work with another member of your team? Be super specific so that there’s no confusion.

3. A liability clause.

If you’re hiring and getting hired without a liability clause in your wedding planning contract, please fix this right now. Your event / wedding planning contract should clearly communicate what happens if the rented spaces or logistics get damaged and who will be responsible for what. E.g. “…the client indemnifies the Planner and will be responsible for damages to rented property that are as a result of the actions or inactions of the clients and their guests…”
