6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

How to Create a Wedding Planner Questionnaire - Things to Keep in Mind

There are different ways to create a wedding plan questionnaire, but there are some key elements that all good questionnaires should include.

Here are some tips for creating an effective event-planning questionnaire:

Keep it short and sweet

Wedding planning questionnaires should be short and to the point. They should only ask essential questions to help you understand your client's needs.

Sweeten the deal by offering a discount or freebie for completing the questionnaire.

Make it engaging

You need to make it engaging to get your clients to fill out your questionnaire. Use questions that are interesting and relevant to your clients.

Avoid using yes/no questions, and try to use open-ended questions that will give you more information.

Make it visually appealing

No one wants to fill out a boring questionnaire. Make your questionnaire visually appealing by using images, graphics, and color. You can also use fun fonts to make your questionnaire more engaging.

Make it easy to understand

Your questionnaire should be easy to understand, with clear and concise questions. Wedding planning can be complex, so your questionnaire should be simple and straightforward.

If the client has to think too much about the answer, they may not bother filling it out at all.

Include multiple-choice and open-ended questions

To get the most information from your clients, include both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. This will give you a well-rounded picture of what the client is looking for.

One way to do this is to use a Likert scale, which is a type of multiple-choice question that uses a scale to measure opinion.

You can also use open-ended questions to get more detailed information about the client’s wedding style, their favorite things, or anything else that you think would be helpful to know.

Include a call-to-action

Ensure your clients know what you want them to do with the questionnaire. Include a call to action at the end of the questionnaire, such as “Please return this questionnaire to your wedding planner” or “Please email this questionnaire to your wedding planner.”

How Do You Format the Questions in the Questionnaire?

Your questionnaire should be divided into sections, with each section focusing on a different aspect of the wedding planning process.

Here are some sections that you may want to include in your questionnaire:

The Basics

This section should include clients’ preference questions to help you understand their wedding vision. This is where you can ask about the wedding date, budget, guest count, and other important details.

Some of the questions that you may want to include are:

  • When is the wedding date?: Helps you understand if the client is flexible with their date.
  • What is the wedding budget?: This will help you understand what kind of services the client can afford and help you set realistic budget.
  • What is your Wedding style? (e.g., formal, casual, Destination, etc.): Helps you understand the client’s vision for their wedding. Knowing the wedding style will also help you to make recommendations for reception venue, vendors, and other services.
  • What is the Wedding theme?: A theme can be anything from “Winter Wonderland” to “Vintage Glam.” Having a theme will help you to understand the overall tone of the wedding venue and make recommendations accordingly.
  • Have you ever hired an event planner? If yes, please describe the experience: This question will help you to understand the client’s expectations and needs.

Overview of the event

This section should include questions about the events that will take place on the wedding day.

You can use this section to ask about the ceremony, reception details, and other events that the clients are planning.

Some of the questions that you may want to include are:

  • Do you plan on having a first look?: A first look is when the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony. This can be a special moment for the couple and will also help to calm their nerves before the big day.
  • Do you plan on having speeches?: Speeches are typically given by close friends or family members of the bride and groom. This is a great way to personalize the wedding and make it more memorable for the guests.
  • What atmosphere or tone would you like to set?: Music, lighting, and decorations can all help to set the tone for the wedding. This is your opportunity to make sure that the wedding day reflects the client’s personality and style.
  • What type of food do you want?: There are many different options when it comes to food, so it’s important to ask the client what they are looking for. Some couples may want a sit-down meal, while others may prefer a buffet or station.

Learning about the invites

Knowing who is invited to the wedding is important for many reasons. First, it will help you to understand the size of the event.

Second, it can help you to make sure that everyone receives an invitation. Finally, it will help you to know if there are any special guests that need to be accommodated.

Some of the questions that you may want to include are:

  • Who is invited to the wedding?: This will help you understand how many people will attend the event. Also, you can request a list of names and addresses so that you can send out the invitations.
  • Do you have any VIP guests or people with personal challenges?: This will help you to make sure that all of the important guests are taken care of. You may need to make special arrangements for transportation, accommodations, or food allergies.
  • Are there any children invited to the wedding?: This will help you to know if you need to make arrangements for childcare. It is also important to know if the children will be sitting with their parents or with other guests.

Finals Details for the Big Day

The final details of the wedding are just as important as the planning. This is your opportunity to make sure that everything is in place for the big day.

Some of the questions that you may want to include are:

  • Do you intend to have a host, live entertainment, speakers, or other presenters for the wedding party?: This will help you to make sure that all of the necessary equipment is available.
  • Are there any other details that we need to know?: This is your chance to ask about anything that you may have forgotten.
  • Do you plan to purchase event insurance?: This is an important question, as event insurance can protect you from unforeseen problems.

Now Build an Event Planning Questionnaire

Now that you know what to include in a wedding planner questionnaire, you can start building your own.

Use the questions above as a starting point, and make sure to tailor the questions to fit your specific needs.

Remember, the more information you have, the better prepared you will be to plan your next event questionnaire. Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about this template.

What is the difference between a wedding coordinator and planner?

Simple--a wedding planner is involved with the entire wedding process whereas a coordinator is only responsible for the logistics of the wedding.

What is the target market for wedding planners?

Wedding planners should target engaged couples who are looking to plan a wedding. These are warmer prospects as they are already looking to have a wedding and your services could be of use.

What should be in a wedding planner?

A wedding planner handles everything from A to Z. From payments, schedules, vendor meetings, details, timelines, and budgets. The planner works closely with the to-be married couple to plan the perfect wedding.
