The Wedding Planner Contract is a document for putting a performance engagement on paper before work begins. It carries a cover page, a formal preamble naming both parties, ten numbered legal clauses covering services, event details, payment, expenses, changes, termination, force majeure and more, and an acceptance page with authorization checkbox and dual e-signatures.
It preserves Bonsai's doc-builder components — a fee table with computed total inside the Payment clause, a signature block on the acceptance page, and merge fields that pull Sender, Receiver, and Date automatically. Rename the Wedding Planner label to match your business, edit the scope and fees, and send.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
What is the deposit policy? A twenty-five percent (25%) non-refundable retainer is due on signature to hold the date, and the balance is due seven (7) days before the Event.
What happens if the Event date or venue changes? Section 5 covers Event & Venue Changes — the Wedding Planner may require additional fees for material changes, and may terminate if unable to accommodate them.
What if the Wedding Planner cannot perform on the day? Section 7 covers Non-Performance — the Wedding Planner will refund any fees paid, or with the Client's consent provide a qualified replacement.
