One of our most basic needs as humans is to feel protected. But as humans, our desires to have particular items are sometimes so great that the very desire itself overshadows the risks that accompany it. This is often true when we feel that this is our one and only opportunity to have or create an experience; such as purchasing a house, buying an ultimate car and yes planning a dream wedding. Knowing what pitfalls to look for in and addressing them upfront will ultimately save you, your finance and family money and grief throughout the wedding planning process. Here are a few pitfalls that I seek to protect my clients from:
- Escalation Clauses
- Inappropriate Substitutions
- Unqualified Fees
I also review the contract to see what client consideration, if any, is offered. Last thought, a typical wedding budget amounts to a down payment on the purchase of a home; one wouldn’t walk into a closing prepared to sign documents without a lawyer by their side and having reviewed the documents. So why would you not seek the same protection when contracting vendors for your big day!!!!
