Venue stylists give wedding receptions that all-important ‘wow factor’. Taking a wedding venue from ‘pretty’ to ‘pretty spectacular’ is all in a day’s work for a venue stylist, but couples don’t always appreciate the amount of work that goes into the pre-planning of beautifying a venue and the risk involved – particularly to the dressing materials and decorations which can take hours to source and just as long to install. With venue dressing services becoming more and more in demand by wedding couples, our contract template for wedding venue stylists covers both the hire of the decorations and also your services as a venue dresser.
The work that goes into venue decor and decoration services, including the pre-planning and procurement of just the right items to complement a wedding theme, can leave venue stylists at risk if they’re not properly protected by robust terms and conditions covering their goods and services. When people let their hair down and alcohol is flowing, it’s not unusual for wedding parties to cause damage to furniture, linen and items of decor, however unintentional.
Our contract template for venue stylists sets out the agreement clearly, it outlines what happens in the event of property loss or damage and sets out cancellation and payment terms. It lets customers know exactly where they stand in all possible scenarios, giving clarity to both parties in a fair and reasonable way. This can avoid damage, loss or other disputes that are a time drain, not to mention unpleasant!
