About this template
What is this template?
This document is a service contract for wedding planning that includes specific placeholders for ceremony and reception locations. It contains a reciprocal cancellation clause that requires the Planner to find a substitute if they cancel. It is not a general event management agreement for recurring corporate functions.
When should you use it?
Use this when a couple or individual is hiring a wedding coordinator and needs to define the refund schedule based on the event date. Use a general Service Agreement if the event is not a wedding or lacks specific ceremony and reception location requirements.
