164: Should Wedding Planners Actually Sign Contracts For Their Clients?


Listen Later

Today's episode is focused squarely on the world of wedding planners and vendors. Specifically  why, in most cases, legally speaking planners might want to hit the brakes on signing those vendor contracts on behalf of their clients.


Yep, you guessed it—there are some serious legal angles to consider! Legal liability and risk management being the key one.


Ever had clients raising eyebrows over a certain clause? We've got you covered.
Curious about who should be adding their John Hancock to that model release? (Think here both parents in a family photo shoot or only one?!)


In episode 164 of The Legal Paige Podcast, we share why strongly advise against ever signing on your client's behalf. The lines of who the client is and who is liable to the vendors if the worst happens (think cancellation or rescheduling, or a natural disaster, or someone gets injured or hurt) becomes blurry. You do not want to be stuck in a situation where you are fighting with your clients AND event vendors on who is liable if/when the worst happens. In legal terms, this is called ‘joint and several liability’ and we are trying to help you avoid being on the hook for those sticky situations.
