Before You Book
Before you book, check the wedding details that can change everything later.
The best time to ask hard wedding planning questions is before the booking. Once the deposit is paid, options narrow, deadlines move closer, and small details can turn into expensive constraints.
Before booking a venue
Review guest minimums, package limits, rain plan, outside vendor rules, service charges, access windows, cancellation terms, and total cost.
Before hiring vendors
Review scope, deliverables, timing, backup plans, add-ons, travel fees, overtime, payment schedule, cancellation terms, and ownership of responsibilities.
Before signing or paying
Make sure promises are written, fees are clear, dates are accurate, deliverables are listed, and the contract gives enough flexibility for realistic planning changes.
Questions To Ask
Use these questions before signing, paying, or confirming.
- What happens if plans change after the deposit?
- Which costs are missing from the quote or package?
- What questions should be asked before signing?
- Is the contract clear enough to protect the decision?
How Wedding Wedge Fits
A smarter second look before commitment.
Wedding Wedge is not a vendor directory, paid placement marketplace, law firm, or replacement for a planner. It gives couples an independent planning layer that connects ideas, venues, vendors, guest count, budget, destination, contract terms, and hidden costs.
Important: Wedding Wedge contract guidance is not legal advice. Couples should still consult a qualified attorney before signing important agreements.
