Wedding Venue ContractI wanted to view a preliminary contract from Westbury Manor but they said it will only be drafted once I put the deposit down. Is this standard practice for all the wedding venues?? I have never heard of putting down money first...

Re: Wedding Venue ContractThey told me that I can pay the deposit over the phone and the contract can be written out later. Prob a bad idea to do it in this order?

Re: Wedding Venue ContractHave you visited them at all? Some people may do a deposit over the phone if they've already visited and wanted to secure their date. But yes the contract and deposit are usually done simultaneously. | |||

Re: Wedding Venue ContractI did but I am just worried about the contract not reflecting what we talked about. I think I have scared myself silly with all the horror stories online

Re: Wedding Venue ContractThey will draft the contract when you are ready to book and then you can review it and sign it before giving a deposit. If it is not what you agreed to then you can tell them and they can edit it to reflect that. If it still isn't what you agreed to then you can leave. | |||

Re: Wedding Venue ContractI wouldn't give them any money till I saw the contract, I don't think they need to have your money just so they can draw up the contract.

Re: Wedding Venue ContractJust spoke to FH and he said the BM said we had to give the deposit first before viewing the contract. I am going to repost to see if it happened to all the WM ladies. Thank you for all your opinions!!!!!!

Re: Wedding Venue ContractWhen we booked our RH we sat down and he went over everything we would be getting. We signed the contract then wrote the check out.

Re: Wedding Venue ContractEeeek. That does seem really sketchy that they wouldn't even show you a preliminary contract. On the actual contract, they should also reflect how much you put down and when you did. Giving them money makes the contract binding, but it can't be if you don't have a contract first. | |||

Re: Wedding Venue Contracti would say no contract, no money....they should be able to draft you a contract to look through, confirm it's everything you want and wish for, that you're ok with terminology, conditions, guarantees, etc and then you can leave a deposit...after all if the deposit is non-refundable, and you don't like something, ur sorta screwed?

Re: Wedding Venue ContractPosted by CandiRose921 Eeeek. That does seem really sketchy that they wouldn't even show you a preliminary contract. On the actual contract, they should also reflect how much you put down and when you did. Giving them money makes the contract binding, but it can't be if you don't have a contract first. Our RH actual gave us the contract to take home and review. Also, don't give them cash. If anything, give them a check so that you can track it later. Check out the 5 essential elements of vendor contracts so that when you do get the contract, it has everything you need to make it clear and thorough. Good luck!

Re: Wedding Venue ContractPS... why not question their business practice. If they gave me a hard time I would comment, you know so and so gave me a contract, I dont understand why you can't perhaps this wont work out. Most places want you business in this economy and will do what is needed to please you.
