Elopements, micro-weddings, all-inclusive, venue-only… how many different contracts are floating around your venue? Each one is a liability time bomb.
The Multi-Contract Trap
Table of Contents
Your venue probably has:
- Basic wedding contract
- Micro-wedding version
- Elopement package contract
- Corporate event agreement
- All-inclusive contract
- À la carte version
- Holiday pricing edition
And that’s before counting revisions.
Where It Goes Wrong
Every different contract means:
- More chances for mistakes
- Confused staff members
- Mixed-up versions
- Missed obligations
- Legal gaps
Real Venue Nightmare
One venue found out the hard way when they used their “old corporate contract” instead of the “new corporate contract.” The difference? A crucial force majeure clause that could have saved them $15,000.
The One-Contract Solution
Smart venues use:
- One master contract
- Clear package addendums
- Single revision system
- Consistent legal language
- Simple pricing sheets
Make It Work
Your one contract should:
- Cover all legal basics
- Include core protections
- Allow for add-ons
- Scale for any event
- Stay consistently updated
The Payoff
One solid contract means:
- Clear obligations
- Easier training
- Better compliance
- Fewer mistakes
- Stronger protection
Bottom Line
Stop juggling multiple contracts. One solid agreement beats ten mediocre ones every time.
