How does a written contract protect the event planning company?

A written contract serves as a critical legal document that articulates the expectations and responsibilities of all parties involved in the event planning process. It explicitly outlines the agreements made, which helps to safeguard the event planning company against claims that could arise from unmet agreements. This means that if there are disputes or misunderstandings about the services promised, the contract can be referred to as a reference point.

By clearly defining the scope of work, payment terms, timelines, and specific deliverables, the contract provides legal protection and recourse in the event that the conditions agreed upon are not met by either party. This is essential for maintaining accountability and ensuring that the event planning company can defend itself if a client asserts that an agreement was not upheld.
