Wedding Bus. 001

Get it in writing. When I took Bus Law in college several years ago, I had the great fortune of having Bob Guenzel as my instructor. Bob said that "disagreements generally arise, not because the parties are dishonest, but because they don't communicate worth a darn (Bob was a 'tell it like it is' kind of guy).

So, avoid future frustrations and disagreements. Make sure you get all price quotes and so forth in writing. And, if a wedding vendor offers to throw in something extra, ask them to please write that on the price list, too. This is crucial, not because the vendor is dishonest. It is crucial because, as Mr. Guenzel said, sometimes people just don't communicate worth a darn.
