Wedding vendors write contracts to protect themselves. We read every clause and tell you what to push back on — in 24 to 48 hours, from $59.
Client agrees to a non-refundable retainer equal to fifty percent (50%) of the contracted total, due upon signing. A gratuity of twenty percent (20%) will be added to the food & beverage minimum and may be adjusted annually at Venue’s sole discretion. Final guest count must be confirmed no fewer than thirty (30) days prior…
Clause 4(b) lets the venue raise gratuity above 20% without your approval.
No refund path if the venue is the one that cancels.
Hourly overtime reads ‘at venue’s sole discretion.’
Vendor contracts are written by vendors, for vendors. We translate every clause that affects your wallet and your wedding day.
Clauses that renew vendors without written notice.
Service, cake-cutting, and overtime charges in fine print.
What happens if the venue cancels, not you.
Non-refundable cutoffs that trigger earlier than you think.
Lists that lock you into preferred caterers and pricing.
Who pays if a guest is hurt or something breaks.
Drag in PDFs, DOCX, or screenshots. Venue, caterer, DJ, photographer, florist — whatever you have.
A contracts specialist reviews every clause line-by-line in 24–48 hours and writes plain-English findings.
A flagged report plus redline language you can paste straight into your vendor reply.
Every flag has three parts: what the clause says, what it means in practice, and the exact language you can send back to the vendor.
“A gratuity of twenty percent (20%) will be added to the food & beverage minimum and may be adjusted annually at Venue’s sole discretion.”
Your 20% gratuity can rise to 22% or 25% before your event date without your approval.
“Please revise 4(b) to fix gratuity at 20% of the final contracted F&B total, not adjustable after signing.”
Bindly was founded by Shawn Tretter, who spent fifteen years in corporate contracts and event planning vendor work. After reviewing his own wedding vendors, he kept hearing the same question from friends: “Is this contract normal?” — and Bindly was the answer.
Every Bindly review is checked and verified by a contracts specialist before it reaches your inbox. You get expert eyes on every clause — because contract language is full of exceptions that require real judgment.
