Diva Don't of the Day!

Don't just sign a contract for an event vendor without reading it first! Make sure you understand what you are paying for, how much you are paying and when each payment is due. Additionally before you sign make sure you know what will happen in cases of weather emergencies, union strikes or cancelled events. Also write in provisions you discuss with the venue representative and ask them to sign the updated contract---if they promise you an extra hour free for event set-up, get it in writing!
