F is for Force Majeure

In this Instagram reel, I talk about what a force majeure is.

A force majeure event is an act of God, or something that is out of the control of both you and your clients but impacts your ability to provide services. Extreme weather, global pandemics, and government actions are all examples of force majeure events, and reasons why you’ll be grateful that your contract includes a force majeure clause.

My best tip is to predict the unpredictable when it comes to the force majeure section of your contract:

- Define what a force majeure event is so both you and your clients know when it might apply

- State what happens if a force majeure event occurs during the planning stage of your contract or on the wedding day itself

- Always address what happens with the money you have been paid or are still owed should a force majeure event occur
