Venue Contracts?? Advice please

Ooh that sounds a bit odd. Maybe call one of the wedding insurer providers and get some advice? We are using John Lewis who were very helpful.

Hope someone here can offer more advice in terms of the legal issues. Good luck

An email is contractual. It's understandable if they only have a few wedding a year but a contract is hardly difficult to put together.

If they are serious about their stuff they should have one really.

I don't think i'd be comfortable without a contract myself.

I wouldn't be happy handing over money for something without proof of what was agreed. I don't see why they can't just type up on headed paper, in detail what service they are offering you. If they don't I would type one up myself get them to read it and if agreed both sign it, just tell them your insurers insist on it. My dress may have been pre-loved but I asked the seller to write a receipt out for it as I wanted proof of purchase in case I needed to claim, but then I am a worrier!
