Wedding scammers can short-change you, steal your money, and leave you without services at your wedding. It’s not a fun topic to think about, but all couples should be aware of wedding scammers and how to avoid them. Discover how you can protect yourself from wedding scammers with these tips.

Every couple should know how to avoid the most common wedding scams. While it may not be a fun topic to discuss, it is an essential one. It can help you avoid loss of money and embarrassment on your wedding day. Knowing how to avoid the most common wedding scams can also help to ensure you have the right protection, just in case something should go wrong. These tips can help.

Clarify, Please!

Probably the most important thing you need to know when learning how to avoid the most common wedding scams is that each and every item of your wedding should be clearly outlined in an itemized contract. From the number of flowers in each arrangement with your florist to who will DJ your wedding and how long they will be there, make sure that each vendor contract includes every detail that you and the vendor agreed upon. This binds your vendor to provide exactly what you asked for and agreed upon. It also gives you protection. Should you still be short-changed, you can use your contract in a court of law.

Play Detective

Yes, you already have a lot to do, but investigating your vendors is another one of the essential elements of knowing how to avoid the most common wedding scams. You can investigate your vendors by checking with the Better Business Bureau. Ask each vendor for references. Stop into their shop or location of business on an off day or an odd time unannounced to see if they are running a legitimate business. The more ways you investigate your vendors, the better protected you will be.

Pass the Buck

If all of this sounds too overwhelming, consider hiring a wedding coordinator. While it will cost you a little extra, hiring a coordinator means that you only have to investigate one vendor—your planner. They will manage everything else. When you use this tip, you don’t have to spend so much time trying to learn how to avoid the most common wedding scams.
