Event supplier booking

This agreement is made on 2 February 2027 between Harbour Events Ltd (the "Client") and Golden Spoon Catering (the "Supplier").

Client contact: Elena Rossi, +44 7700 900321, elena@harbour.example
Supplier contact: James Carter, +44 7700 900654, james@goldenspoon.example

1. The event

Event: Annual company dinner
Date: 15 May 2027
Venue: The Boathouse, 3 Quay Road
Guests: 120

2. What the Supplier provides

Three-course dinner for 120 guests, including vegetarian and vegan options
Staff: 1 manager and 8 servers
Crockery, cutlery and glassware
Clear up after the event

Special requests:

Two guests with severe nut allergy: separate preparation

3. Times

Arrive 13:00, set up by 17:00, service 19:00 to 22:30, packed out by 23:30

The Supplier will arrive on time, be ready before the event begins and leave the area clean, unless this agreement says otherwise.

4. What the Client provides

Access to the kitchen from 13:00
Final guest numbers and dietary needs 14 days before
A contact on the day

The Client will also tell the Supplier of any venue rules, access limits and changes to the plan as soon as they are known.

5. Fee and payment

Total fee: GBP 9,600 plus tax
Deposit: GBP 2,400, due on signing
Balance due: 14 days before the event

The booking is confirmed when the deposit is received. Any extra work the Client asks for is agreed in writing and priced first.

6. Changes

Changes to the number of guests, the times or the service must be agreed in writing. The Supplier will try to meet changes made late but may charge for extra costs.

7. Cancellation

More than 60 days before: deposit refunded less 10%.
30 to 60 days: deposit kept.
Under 30 days: 75% of the total fee due.

If the Supplier cannot provide the service, it tells the Client at once, refunds all money paid and, where it can, suggests a similar supplier.

8. Standards and safety

The Supplier will have the licences, insurance and training that its work needs, follow health, safety and food hygiene rules, and take reasonable care of the venue and the Client's property. The Client will tell the Supplier of known hazards at the venue.

9. Events outside control

If the event cannot go ahead because of events neither side can control, such as severe weather, a venue closing or a public order, the parties will try to move the date. If that is not possible, the Supplier refunds money paid, less costs it has already spent and cannot recover.

10. Liability and law

Neither side is liable for loss that could not have been foreseen. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited. The law of England and Wales applies, and its courts decide disputes.

Questions people ask

What details does this template ask for?

The form asks for 18 details, starting with Date of this booking, Client or organiser, Client's contact person, phone and email, Supplier, Supplier's contact person, phone and email. 3 more are optional.

Can I download this template as Word or PDF?

Yes. When you have filled in the form, save it as a Word document to keep editing, or as a PDF to send or print. It is free and needs no account.

Is what I type sent anywhere?

No. What you type stays in your browser while you fill in the document. It only goes to nerix if you choose to open the template in the chat.

What should I check before I use this template?

This is a template, not legal advice. Deposit, cancellation and liability rules, and licences for music, food and alcohol, vary by country and venue. Check what applies and add any rule the venue sets.

Are these contract templates free?

Most are. You can fill in and download them for free as Word or PDF, with no account. A few long business agreements are premium: free to fill in, paid once to download, and marked with their price.

Is a template contract legally valid?

A signed agreement is usually valid when both sides understand and accept it, but rules differ by country and by type of contract. Treat a template as a careful starting point and check what applies where you are.

Do I need a lawyer to use a template?

For simple, low risk agreements many people do not. For large sums, property, employment disputes or anything unusual, ask a lawyer to review the draft first.

Can I change the terms?

Yes. Download the Word version and edit it, or ask nerix in the chat to make a clause stricter, shorter or in another language.
