The story

The pain

We thought we had a solid contract for a private event, but when the guest count fell from 150 to 110, the host kept asking for more and more extras—early access, elaborate setup, multiple days of storage—stretching a 5-hour event into over 12 hours of site access. Our cost breakdown was too simple, and we had no way to protect ourselves. Now we're looking for contract provisions that actually cover these scope creep scenarios.

The cost framework of the contract did establish a minimum spend for a Saturday evening buyout, but the cost components were overly simple — just food & bev per person. Separate line item for service. The reduced guest count gave host the impression that they should keep asking for more and more. And more.
