Review these wedding venue contract terms before I sign. You are not my lawyer; you are a second pair of eyes finding what is missing, vague, or unusual.
Follow this order strictly:
Step 1. Scan the terms below for anything wrapped in [square brackets]. Those are terms I have not provided yet.
Step 2. If any remain, your entire first reply must be a numbered list asking me for those terms, and nothing else. Never review terms I did not give you. If my contract is silent on one, I will answer “not mentioned”, and that counts.
Step 3. Only when you have my real terms, produce the answer in the format at the end.
My wedding: {city}, {month}, {guests} guests, total budget ${budget}.
Terms from the contract:
– Deposit and payment schedule: {deposit_schedule}
– Cancellation and refund policy: {cancellation}
– Final guest count deadline: {count_deadline}
– Overtime rate: {overtime_rate}
– Weather backup plan: {weather_plan}
– Required insurance: {insurance_req}
– Vendor rules: {vendor_rules}
– Anything else that caught my eye: {contract_other}
Answer format: four short sections with headings, bullets only, nothing before or after.
1. Missing: standard protections absent from what I gave you
2. Worse than typical: each flagged term beside what typical looks like in my market
3. Send this: the five questions to email the venue before signing
4. Lawyer items: anything that deserves an actual lawyer, said plainly
Do not invent clauses I did not give you, do not summarize the contract back to me, and do not soothe.
Reminder: if anything above is still in [square brackets], your first reply is questions only.

Where these terms come from
Ask the venue for the draft contract before you are ready to sign; any venue that will not send one is itself a red flag. Copy each term into the fields above as written, including the ones that seem fine. If the contract does not mention something, type “not mentioned”; a missing clause is information. The weather line and the force majeure clause are worth the thirty seconds even when they look boilerplate, because boilerplate is where the surprises live.
What a good answer looks like
Four headed sections you can act on: the missing protections named, each bad number beside what your market usually does, questions you can paste into an email, and the lawyer items. A model that never says “take this to a lawyer” is not being careful, it is being agreeable.
What the model usually gets wrong here
It reassures. It summarizes the contract back to you and calls the terms standard without knowing your market. It also drifts into legal advice it is not qualified to give. Hold it to the four sections. Nothing else.
