✔ Facing disputes over refunds, rescheduling, or obligations
✔ Miscommunications about releasing the wedding date to other clients
✔ Negative reviews or damage to your professional reputation

This agreement removes the guesswork, ensuring that both parties understand the terms of a cancellation while safeguarding your business.
