What happens if a vendor you recommended has a problem?
What wedding planning businesses need to publish
Couples often assume more protection exists than actually does, and this is worth clarifying before signing rather than after a problem.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “What happens if a vendor you recommended has a problem?”
- “vendor cancels last minute”
- “are you liable for vendors”
- “who's responsible for the caterer”
What a complete answer contains
For wedding planning businesses specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 4:
- 1
The real relationship — recommended, not guaranteed by the planner
- 2
That the contract for vendor services is between the couple and vendor
- 3
What the planner does do if a problem arises
- 4
How vendors are vetted in the first place
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
We only recommend vendors we trust and have worked with before, but the contract for their services is between you and them directly, not us — so we're not financially liable for a vendor's own performance. What we do is help you vet vendors carefully upfront, and step in to manage the problem actively if one comes up.

What silence costs
This misunderstanding, discovered after a real vendor failure, is one of the most damaging trust breaks in the industry.

AI customer support for wedding planners
Couples shopping for a wedding planner are usually comparing package tiers without understanding what actually differs between them — day-of coordination is a completely different scope and price than full planning. RubyRep explains that distinction clearly, and is honest about the planner's role with vendors: recommending and coordinating, not standing behind every vendor's own contract.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
