The cake tasted nothing like the tasting. What "as represented" means in Texas
You went to the tasting. You picked the lemon raspberry. The cake at the wedding tasted like supermarket vanilla sheet cake. Is that a breach? Usually, yes.
- Photos of the tasting, ideally with you visible in frame for identity.
- Photos of the delivered cake, same angle if possible.
- The tasting menu / order sheet from the bakery.
Warning signs your vendor is about to go under (while you still have options)
Vendors rarely go out of business overnight. There''s usually 3–6 months of warning signs. Here''s what to watch for so you have time to protect yourself.
- Sudden "pre-payment discounts" of 15%+ for paying the remaining balance early. Legitimate vendors offer small incentives; desperate ones offer aggressive ones.
- Instagram and marketing going quiet: legitimate vendors post consistently. A six-week gap in social posting during busy season is unusual.
- Staff turnover: the lead photographer or planner assigned to you suddenly changes, and the new one is less experienced.
What $3K vs $12K actually buys you in an Austin wedding planner
The planner market in Austin ranges roughly $2,500 to $20,000+. Here''s what you get at the common tiers, and what "day-of coordination" actually means — because it''s the most misunderstood product in the industry.
- Runs the wedding day itself. 8–12 hours of on-site presence.
- Confirms vendor arrivals, manages the timeline, handles last-minute fires.
- Usually includes 1–2 pre-event meetings, a final venue walk-through, and vendor contact hand-off 30 days out.
