Hi Danielle, I've never done makeup independently before, I've always worked with hotels and I was wondering, how do I draw up a contract for this? I'm heading out on my own for the first time and have a wedding party to do.

Congrats on the gig! You can find simple sample contracts online by doing a search easily. The important things to include are: who & how many, how much, where the makeup will be done, the timeframe, the retainer/trial specifics, etc. You want to do a trial, charge a fee for that up front, then deduct the amount from the total when they pay you in full, which they should do before you do the work. I wouldn't take a personal check, cash or paypal/credit only. If you freelance I'm assuming you carry liability insurance, so they need to sign the waiver as well to protect you in case someone gets sick or hurt. You should both have copies of the contract/invoice for tax purposes. If you haven't done a wedding before of this size, take an assistant. These are just random things off the top of my head, but have a kill fee or deadline too. As in, if they cancel the week of, you still get paid. For the future, have a lawyer help you. Mine helped me with my contracts tremendously.
