If an event planner sends their client a contract and the client's secretary forges her bosses signature are they still legally responsible for their end of the contract?

People sign contracts on behalf of others all the time. The only issue for you is whether the person who signed was authorized to do so. That is not forgery at all but simply acting as an authorized agent. If you are unsure of the secretary's authority, you should ask the client to confirm his intention to be bound in writing.
