Rehearsal dinner help

Do you have what was confirmed in writing? Or was it all verbal? If its in writing, it "should" be honored.

I would call the manager & ask to speak to them, then explain the situation. Just explain the original quoted price is what you budget for so you aren't sure what to do now and was wondering if you guys could figure out a deal. If not, can you local to local rec centers, VFWs, friends houses?

Couldn't you just get the food "to go" as that is the price you were quoted? Then take the food to someone's house to have the dinner? Or even rent a cheap hall to host everyone?

I would print out all the emails and go to the location to speak with a manager. Maybe they would be willing to work with you on price? That's quite a price difference. And if you asked detailed questions to confirm pricing, there's no reason they gave you wrong info. Maybe they'll agree to honor the initial pricing, or work with you bring it down from what they're quoting you at now. Maybe start looking for a different venue around your price range (check out places on here, or look at the Bash or Thumbtack)? Or if possible, get the food catered from there and find somewhere else to have it?

I would first talk to her manager. Sounds like she's covering for making a huge mistake. Show him the emails that was sent especially your questions. In the meantime I agree look on Thumbtack , local VFW or even doing a back yard/house event. RD doesn't have to be over the top but def. don't put it off look into this asap.

Please check out your local VFW, Fire Halls and American Legions they are so affordable and will not break the bank.
