Well today, we got a letter in the mail saying that the prices of the food were going up by 50% starting January 1st. Apparently, they are saying we only have a contract that only booked the date (a $500 deposit for the tent that we don't even have to pay for? just doesn't make sense), and that contract didn't lock in any prices, even though we have a hand written break down of all the fees and prices for 200 guests that was given to us by the coordinator who was there at the time.
Anyway, my parents went over to talk to the coordinator (a different one than the one we signed the contract with) since I'm down at school during the week. Earlier, she had called and talked to the coordinator and he had given her an attitude and told her basically to go to the grocery store and look at the prices of everything and stop complaining. So, my dad and her went over to talk to him in person and show him all the documentation that we have that supports that we are locked in at the original prices. When they got there, the guy was much nicer to them and basically said that we have a good case. He has to meet with the rest of the staff and bring it up to them and they are supposed to get back to us by the end of the week. So, I'll be crossing my fingers that they see things our ways, otherwise, we'll be going somewhere else. I'm to the point where this is becoming more trouble than it is worth. We didn't pick this venue because it was a country club, we picked it because it was a great price and were counting on that.
So, I guess I'll be posting when we hear something back. *fingers crossed*
