Anyone interested in the North Ritz Club for Sunday evening of Labor Day Weekend, September 5th 2004? I've cancelled my wedding there...Update, the story of how I got my $$ back.

I am no longer getting married on this date because of a new job opportunity that my fiance has recieved. I had all my vendors booked and it would be a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in planning a wonderful wedding QUICK. Please let me know if you are interested.

Monday is a holiday so Sunday night is really like a Saturday night! But without the Saturday prices and minimums.

UPDATE: I just wanted to let you all know that North Ritz Club actually rebooked my date and gave me every cent of my money back. This is a small miracle because I cancelled about 2 1/2 months before the wedding was scheduled to take place. I am very grateful and appreciative it all worked out so well, but I’m alittle puzzled by the how it all went down. I called NRC on September 4th (the night before the wedding) and asked if there was anything scheduled for the following evening or if it would be available to come look at. (I didn't tell them who I was). I was told that there was a wedding scheduled. You can imagine my surprise because when I cancelled they told me they would call me if the date was rebooked. They never called. But, on a whim I decided to call them anyway. Once I got my consultant on the phone and explained who I was and why I was calling she asked 'what she could do for me?' Again, I was a bit surprised so I replied, 'well, you've rebooked my date and I'd like my money back.' She put me on hold and checked it out. She came back and said she would leave a note for the accountant and that I should get a check in a few weeks. A month went by and I got nothing, so I called again. I was told that I should get it any day. I never got it. I ended up just going there to pick up a check (obviously one was never mailed). When I got there they had a record of my payments, but they were missing one of the payments. So they gave me back the amount that their records showed I paid. I went to the bank and got a copy of the check that they didn't have a record of, went back to NRC and showed it to them. They immediately gave me a check for that amount. So now we are all settled. I am extremely grateful they gave me my money back and were wonderful to work with for the most part. I am confused however as to why nobody ever called me when my date was booked, I wonder if I ever would have found out if I didn't call them the day before. I also thought it was odd that they didn't have a record of all my payments and that I had to go the bank and get proof, but what really annoyed me is that nobody apologized for the missing payment. I expected a 'I don't know how we missed that, I'm sorry.' But whatever! I’ve got my money and I’m happy.

And if the bride who booked my date is out there THANK YOU!!!! I hope you had a beautiful wedding day.

The date is not cursed. Things like this happen all the time. I had another hall tell me they can't keep October 2nd booked, three times they had it booked and three times they had a cancellation.

I'll let a friend of mine know - she may be interested - did you rebook the NRC for another date?

Unfortunately, no. I need a Saturday night because of FI's new schedule (he will be out of town every week and home on Friday night until Sunday afternoon for six months) and the NRC has no more Saturday nights until 2005. We're not willing to wait that long, we've already been engaged for almost two years so we are looking into other options. If your friend is interested that would be amazing! I got a great price. She also wouldn't have a hard time getting awesome vendors because all mine will be available. Thanks.

Wow, I was originally thinking of that weekend, Sunday night for my wedding, but to many people said that they plan weekends away on Labor day so my attendance wouldn't be good. Well, I hope you find someone.

I loved that we were having our wedding that weekend. People always seem ready to party. Summer is my favorite season and I love how Labor Day Weekend is kind of like a celebration of summer. It worked out perfectly for my out of town guests too who didn't have to take extra time off of work if they didn't want to because of the long weekend. I also had a lot of family who were like, 'Yay, we actually have somewhere to go this Labor Day Weekend.'

I brought a written letter to NRC tonight officially making September 5th available. My FI and I felt so sad as the place looked so beautiful. We even stood in the middle of the dance floor in the empty ballroom and pretended to have our first dance. The place is so gorgeous!!

I hope that you can reschedule later on and still have your wedding experience there.
