I never write on these boards but am upset and hope other LI brides will understand....
I am 2 weeks from mailing invitations and just found out by visiting their website that my Reception Hall (RH) changed their name!!! They have my home and email address, work and cell # as well as my fiances- there is zero excuse for why they failed to notify me!
I called and spoke to a manager and she tried to tell me that it 'just happened'....things dont JUST happen, there was clearly a plan in place to change the name and nobody thought to contact the brides to be - or at least not this bride.
When I complained about the variance of the invites vs. the actual name of the RH she tried to tell me that they will put up signs to 'help' them find their way. Is this a garage sale or a wedding?!?! I am the furthest thing from a bridezilla but the claws are coming out.
I am totally freaking out right now...I think they should have to pay for new invitations and at minimum one free upgrade would make us about square...or at least that is what those close to me are saying. Considering the cash I am about to spend on this wedding I kind of agree. Am I asking for too much here?

Re: My Reception Hall Changed their name...
Thanks for the feedback ladies. I rather not say the venue name on here because someone put it in my head that they may sabatoge the day...ridiculous thought, I know - but if you FM me I will tell you. I would think it is pretty easy to figure out where considering most RH's dont JUST change their name. We didnt want a typical 'wedding factory' and that is why we picked this place. I hope they make this right by me and that there are no more issues with them.

I wouldn't re-do the invitations ... i would probably go to Vistaprint and print out business cards (you can get 250 free usually, just pay shipping) that say 'Please be advised that the reception hall has recently changed their name from ___ to ___. Sorry for the inconvinience'
but yeah, they should def give you a free upgrade of sorts to 'pay' for the stress they're putting you through!
