FYI for anyone using Queens Bridal Center: I just got off the phone w/ Beth in Mineola (she's the mgr) and she said that b/c we booked before the tax hike our contact is not going to be changed to reflect the hike. We've given 2 deposits so far but she said she didn't think that would be why the contract is the same, she said because we booked before the hike it will not change. For anything else, ask an accountant if you're unsure. Mary
