YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! UPDATE ON NEW VENUE!!!

Original post by billandme

4 months......yup, that's right.......4 MONTHS until our wedding and our reception hall calls and cancels on us becuase they HAVE to hold a horse race that day!!!!!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our reception was being held at one of the main horse park Clubhouses. It was beautiful!!!! Obviously we LOVED it enough to book after looking for 5 months and getting screwed around by another place.

So I'm at work today and the Banquet Manager phones me and tells me they have to cancel our contract for the Clubhouse because the owners want to hold a race that day!!!!! Apparently they can do whatever they want since it's thier place and if they want it for another event, then they can!!!! Oh but it gets better........they are offering to let us have the reception in one of the nice BARNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My FH has no clue yet! He's at the gym right now, but let me tell you.....he won't be a happy camper!!!!! I am soooooooo beyond pissed right now!!!!!!

They said they were going to phone me on Friday to find out if we want to have barn or not.......hmmmmmm, let me think for a second about this..........ummmmmmmmm F - YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't belive this!!!! Before we booked this place, we phoned EVERY hotel and they are all booked!!!! I am so devastated right now!!!!!!!!

=========================================
UPDATE!!!!!!!!


Ok, so my FH and I veiwed another location today and we LOVE it. And you know what?????? It's WAY better than that DAM horsepark venue!!!!! It's such a beautiful ballroom with a seperate cocktail room which overlooks a water fall in a park in the center of downtown! We are SOOOOOO in love with it!!!!

We have a meeting with the Venue tomorrow afternoon to book the room. It's more money than the first venue, BUT it's worth it. We told the other venue that we are taking the menu AND price that they quoted us to the new venue to see what they will charge for the EXACT thing.

The old venue KNOWS we will be expecting them to cover the difference. We spoke with them yesturday for about an hour. They called around to other venues to see if our date was open too and they couldn't find anything that was comparable for the price they had. So they KNOW they are screwed with this one. IF they cause us ANY problem at all, then FH and will foot the bill for now and once our wedding is over, we'll take them to court for the damages they had caused us.

Although it ***** that we had to go through this, we are so happy this happened to us!!!! We truly are! The new place is so much nicer and more convenient for our guests becuase it's downtown!!!! YAY!!!!! I'm posting some pictures of what the room and cocktail area looks like!!!

Thank you AGAIN for everything!!!! You are all so amazing......If it wasn't for you girls, we wouldn't have known where to start or what to do. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Here's a picture of the ballroom. VERY dark but you get the idea



These are pictures of the Cocktail area right outside the Ballroom

This happened to me as well...except the place I was supposed to have my reception at went up for sale! I had to find a new place within the same time period and was having serious panic attacks...but it all worked out in the end and I will be having my reception at a much nicer place! I think everything happens for a reason and you wont be disappointed!

Good Luck!!!!!

I'm so glad it all worked out! The place looks great! And it seems like the old venue knows they're going to have to be very generous in compensating you. Good luck!

I'm so glad everything worked out for you! Me included- all the brides who have had thier RH cancelled or switched were so much happier with the second place. Screw the Horse club!

Talk about a wedding nightmare! That sure is if you ask me. I think it is absurd that they didi this to you.
You know what though-there loss/your gain.
You are both very happy with the new venue and that s all that matters.
I wish you both the best of luck!
