I don't think my venue is going to get a great review from me...
I love the place, and the lady is super nice - in the begining, but the past month - not so much.
First, the table layout paper said 8 people per table. I did my whole seating chart with this, and figure tables of 7 or 6 would still be ok. Number of tables was due with 10 days left, and the excel sheet with who is sitting where is and entree selection was due at 8 days. I sent both since they were done at 10 days. Only to get a phone call from her that night saying it's 10 per table, and she needed it reworked by the next morning... UGH!
Then I asked since we didn't make the 125 minimum, if she could waive the upgrade fee for the filets (she'd still be making $500 for uncooked meals). Nope, the minimum is the minimum and I have to pay both... thanks for cutting me some slack. Not like I didn't invite 200 people!!!!
NOW she emails me with 5 days until my wedding, that they have to move our rehearsal to 1 from 2. A couple booked Friday night right before we did our 60 day review with the venue, and she said 2pm was fine for the rehearsal. Well, now it's not. So I'm madly rushing to email/text everyone to see if people can still making it. Oh and I have to call the Rehearsal dinner place to see if we can move that too! I had to call them anyway with a final count... I need liquor tonight, I don't think wine will be strong enough.

I promise Ptown isn't bad
Well, it depends on where you go, but it's not all bad!!!

I would email her back and tell her that you absolutely can NOT change the time because you've already done it once before and she'll have to figure it out.
this is the last thing you need to deal with. put it back on her.

I ended up walking away from my desk to clear my brain, and she called (should have added that number to my phone). I was really short, otherwise I would have went off on her. Since I still need to deal with her this week, figured this was best.
She said she didn't think an hour matter, and I told her it does when people planned on working until 12, then driving an hour or two to get there (my sister and roommate's husband). I told her I didn't respond to the email yet, as I was still contacting the 20some people to cordinate this change. She apoligized and I hung up (after saying bye).
I agree. and if she doesn't want to hear it, talk to her boss, and then that persons boss.
I would lay it on them thick too. tell them that if they can't get this right, how are you supposed to feel comfortable having them handle your big day. you've been very accomidating until now clearly

She is the boss. She owns the venue and catering service... I think the only card I have is bad reviews on wedding boards. She was AWESOME before this month... I know it's a busy wedding season, but really, how long does it take to set up the ceremony spot for the wedidng?! You still have an hour until people show up!
Two things:
1. Won't the ceremony spot already be sort of set up if you're having your rehearsal there? Or are they doing a completely different set up than you are?
2. It shouldn't matter how long it will take her to set up. She should have figured out a long time ago whether or not this was going to be an issue - not do it the week of your wedding! You have enough to deal with as it is. You don't need this stress.
Ugh, I'm sorry, Mana.
Any word from the pastor yet?
Have them box up your extra meals so you can take them home. Push this! You paid for them
I had some extras and got to enjoy them after the wedding. It was great.
Second thought...it's your day. Tell her to set the table up with 6-8 people because that is what you want. Your guests need room to spread out. She can deal with it.
Channel your inner Bridezilla and get her to work for you
