Hello Everyone,
I am having a MAJOR dilemma and I am not sure how to handle it at all.
(TL,DR: The owner of the venue we booked misinformed us on aspects of what would be included and is getting very difficult to work with. She is causing stress to me and my fiance, but our other venue options are limited/nonexistent. At what point do we pull the plug?)
My fiance and I booked a venue and put a deposit down (non-refundable) in mid-July for our late May 2020 wedding. It's a cute farm and we loved the look. Before signing, we were promised by the owner numerous things and, yes I know always get every single thing on the contract, however, these were things that she either made out to seem better than they were or she told us were set-in-stone plans. Now, a month later, we find out that a big piece will likely not happen and she refuses to put it on the contract because in her eyes, "if it gets done, it gets done." Also, she told us that she would pay to rent "the nice portable restrooms" because bathrooms are limited. I found out today that she will be getting, in her words, "the ugly ones that construction workers use." Which I find extremely offputting (porta-potties at a wedding!?) and upsetting because the contract only says "portable restrooms." I am getting fed up and VERY stressed about whether or not we should continue to try to work with her due to these and a few other smaller issues. Our next payment is right around the corner, but I have exhausted the options for venues near (and semi-near) me and we don't really have other options. I'm just super worried that there will be more issues down the road and the wedding will end up being a mess and a huge waste of our money.
