Hi,
Me and my DP are getting married in between Christmas & New Year2013. Our venue has two function rooms, and before we booked the venue we made sure that they only allow one wedding per day.
Today we have found out that our venue is hosting a 'post Christmas party' with live entertainment on the night of our wedding, in the larger function room, which fits up to 350 people. We are only having about 100 guests and I'm worried that the extra people and noise will dearf our evening do, and that the kitchen will be busy with this extra party. Also, the function rooms share bathrooms, so our guests would have to walk past the party to use the loos, and there is obviously going to be more people waiting to use the facilities.
The venue hasn't notified us of this party at all, we found out by chance whilst looking at their Christmas offers online. The wedding planner even said when we were booking that we had chosen a nice date as the venue would be quite due to it being in between their Christmas and New Year celebrations.
To me it feels like this is worse than having another wedding party on at the same time as there is the potential for the party to be much bigger than an average wedding reception. I don't know how to bring up my dissappointment to the venue. Would it be acceptable to ask for any kind of discount, as we were led to believe that the second function room wouldn't be in use. I have checked the paperwork and can't see anything about exclusivity on our contract!? Any ideas what we should do?
