Ever been "ghosted" by a venue?

My fiance and I had a venue picked and were waiting on final details before signing the contract because we were going back and forth on open bar pricing. Other than that, all was good at the venue. The lady we were working with started off seeming really nice and very cooperative! We gave her what we thought was a fair price for open bar (she left it open ended and asked us to give her a number to work with). She said she would take that number to the caterer and get back to us. She came back days later with a consumption bar offer ending with a cash bar...even though she told us we can do open bar. When we added a few more bucks per person to try and continue with an open bar, she said she would get back to us again....and then we never heard from her again...we have called and emailed several times and no response.....making us have to start over again with the venue search and we also lost our wedding date since no where else offered the date we wanted.....anyone deal with this? Or even a vendor that just sort of ditched out of no where?
