Food Poisoning from our wedding food - UPDATED on page 3

Yes, Centerpiece, they will be reimbursed for all costs associated with this by the hotels insurance company (if everything goes well). What upsets me is that some had to use PTO or sick time for this. For me, PTO is worth more than money.

I have to say, I kind of agree with you. The cost of the food is less than a third of what we paid the hotel. It definitely a chunk of change, but I think they should have offered more. I still don't feel like the money we spent was "money well spent". I'm so humiliated by this, we worked so hard on this wedding. I dedicated my entire all my time and not to mention our hard earned money.

If I wanted to, I could probably take it further and get more money, but I'm too emotionally exhausted by this already. We will be taking the easy way out.

That's awesome they are willing to work this through! and yay for money back in your pocket, that may be the silver lining since they tried to kill all y'all!

@Pahnia Thanks for making me laugh!

This is why you self cater hahahaha jkjkjk

Just a note about what Cheyenne said. I know that it was a joke, but imagine having no insurance to cover the cost of your guests illnesses. That would be the case at a self-catered wedding.

When we say that people really DO get sick at weddings, we mean it.

I'm casting no shade at OP because she used a hotel. It can happen in the best of circumstances.

Good points @Jacks!

Don't sign anything without consulting an attorney.

This stinks! On the bright (less dark?) side, you did everything you personally could have done to insure that this wouldn't happen. You hired the professionals and let them do their job. As hard it can be to not feel at fault, you truly are not and there isn't anything (logical) that you could have done to prevent this.
