Vendors changing prices!!

They may be allowed to raise prices if you don't have a contract. If it were me I'd probably go with a different vendor all together. Not trustworthy to me.

This would honestly make me nervous. Do you not have some kind of a contract stating the prices? You have almost 8 months until your wedding and I would be worried those prices would continue to change.

I can't go with a different vendor, it's the bar inside of our ceremony and reception venue. It's so frustrating to me! It is my dream venue I love everything about it, except how it is run.

I am getting really nervous, to be honest when I saw the price changed again it almost made me want to cry. We just have a lot going on other then planning the wedding right now so added stress on top of the normal wedding planning stress is too much right now! We have a contract with them, so it should be a simple fix? We signed when it was listed $175 per keg.

Was it in any contract? Or was there anything saying you're locked in price was 175? Lots of vendors get estimates for price increases and then later get actual official increases. Also price difference could be due to a change in distributors

Then I would at least try to stand firm when you go to talk to them. Take the emails with you and tell them to honor those prices. If it's your venue though, and you've already signed a contract then I'd think they would have to honor it.

Okay I will do that, I really hope it all works out! I mean if anything I guess I'll just pay the $250 even though I really don't want to. But it worries me if I say I'll do that they will increase the prices even more over the next 8 months.

Read the contract carefully. If it states the kegs are $175 and there is no wording in there allowing them to change the price then you can fight it.

Our contract says they can change the prices before we pay the 50% deposit but once we pay it they can no longer change the prices (except for market value items). We contracted for a certain minimum though...not prices on individual things.

If there is anything in the contract stating something like "food and beverage prices are subject to change", you may be out of luck and will have to pay the increased price.

I would be so frustrated!

Many venues we toured had fine print at the bottom of all their prices saying something along the lines of "prices subject to change," "prices may increase up to 3%", etc.

I would double check everything you have in writing from them.

I'm sorry that your dream venue is doing this :-( Good luck!
