Venue issue

Erin, on November 27, 2019 at 8:30 AM Posted in Planning 0 4
So back in mid October, my fiancé and I put our deposit down on our venue. We gave them a check because they dont accept card. It’s been 6 and a half weeks and it had yet to be cashed. I emailed the venue a few times throughout these 6 weeks to find out what is going on. They have now told me that they lost the check and we need to send a new one. I researched like crazy on this venue and could not find a bad review, they have been open for a long time doing weddings. Should I just chalk this up as a weird accident or should i be nervous more mistakes are going to be made? 😬

    Personally, I would look at this as just an accident, especially if they don't have any bad reviews. However, the thing that would concern me is that they didn't contact you when they realized the check was missing and instead waited for you to contact them. What if you hadn't noticed it wasn't cashed yet and didn't contact them? Would they not have held your date only for you to find out later on? That's the only thing that would bother me, misplacing a check does happen sometimes.

    I agree with the PP. I would actually ask them why they didn't reach out to you when they realized they didnt know where your check was. I would see if I could hand deliver it at this point and make sure to get a receipt immediately.

    also if it happens a second time, i'd be looking somewhere else

    I actually did hand deliver it the first time. They even took a photo copy of it and attached it to our contract. So I’m definitely going to hand deliver it again and have a talk with them. So annoying lol

    I would bring up with them why they didn't notify you immediately and then request that they cover any fees charged for you to issue a stop payment on that check.
