@Max:
Found out that the Location where we want to hold our wedding booked the same day twice. We had a final Reservation since April and now they tell us that they gave the date to someone else. Trying to fix it right now, but we're pretty devestated right now.
Max, do go to a lawyer! I'm serious. The cost will have to be born by the other side, and this way you can be sure that nothing will be overlooked, and no tricks can be (mis)used to duck out. Don't just pick any lawyer from the yellow pages, ask around for a recommendation. You will want a person with a really good track record in contract law and "Leistungsstörungen".
Alone the fact that the next correspondence in this matter comes with the letterhead of an attorney will not fail to make an impression.
Wish you good luck. -
Thanks to all of you, will take that into consideration
-
basics of contract. offer and acceptance. they've made you the offer, you accepted. but they've failed to uphold their part of the contract. that is a breach. i'm not sure what law germany follows, but that's common law for ya. hope everything goes well.

Hope it all gets sorted!

While it could be a matter for lawyers and court: you don't really want to force someone to hold your wedding party by law, also we don't have the money nor time to do it.
Anyway, I rattled their cages and we might end up with a good solution: we can have the day before our original date, get 30% discount (which is a lot) and they will also get us a new photographer that is on par (or better) with the one we choose (but would be way more expensive, they pay the difference). We'll have to think about it, it changes the game as it's a friday but not saturday but the deal is pretty good IMO and saves us the hassle of finding a new location - which we tried yesterday but without success.
No I hope we can fix it all before the holidays.
Thanks for the support guys.

Or for extra Whisky…
Anyway, if we can sort it out like that I'm super happy. I thought I'd spent my Christmas Holiday begging Locations to give us their space on probably one of the most sought after saturdays of the year. -
Third fourteen hour day on the trot and The client I am having to spend today with is one of the thickest c*nts I have ever met.
The desire to smash my face repeatedly through my keyboard is at an all time high.

Having a bit of experience in wedding venue hunting I think you can continue to give them hell. In all reality the 30% 'discount' they gave you probably isn't much of a legitimate discount as Friday's/Sunday's are typically much cheaper to host a wedding than Saturday's because of high demand. If you happen to have any correspondence from them prior to you guys solidifying the Saturday date you might check and see if they gave you a Friday quote.
Really sorry you guys have to deal with that. Weddings are stressful enough as it is.

I have an irrational hatred for Christmas jumpers!!
And for all those middle-aged, office dickheads who wear them in public: "YOU LOOK PHUKIN' STUPID!" Stop it.And whilst I'm on the rant bus.
And can you all phuck off somewhere else to hold your office party, other than my local pub. For three weeks on the run up to Xmas, I can't get near the bar due to throngs of loud, badly dressed, drunken office punters trying to get into the knickers of their young female colleagues. You're pathetic! No-one wants to shag a fat, balding, hairy nostriled, halitosis ridden bore. Stop it.
-
Now that's a great rant
-
Yes indeed it is. Can't get the grin out of my face for a while. Incidentally, we're having our office party tonight…
@No.88: two small assurances. I guarantee it's not at your pub, and I promise I won't try to get into anyone's knickers….
(not that I feel wholly described by your outline of the kind of guy who would... :-[). -
Fucking hell Chronopost's a bitch to deal with… Trying to help my boss with receiving a package...
Consignment not delivered: customer absent (But they didn't leave any message/ slip... Plus my boss has a camera system that sends him a mail with a picture of anyone that has approached his house... No one stopped by that day!..)
Scan location : Bruxelles - BE
Comment : Contact with sender or consignee in progress (Good luck finding a working phone number of any kind for the depot in Brussels, where it's currently at...)So I called their French customer service line... No option for English (they're French after all)... Not a 100% sure I'd be able to figure it out myself, this is too specific, my French is crap...
Sent them a message through their FB page... Fingers crossed
-
Btw: the people from Chronopost in France did NOT have a phonenumber for the depot in Brussels!!! How fucking crazy is that?.. "Yeah we dropped your package off there, and you need to contact them for a second delivery, but neither you nor we have an actual way of fucking contacting them"… BLOODY HELL...
