The honorable thing for them to do would be to stand by the prior menu...have you asked? Maybe you could work out a happy medium.
Re: rights. Your legal rights are what is referenced in the agreement.
I'm not an atty but I'd wonder if the old contract is valid at all. Unless there is a right to assign, your contract is with the former ownership entity &, since they are no longer in business, the contract may no longer be valid.
If the company is still the owner/operator, then they sshould honor their prior contract. While the menu isn't cited in detail in the contract, the menu was given to you as a supplement. You could argue that it was implied...unless, of course, there is something in the contract that states they can change the menu & substitute at their option. (again, i'm not an atty so if you're really concerned about the contract, then you should consult w/one).
When I was signing my contract, the catering hall did not include the menu information on the contract & they were shocked that i asked for it. They said the menu hadn't changed in over 2 years and it wasn't going to change....your story only supports the importance of getting it all in writing! I made them reference it as an attachment to the contract.....
If they are a reputable co, it is in their best interest to honor their agreement. Either that, or they should compensate you in some way...like an upgrade or something else along those lines). Please let me know how you make out.
I can't take all the credit - "Weddings for Dummies" & "Bridal Budgets" have been my bibles throughout this whole process. They have great tips! Best $35 I've spent on the wedding so far!
I love the idea of spreading good will but I also like giving my guests something to go home with.
Just curious - how did you make out???
I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE BU I HAVE 2 GREAT PEOPLE MAKE UP IS NIKKI SHE HAS A PLACE IN SYOSSET HER # IS 496-8901 AND FOR HAIR THERE IS JOANNE SHE OUT O THE HOUSE IN WESTBURY SO I DONT WANT TO GIVE OUT HER # BUT IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED JUST E MAIL AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU THEY ARE BOTH REALLY GOOD I'VE USED THEM ALOT AND THEY BOTH JUST DID MY SISTERS WEDDING AND CAME TO THE HOUSE --I KNOW IT WASN'T CHEAP BUT IM NOT SURE OF THE PRICE
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, since I'm doing the flowers myself (silk) ahead of time, and as much as I love Patchogue Floral, I don't want to make too many trips there.
: )
I'm very happy that it all worked out well for you!
Don't be too upset about getting upset. With all that's going on & the emotions related to the event, its really easy for the simplest things to seem like deal breakers. We've all done it before and probably will again! Its the nature of the beast......
