UPDATE:
Thank you all so much! Didn’t expect to get so many replies in such a sort amount of time. They talked to the venue this morning and they were so apologetic and compassionate. They have given them another contact who has given them a great price and is going to try and work with the old caterer to get servingware etc. I’ll keep you updated on whether they get their money back 🤞🏼
OG POST: My younger brother is getting married this weekend and the caterer called last night to pull out and will “do his best to get their money back to them.”
Not only are they now left out of pocket they have a week to organise catering for 120 people.
The caterers were also supplying all the serving ware and we’re going to do a platter after the ceremony.
Has anyone had an experience like this before and can help them recoup some of their money?
Anyone had to last minute find someone to cater for over 120 people?
The wedding is being held in Clevedon (South East Auckland) if anyone has any contacts they could recommend.
Note - the caterer was from a list recommended by the venue.
