    It took nearly 2 weeks to get my unused corkage fee back which was quite quick as our contract said it could be up to 28 days so I would give them a little longer. Does it say in your contract how long for refunds after the event?

    When I worked the bar at weddings everything went through a till system so I wouldn't worry don't forget they do this on a weekly basis so I'm sure they know what they are doing

    A week I've been waiting. Surely the longer it takes the less accurate it would be? Typically venues will take a stock stake before the event and one after and the difference is your bill. Or, just enter it on the tab on the till. A week is more than enough time, keep in mind this is the damage deposit too!
    Why would it be less accurate the longer it takes?

    I doubt the figure would be in someone's head.

    If you think a week is more than enough time, keep chasing them.
    But if that's what you think, I wonder why you asked the question on here in the first place.

    How much is the damage deposit?
  • £300 damage deposit.

    So, we put £500 behind the bar for soft drinks only. Turned out most people on the day were buying alcohol behind the bar and from what I could tell we never made a dent in the soft drinks tab. I asked to be refunded the reamineder of the tab and our damage installment. This was all agreed and I sent them my bank details. However, it's been a week and I have heard nothing back despite chasing.

    Part of me feels that they never kept tabs on the tab and are stalling. Let's say for example that they come back to me with a figure which seems unrealistic (charging me too much) or say they don't know what to refund, what will be the proper way forward? In the latter situation for example, should they refund me the entire tab?

    :eek: :huh: :doh:

    Blimey, I must have missed the 'I've got married' thread and the 'What happened on your wedding night' thread along with the 'How did you spend your first day as a married couple?' etc etc etc threads....:wink: :wall:

    Btw, did you sort your boiler, replace the bathroom, decide how much to borrow on your credit card...etc...:think:

    You have so many threads OP, I can't keep track of your current movements :(..

    Now you are married (when the wife with her high sex drive isn't being too demanding) please keep us informed..so many posters here willing to help :p :A :whistle:
    If you want somebody you can trust...trust yourself :cool:
