Wedding reception

Marie_McGrath

My daughter is due to marry in May. Last night she attended the meal choosing event. After choosing the afternoon wedding meal successfully she was informed that the evening food would consist of sausage and bacon sandwiches. She made clear that she hadn't agreed to this when she signed the contract and expected a buffet for the evening reception. It states in the contract light snacks, but nowhere does it state sausage and bacon sandwiches. She has been told she can have a buffet consisting of 3 items. If she wants to upgrade to a buffet she will need to pay an extra £500.
Does anyone have any advice on where she stands with this. Or does she just have to grin and bear it

Light snacks is pretty vague.


But to be fair shouldn't your daughter have sorted this at the time of booking? Food at weddings is one of the most important things and "light snacks" warranted further investigation at the time.


I'm sure there can be a compromise, figure out what you want and put it to them. But if you're not prepared to spend any more money then sausage and bacon sandwiches are at least something guests will eat. The vegetarians will of course starve as no one ever thinks of them.

Did she not ask what the 'light snacks' were?

Why did she expect a buffet? Did she assume 'light snacks' meant a buffet?

Sausage and Bacon sandwiches are hardly what you would call a light snack!

Yummy though! I'd be quite pleased with that!

Too busy trying to ketchup with her emails.

I would have interpreted “light snacks” as crisps and nuts to be honest. Hot food sounds like a bonus to me!

Won't anybody think of the vegans? They will starve.

Along with Jews, Muslims and coeliacs.
