After booking a venue 5 months ago when i rang them on Monday they decided to tell me they had double booked and would i change my date!! I couldnt as we had booked lots of other things around it, anyway the other couple said they wouldnt change either so this venue was going to squeeze 2 weddings in on the same day! we wouldnt have booked this venue had we known this would be a possibility.
Anyway after the way they had handled it and werent even apologetic we decided we wouldnt have it there any more and would have to start again if necessary, BUT then heres the good news we found a gorgeous new venue thats even beter and had a cancellation on my day so i could keep the registrar appointment etc!! how lucky are we??
so pleased now things are back on track but havent even told other venue coz they cant be bothered to answer the phone! plus they didnt cash my deposit cheque so that will be bouncing if they try!!
sorry its a long story but so so so excited

Glad it's all worked out hun. xxx

make sure you cancel the cheque because you can get into hot water with the bank (charges and stuff) if they do try and cash it and fail.
other than that well done honey thats really good

Check with your registrar as when you change venues your notice of marriage becomes invalid and you have to reapply for it. On the council website for your area there should be info and details on who to contact xxxx

we found the other venue in the same area so we can keep our date and time etc with the registrar but just have to give notice again so should be quite straight forward thankfully
feel like its been a blessing in disguise now as i dont think the first venue would have been up to the job the way they handled this situation!
my new place is soooo much better i cant wait!

that would be my nightmare imagine if u went on ur wedding day and there was another one there (whom u didn't expect!!) fantastic news about the new venue!!! i would tell the original booking that ur not happy about sharing your day, so will have to look else were, and what composation are they going to offer!! (wouldn't tell them u've found somewere else!) good luck hun x

Im very glad things worked out but i think you should tell the first venue i know they did bad but think how happy the other couple will be.

So glad this got sorted out! xx

Did you get offered any compensation? Just wondering how you got on. xXx
