I booked my reception and night time at the stadium of light, sunderland well over a year ago now. I have kept in touch with them and had letters in the post. In january i got a letter and a event sheet with all the detail conffimation and prices for the wedding. Only on saturday i got a letter and new wedding broucher to state that as i have not yet paid the outstaning balance yet and the new broucher is now out that i now have to pay the new prices. These prices have gone up by £5 per head day time and £3 per head night time.

I think that's wrong... Get on to them, you normally secure the price when u book... Never heard it like that before? You should look thru your booking info, the small print see what it says x

Have a look at all the paper work you have already got. Hopefully it will say somewhere that prices wont change, but if it doesn't then unfortunately there isnt a lot you can do about it :( xxx

I sent them a email today. i have look at all the letters i got and i cant see anywere that says it can change but i am sure they will find a way around it.
Well don't let them talk u into it, argue it out, I would! That's a lot of money per person even for a small wedding and u budget for the price they give you that's why u ask for a 'confirmation ' in writing... Which you've got, I'm sure they're not allowed to do that!x

i have 87 going to the day and over 180 to the night so it works out at over £800 more. I am not a happy bunny. planning ya wedding should be a happy time now i am stressed. i have 8 weeks till it has to be paid to find the extra money. You just dont have the extra money when planning a wedding.
CommentAuthor*KelBel*
I find it outrageous they've attempted this when it's 3months to ur big day, they should honour the prices they gave u initially... If u ring up, ask to speak to a senior manager and send an email of complaint... I find the more u get yourself known the more you'll get what u want to shut u up lol x

That is ridiculous! Fight them on this, its not right!
CommentAuthorEmzvilla04
I do believe that once you get confirmation they cant change it! unless its in your small print of contract. give citizens advice a call :O)
CommentAuthorJillianL47
That's absolutely awful! I hope they back down and agree you pay the original prices.
CommentAuthorjill81
i was thinking about going to the cab but was not sure if they would advise on this thought it was just debit they advised on. I am getting myself allstressed out about this now i only got 95 days to go.
CommentAuthorGillianE
that is awful, i don't think they can do that and they should really honour the price especially when your wedding is so close. why not give cab a call anyway and put your mind at rest. If they can't help you i am sure they will direct to the right people who can help you. Then once you have done that phone the venue back up and have it out with them.
Do you have wedding insurance?
xx
CommentAuthorLeanneE67
i booked my wedding in january for december 2014, i asked about the prices and she said if we booked and paid the deposit they would honour the 2012 prices so we booked as soon as we could. i would read through your contract and visit CAB for advice like the other ladies have said, hopefully u will only have to pay the original prices, good luck xx
CommentAuthorsarah
What a pain, I'd be tempted to speak with them in person (with copies of all letters & info) rather than dealing with them via email. It's easier to say no over email v you being their in person.
CommentAuthorBobsi
That's really unfair. I'm sure when you book and get confirmation that's the price you pay no matter when the prices change.
Check your contract with them.

CommentAuthorJennyHeather
They should honour the price it was when you booked with them, that is unfair.
Have they given you a sheet with terms and conditions on it might say something in there.
CommentAuthorTori
Have you checked what it says in your contract. They shouldn't be able to increase the prices like that. Even if it does not state in your contract, I would argue that it was an implied term that these were the fees that you were paying and on this basis you signed the contract. I would definitely refuse to pay the extra!
CommentAuthorShazk
That is just wrong surely if you have paid your deposit and ther eis nothing in the paperwork saying that it could change tehn they cant make u!!
Like been said call up speak to highest manager possible, wright email complaint etc and fight it.
CAB maybe able to help they have lots of different advisers for different things call them and ask it worth a try and also do u have insurance?? z
Away with the flutterbys xxx
CommentAuthorxbeckix88
I agree with the others get onto them ASAP!!
Sounds rather cheeky to me! Should be once youve secured your date you get those prices!!!!
CommentAuthorLulu1388
Definitely go and speak to the CAB thats why you ask for confirmation in writing and usually why you pay a deposit... they say its to 'secure' your booking... so in my eyes surely that means secures the information and prices you have discussed. they should know weddings are stressful both emotionally and financially and should not be doing this to you 3 months beforehand. Yes you havent paid final balance, but noone does till 4weeks before when you CONFIRM your final numbers which are set to the original pph back when you first booked. definitely go and speak and seek advice hun. xx

No i don't have wedding insurance. I did think about getting it but never got round to it. is it worth getting some now at this short notice for any other things that could go wrong. I got a email back today from the lady that i have been dealing with at the venue. She told me she will see what se can do and talk to her manager and not for me to worry but ir is easy said then done. If she comes back to say i have to pay the new price i am defo going to the CAB and the local press if i have to. After all it is a big football club and they will not want any bad press. I have read the small print and i cant see anything to say they can just charge me extra just like that.

CommentAuthorLauraJo87
Our venue originally said that prices would be held to such a such a date, we had to negotiate for this years prices. However, they did very clearly state it, and as your venue have not done so, they should honor the original quote xx

the fact you have already paid something off hun should of secured it at the price given at the time basically thats what deposits are for to secure it, I dont think they can do what they are stating just because you still owe money your paying the balance off that was agreed if they refuse to drop it to the original price I would seek legal action maybe speak to a solicitor x

CommentAuthorBobsi
They cant make you pay more if youve already agreed a price. Hope you get the answers you need from the woman you are dealing with. If you don't I'd seek legal action.
Fingers crossed, let us know how it goes. X

CommentAuthorMrsC2bee
If you have agreed a precise, have it in writing and have put a deposit down then they cannot change the price. If she comes back with bad news say to her. No I have looked into it and by law we have a contract and you can not break that contract, if you do so then I will be contacting my solicitor as well as the press. Blag it hun, they don't no what u do or don't no and there just pushing to see what they can get. Stand ur ground at end of day u both tied into a contract and the contract states that price. They have to stick to it x
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
unfortunately if they have price increases they are entitled to pass them on to you .....unless you have it in writing that your price is fixed against increases
the one thing you could do is ask that if you can pay the balance by a certain date they will keep your original price.
they are not doing anything illegal and at the end of the day it is entirely up to them ....
I was finding it hard to grt out of work to go down to see them so i sent another email saying how upset i was with them as there was nothing in the small print of my contract to say they can put the prices up and that i was worried as too where i was going to fing the extra money to pay for it so close to my wedding and how dissapointed i was with the football club and the event managment team have made what should be a very happy time for us planning our wedding they are spoilt for us. The next morning i got a email back from the lady i been dealing with to so dont worry i will talk to my manager. By the end of the day she got back to me to say they will honor the price i was first given. So i am now happy again.
