    OH and I were clearly told the price for ceremony venue when we viewed it, it was also clearly stated in our contract paperwork that we recieved last week. I emailed the wedding planner to say we had signed it and posted it back only yo have reply saying the price would be an extra 10% in 2013, erm hang on.... they can't raise the cost after we've signed the contract surely?!

    Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)

    Mine have increased to allow for VAT (which I expected), but you would think that unless it is in the small print they shouldn't be able to add an overall price increase?????

    I think they can do this.. when I booked my venue I made sure that they signed a seperate contract to say that what I've been quoted etc is a set price and the price I will have to pay no matter whether there prices go up.

    Read your T&Cs hun, you will probably find somewhere in them that they have the right to increase prices, we asked for a signed copy saying that the prices were fixed. hope you manage to sort it xx

    There is nothing in the terms and conditions to say the price may go up, and we haven't been asked to sign anything to say we agree to any potential price hikes.

    OH went mad when I told him this evening, we habe both looked through the papers again and again and it clearly states twice that price is £750, no-where does it say that there will be an additional charge in two years....argh!

    Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)

    ours gave the 2012 prices with the VAT increase and we were told that it can change either against us or on our favour. We were warned a lot of venues do the same when we brought my dress as I said I wanted to get main things booked to avoid VAT hike.... not happened... everywhere passed on the VAT even if we booked in 2010 arguing that they could because the service wasnt needed until 2012 grrrrr. Venues are notorious for it but phone them up anyways and if really unhappy, you could have a chat with TStandards and see where you stand?

    cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo

    I'm pleased to say that we stood our ground and the venue have agreed they ballsed up, they were meant to send a letter to us saying that they reserved the right to increase the price in two years time, as they didn't they have to hold the current price us, woo! we have it in writing so all is now well, phew :)

    Can't wait until the day I become Mrs. Johnson :)
