They stole our wedding!

First of all, I've had a few glasses of wine, so if I've missed this point being discussed already, I apologize sincerely.

Anyway, attention to the bolded:

We mentioned how much we loved the space and how we were considering having our wedding there, the owner overheard us and us being long time regulars he instantly pulled up a chair and started discussing options with us

and then... after he "pulled up a chair", he was upset that your friends approached him about the pricing he discussed with you? In public, and presumably in their presence? No offense, but for him to imply that this was in ANY WAY your indiscretion is unreasonable. If it happened exactly as you describe, HE was the one being irresponsible with his business, NOT you, and frankly I would find it offensive for him to try and offload that burden onto you.
