  I'm sorry your FI is disappointed.  I don't think this is "tell her to jump off of a bridge" vent worthy, though.  Golfing the friday before is something the Pinnacle typically allows, but assuming there really is an outing (which Lisa should have known about but may not have), it does trump a complimentary outing for your WP.  Lisa doesn't have control over the golf course itself so there probably isn't anything you/she can do besides try to see if you can get in for a make-up outing.  I definitely don't think it's worth going off on them about, but I bet if you call and are nice about it they'll be able to figure out something to accommodate you.  I'm having my wedding at the Pinnacle and I've dealt with them a lot.  I have found Lisa to be wonderfully accommodating, although a little overworked usually.  Of the many brides I've now spoken to who have gotten married there (and my photographer who's done quite a few weddings there), none have any real vents with the place.  I've heard consistently that they try to accommodate pretty much anything.  My advice: breathe, wait a bit to settle down, then give Lisa a call and see if you two can brainstorm a solution. Good luck, and don't let this interfere with what will surely be an amazing wedding.

  Do you golf?  It is a big deal.  And she should have told us months ago it was available and we wouldn't be in the prediciment.  I've been engaged for 9 months.  I agre Lisa is very nice and wonderful.  But I'm a detail person and it's her business and her job to make sure the details are taken care of.  I didn't even know until last week we could play at the course as a benefit and was afraid to ask b/c it's a private club.  I think that was something she should have went over in the initial consultation.  So the opportunity to play there was a great gift to for my FI and I and I am very disappointed with the outcome.  And I appreciate the breathing advice - I need to, but I do think there are a lot of vendors that just assume and shouldn't!

  I don't golf; FI golfs.  But, still, it is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.  It sounds like you're really stressed out because it's getting down to the wire and you're really emotional.  Just think about it.  This is a golf game before the wedding.  Yes, it's disappointing, and you can be disappointed, but it's not worth getting all worked up about.  It's not as if your dress just got ruined, or one of your vendors skipped town at the last minute, or FI got deployed to Afghanistan or something like that.  You're getting all worked up over something you didn't know about two weeks ago, that won't (unless you let it) affect your wedding.  I get emotional too.  You want your wedding to be PERFECT.  Things are bound to go awry, though.  Hopefully only little things, but still.  It will be perfect if you focus on your FI and what's important and not let the little things get to you.And you still don't know that all is lost.  Perhaps some accomodation can be made.  Another guys outing sometimes, perhaps? By the way, we did ask, and we had it expressly put into our contract, along with anything else that they typically do but that wasn't explicitely listed (i.e. golf carts for WP and photographer for after pics, approval for what we plan to throw).  Other brides, take note to get any important details in your contract with the vendor.  Tami, your day will be everything you and your FI make it.  Congratulations and good luck!

  I'm sorry you're so upset.....I just wanted to let you know that Lisa told us we could golf, but only if there was not an outing that day.....it is complimentary, so the boys would only get the tee time if there wasn't an outing.... so if you think about it, either way the boys wouldn't have been able to golf....if you knew about this before hand, and someone booked an outing, your guys still would have gotten bumped.....you can't control that someone booked an outing on the day of your wedding....still i'm sorry  you are so upset by this........I hope the rest of your experience there is stress free!

  Are you having a lunch or evening wedding? could they golf the morning of? my fiance is doing that? Just curious. I think it really sucks that she didnt know 9 days before that there was an outing, my FI would probably crap. anyways sorry There are some inexpensive courses around pinnacle if they still wanted to golf. Even if it is "complimentary" if it is in your contract, you could always express how upset you are and see if they will work with you on something...appetizers, who knows. I hate that the wedding industry has you by the balls too. hope you can work something out.
