My fiance and I are in negotiations with The Hay to have our wedding there in the spring. We are having an awful time working out the details of the contract, many of which seem highly unusual and unreasonable (such as they have two clauses that allow the hotel to change our wedding to a different space in the hotel for any reason!). The Hay is our dream venue but we don’t want to put ourselves at risk. We'd love to hear reviews from couples who've had events there...did you have crazy things like that in your contract? who was the catering person with whom you worked? did everything go as planned? was it everything you hoped it would be? was the food amazing? did they allow you to use the vendors you chose without a problem? did they charge you little extras here and there, or were they reasonable? were they easy to work with?
