So, long story short. The owner of my venues brother tragically died in an accident couple days ago. I was talking to another lady that worked at the venue who told me that since C (owner of my venue) is dealing with this hard time that she would be my contact person, we'll call her K. So I talked to K yesterday about details for the wedding day, everything was great.
In our contract we get the venue for my rehearsal 4-5:45 on Friday. The wedding is Saturday. After the rehearsal my In laws have booked a dinner at a vineyard at 6.
Well I just got a call from C, the owner of the venue, asking me if I could move my rehearsal times on Friday. She put me in a SUPER awkward position. She was wanting to use the venue for her brothers wake after the funeral for her family and asked if I could move my rehearsal back!
Theres no way this can work out. We already have the vineyard booked for dinner. Then what are we supposed to do about a rehearsal!?? Just have it at 8 at night? I think thats crazy! We have a ton of people who had to ask off early from work to be able to make the rehearsal at 4.
Now dont get me wrong. I am deeply saddened and sorry for her loss. But for her to call her customer who is paying her THOUSANDS of dollars for this venue, and then she calls me 3 days before when I've had this venue booked for over a year, and is asking me to change my times. I'm just at a loss. This is the last thing I want to deal with 4 days before my wedding. And again, I feel so bad for being like this but I feel like the position she just put me in was very uncalled for. So I called K and tried figuring out what to do. She said that we can just keep our times the same. Theres just no way at the last minute we can change times and try to figure all these details out again. What would you girls have done? Do you think I'm a total biotch for not moving my rehearsal time back??
