This couple paid with check for their booking fee. If they want to pay w/credit card fine, if not, fine also. I don't require it. I would lose business that way.
 
Here I get that all the time but.....

I also stipulate that if I make the decision on a part then its my final say
you have already left this up to me and you cant say or take me to court if anything is done, or not the way you want it done!

this way I am also protected because too many out there are a lazy bride and when they can take you to court, that you ruined thier wedding they will....

so if you do not protect yourself and get taken to the cleaners then it aint my concern.
 
Well, no return call yesterday. I will call again today at lunch time.
 
I would call her again today for the last time. If you don't hear from her or have the deposit by Saturday, Sunday, make the call, letting her know the date is now back open as stated in the terms of the contract. I am sure you will either get a call then or not hear back from here because she has booked someone else (another possibility)

This is not a deposit, it is final payment for a May 22nd wedding. She did call yesterday so she is out there.
 
yeah but how is it worded in your contract?

In mine, if final payment is not recieved by due date, then the date is opened back up.
 
1. A $200 non-refundable booking fee is due with the returned signed contract. The fee is deducted from the set fee for the event. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the event (see due date on page 1). If payment is not received by due date, we reserve the right to request cash, cashiers check, money order or credit card as payment for balance. If payment is not received, we reserve the right to not perform and balance in full will still be due.

So yes, I could open it up but it would take a act of God to rebook with less than 2 weeks to go.

If payment is not received, I would most likely make them pay cash or cashiers check. Because the wedding is still on. According to her call and talking to the venue. But if she doesn't pay before the day, I don't set up without payment.
 
Got to actually speak to her today. Our meeting is set up for Monday afternoon. She is bringing payment then.

I am definitely going to confirm Sunday with a Phone call and maybe Monday if I only get voicemail on Sunday.
 
I have this EXTRA bit in my Contract
PAYMENT: In default of non-payment the Client agrees to pay all costs incurred in the recovery, Plus interest at the rate of FOURTEEN (14%) percent flat per fortnight or part there-of in Book Keeping Fees and Legal Costs....
As stated from my lawyer that originally went to take me to court I knew the guy from school and he set me on the right path (even did his wedding as a freebie for him doing my forms)

So you may want to think on that!
 
I finally got a call (and final payment) from my May 15 wedding.
I am meeting with them Monday at the venue...
to go over the paperwork and talk about the venue.

I thought they were just laid back
turns out the b/g are from another state, and the MOB has been doing most of the work. the bride hasn't even seen the venue yet!

sometimes there's a good reason things don't happen when we'd like them to happen
 
This couple live in the same town of 3000 people. So I guess at last resort, I could have knocked on their door. lol
