Suffice to say we have told them we are now looking elsewhere as I doubt we can trust them (if we now choose to alter the date) to actually be ready and prepared for us.

So now it looks like a catered wedding in the local hall will be the way to go. I'm not fussed by fancy weddings and all that jazz, but I was hoping the missus could have had something better than the local hall and a spit roast...

If only we didn't have over 200 people with just family!
Feel for you dude. We went though that, dealing with incompetent morons that fail to grasp how important this day is for you. Just keep looking till you find people that you are happy with. We found them relatively quickly so it was all good but we know of others that had nightmare weddings. Remember that while a hall may seem a bit shoddy, some time on google will show a whole raft of people that had fantastic weddings with a community hall and a BBQ. Your wedding day is after all about you and your about-to-be wife and when you are standing there looking at each other saying your vows, it doesn't matter where it is.

200 with just family huh? Including me and the missus, there was 19 people ours
