Catering pulled out!!

As this has just happened I would allow them some time to confirm what the new service will be, but bear in mind, you have a contract to include certain items and services, and if they cannot provide this the contract is legally frustrated and realistically you should not have to pay more to achieve the same result. The venue should have insurance to cover them for such instances and if sourcing replacement services comes at additional cost for current bookings they can claim this loss on their insurance, they should not be passing the cost on to you. I would tell them they have 45 days to provide you with the new offering and that you are not prepared to cover any additional costs unless the services are enhanced. similarly, if they can no longer provide what was agreed you need to negotiate a cost reduction for the reduced service. Try not to stress too much, you do have time and you need to give them an opportunity to provide an alternative. Stand your ground, wishing you all the luck in getting it sorted
