Girls, I need some advice.
We've found the venue we want to go with and we've read through the terms and conditions.
When we went got a viewing they said they would pencil us in for our requested date.
I asked about once we've paid the deposit if we have a time limit to send the terms and conditions back (signed and dated) and I got told "Your date does not become official until we receive a signed copy of the T&Cs".
The terms and conditions stated "until we receive the deposit your booking is deemed and provision and we reserve the right to sell the date".
Does this mean that (for example) we pay the deposit tomorrow and don't drop the signed and dated terms and conditions off until Monday, if someone else pays their deposit and chooses our date and hands in the terms and conditions sooner than we do, we've lost our date?
I'd rather hand everything over in person and we've been told we can do so next Monday but I'm so worried we might pay the deposit and then be told we don't have our date due to someone else doing it quicker.
We've been told we can send the terms and conditions signed and dated but just wondered if anyone can advise?
Would it be quicker to post first class if it meant we paid the deposit tomorrow and posted tomorrow so it would (if it could) get there before Friday?
Sorry if I sound stupid 😬
