Wedding venue has increased prices by 30%

Have they told you that they're going to charge you the higher price? It sounds to me (although I could be wrong) that they're saying this is what they'll charge people who book after X date. Given you booked before X date, and you have a quote (and possibly a contract? or at least have the quote in writing?) I'd be presuming that you'd be paying the price you were quoted. (Although I have noticed lines like "Although we will attempt to keep to these prices, market forces may dictate alterations in price" or something like that on venue websites)

Maybe worth talking to Citizen's Advice?

What does your contract say? mine says that my venue reserve the right to raise the price quoted + agreed. I can't imagine they'll suddenly bump the cost up for us as they refurbished a couple of years ago but it was the risk I chose to take after reading the terms and conditions.

If your contract doesn't say they can do this then would definately seek advice from the citizens advice bureau.

It really depends what is in the contract if it says price subject to change etc then sadly your tied to the contract in which case any lose of deposit etc would stand.

I'd give them a call and say that you have noticed that their prices have increased since you booked,but that you are hoping that they will honour the original price quoted as you have already paid a deposit- I'm sure they would rather keep your custom,it would be bad form to increase the prices after a deposit has been paid.

R venue has increased the prices but because we already have it booked we still get that years prices, if they haven't actually told you that your paying that price I would talk to them and see what they.
