We planned a corporate dinner and signed a contract. The headcount started falling and we communicated with the restaurant planner that we would drink more expensive wine to make sure we reached out $3,000 minimum. She agreed. But lo and behold during the dinner we learned that we would be charged for the dinners based on the confirmed headcount, not based on how many dinners we ordered. This was NOWHERE on the contract nor was it communicated via emails during the planning phase. If you think it's a cool place to have a corporate function, think again. And they really skimped on the salad, which they served on bread plates. It's salad - it's cheap. Why skimp?
