Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
caterer
my grandaughter got a verbal agreement from a golf course/reception hall manager for a price of $20 per person. Now he says the price is $35 per person and the wedding invitations have already gone out

Re: caterer
Find another venue/caterer, and get the agreement in writing like grown-ups do. Then write to each of your guests, using blue or blue-black ink on white writing paper of course, and advise them of the change. Remember, the price of stamps has gone up. At least you didn't make a "verbal agreement" for the photographer -- did you?
Re: caterer
Your granddaughter can do any of the following:
1. Pay the new price, since she never got the old price in writing;
2. Move the location to a new location and get it in writing this time;
3. Sue the golf course and then see what kind of service she gets at the wedding.
The moral of the story: get it in writing.
