horror story with Shahnawaz Palace

Hi all!

We just had our wedding on May 13th. In our wedding, the caterer (Shahnawaz Palace in Edison, NJ) tried to **blackmail **us 5 days before the wedding.

Here is what happened:

  • Six month before the wedding, we had signed a contract with the owner of Shahnawaz Palace to cater 2 nights of the wedding.
  • FIVE DAYS before our wedding, the manager contacted us and had increased the price by over $1,100 from the contract price. They threatened to cancel the contract if we did not pay the higher amount.
  • My mother-in-law spent the next 3 day scrambling to find a replacement caterer for our wedding.
    Needless to say we will never be visiting Shahnawaz Palace (Address: 159 Jackson Ave, Edison, NJ) ever again!

We are just happy to be married and that the wedding is over.

Take them to court!

Re: horror story with Shahnawaz Palace

What reasoning did they offer for the increase in price?
Did you have a written contract? If yes and if the contract was sealed tight, then when they approached me for the increase, I would have put my foot down and simply had my lawyer make a phone call.
