After having my husbands 40th in the function centre of Melbourne Golf Academy in 2014 which was fantastic I thought I'd have my 40th there in 2016. As it was a themed party I asked for one cocktail to be made. A recipe was given in October 2015. I received a approximate quote of $200.00 for 10 litres in writing and also verbally in Dec 2015. Accepting this quote in writing I ordered, paid and received my invitations and went to pay my deposit. This is when I received a "detailed" quote with the price of cocktails being 8 litres for approximately $450.00. I queried this jump in approximation based on the previous written and verbal quote in Dec 2015 (same recipe) and was told the price could not be altered, MGA would lose money on my function and received this reply: " I would encourage you to try another venue that may be able to help meet your requirements and costs as we cannot honestly host the event without considerable losses to MGA." (Verbatim)
Obviously, I took my party elsewhere. read more
