Answer 2

First things first. A law suit is a way for resolving disputes that cannot be otherwise resolved (alot better than a gunfight). You have certainly been damaged. You should first decide how much you have been damaged, including the difference in the price of the halls, and the consequential damages (new invitations, etc.). The banquet hall should reimburse you for all of these costs. IF YOU CANNOT resolve this case informally to your satisfaction, then consider small claims court. The procedures are designed for the average person. The clerk of court should have a booklet on procedures. You can do this yourself, and should leave the proceding feeling as if you have been heard, and that you received a fair hearing --- even if you do not get everything you want.

Answer 3

You can also try a Mason's Lodge, Veteran's Hall, Moose Lodge, Elks, or even your local high school's gymnasium (if it is nice) might rent out to you.... try a local church with a large fellowship hall... you can also try the local civic center to see what their charges are. Hotels have "conference" or banquet facilities and some of them also provide catering, bartending (for a Sweet 15?) in their packages. The decorating you probably want to do yourself just to save some money..... DELEGATE... get people to help you with all the aspects of this debutante ball!!!
