Dear Kim,
I totally hear what you are saying: to be honest I agree with you
We did not organize this and I must say I think the whole event proves too big for them
I thought we would only host an VIP event from 6-8pm, was not aware it was open to the public afterwards
If you like to pull out, really not a problem for us
I prefer to work with you when we put our back behind this
Alternatively, we could limit the wine from 6-8pm? For the VIPs and then close the wine bar
Rest assured that the choice is yours: it is too late to communicate in any case
