I'm not sure who I should feel more sorry for: CRML, or the groom for having to have that EW for a wife.

All I can say is, FOB is a cheapskate if he thought he could hold a wedding reception anywhere without a reservation, especially on a weekend.
Weddings have to be planned. The father of the bride traditionally pays, while the mother and bride plan.
Receptions don't have to be huge affairs. I had mine outdoors, at the GPIL farm. The only downside to that was it was a bit chilly that day, with a threat of rain. But we saved a bundle doing it that way . . . didn't have to rent a place, and just had to pay for the catering.

Of course the wedding party is reserving the banquet room, not just descending on the dining room demanding other diners give up their tables. Also as part of the reception they pay for a special meal to be served to all the guests instead of everybody just ordering what they want off the menu, which would cause havoc for the cooks and waitstaff who aren't expecting such a large party.
So yeah, I agree these people were trying to get off cheap and failed.Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Study hard. Be evil.

I wouldn't have a problem with a nice pub for a wedding reception (especially if there's good live music). It's the fact that they didn't book ahead and assumed that a popular pub would be nearly empty on a Saturday night that was stupid. And the conniption fits blaming others for their own stupidity is the icing on the cake.
I'm sorry you and your manager had to deal with them, CRML. Life would be so much easier if people would think and plan ahead.I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

I've seen a few well-handled receptions, political parties and such at bars and pubs, but people, you have got to reserve the spot beforehand, especially on a day that is bound to be busy! No one is going to care that it's your wedding day, that's not an excuse for being a snot. Learn to plan ahead, because other people aren't going to jump up and give you whatever you want when you snap your fingers, no matter the occasion.

They didn't think they needed to reserve because they were a wedding party. Or the bride didn't. She just thought she was SO SPESHUL, being a BRIDE, that everybody would be glad to accommodate her. Surprise, surprise...Not a good sign for the marriage, is it?When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I bet the Customers at those tables would have been more inclined to move if the FOB had been nice about it and ASKED!"If anyone wants this old box containing the broken bits of my former faith in humanity, I'll take your best offer now.

I take back wheat I said before. I guess when I think of a wedding PARTY, I think of it as a PARTY of a larger group of people. I think I'm more dumbfounded that they just failed to at least plan ahead, and the dumbfounded-ness crossed over into "who goes to a pub for a reception?"
