from the place of a hostess of weekend getaways i speak from experience. i have to rent the guesthouse as a whole and do the food catering. the accomodation only accomodates 22 people. you get 30 ppl booking on the party tab but when it comes to payment then you get radio silence. it takes the space of other ppl who really do want to join. its alot of time, effort and money gets put into hosting events and the responses from some are a let down. i am blessed tho to have met some truely amazing couples and singles from this site. the non bullsh@#er types. 

just wish that ppl were a tad more honest about their intentions to join an event
