X wedding & restaurant place

Tim says:

I’ve written other Sign Language columns about signs that mismatch two things, such as a type of shop and something served in a restaurant (“restaurant and coffee”). In this case, not only are the two expressions an event (“wedding”) and a type of shop (“restaurant”), but… what is a “restaurant place”? A restaurant is a place already; it doesn’t need “place” after it.

The way to fix this sign is easy: just switch “wedding” and “restaurant”:

O Wedding place and restaurant

It’s a place where weddings are held, so “wedding place” is natural.
