What can I do? Do they have to give my money back?
I got married on saturday and the reception place served a buffet lunch. I had to pay 12.50 per plate. I was happy with everything until I later found out that 12 out of my 35 guests got sick, like throwing up and having diarrhea all night sick. That night (on my honeymoon) I started to get sick. I spent my entire honeymoon on the toilet. It was devastating. I called the place I had my reception at the next day and she said that something must have been going around b/c even she and her family were sick and throwing up too....I was like well are you going to do anything for me, I mean it's pretty embarrassing for me to have to deal with the fact that my guest got sick! She said she'd ask the staff if they got sick b/c they ate the rest of the buffet food left from my wedding reception. Today I called back and talked to them and it was a guy this time. He said no one got sick and that he can assure me it had nothing to do with their food. I advised him that there was stuff floating in the punch! He said thanks for letting me know. I asked him why he wasn't appologetic or anything. He said it's b/c he doesn't see it as being their fault. I told him about my honeymoon being ruined, and he said to reschedule. I was like WOW....how rude! Anyways, I put in a complaint with the health dept. They said they are investigating in and trying to see if they can narrow it down to being the reception food's fault. I know it was b/c my maid of honor's boyfriend didn't eat anything, he only had the punch and he got sick as well. Is there anything else I can do?

You did all the right things...but here's another thought: if it was the punch..."someone" could have easily slipped something into it....the question is, was it a staff person?....or another guest? (thinking they were trying to be 'funny'). Where was the punch located and who all had access to it?
So sorry that happened to you. Somehow, if the employees that were serving had been working there for a time and were good at their jobs, it doesn't seem possible they'd want to jeopardize the quality of service. (Unless it was a disgruntled employee)....otherwise: think about your guest list (the ones that DIDN'T get sick).

Have a friend pose as a reporter, or better yet get a local newspaper, radio or TV station involved.
They're always looking for human interest stories and if the health department hears that the media are involved . . .

Unless someone went to the ER and had tests done for food poisoning, it's probably too late now.

You gotta sue them! Really!
They'll be doing it again next week, close the MTFer's down, no need for that.
