The past participle does not take an extra ‘-et’ ending; the correct form is ‘bestätigt’.

Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries, reservations are taken seriously. It is common to receive a written confirmation (email or SMS) that includes the date, time, and any special requests. When speaking to strangers or in a professional setting, use the formal ‘Ihre’ instead of ‘Deine’. Also, a quick thank‑you (‘Danke’) or a polite acknowledgment (‘Vielen Dank für die Bestätigung’) is appreciated.
