My venue was sold!

Ahhhhhh!!! Oh no! I hope everything works out for you guys!

Does your contract contain a clause regarding change in management and/or ownership?

View Quoted Comment I don't know, but I'll look it up. Good call.

We booked our venue, and were never informed about remodeling of the venue. I’m really disappointed and embarrassed if our guest have to see all the dirt and trucks near the hall area.... now we’re about 2 weeks away getting married. Good luck

Do you have a back up venue or plan B? That sounds scary

View Quoted Comment No, but I think I need to start making one.

Might I add this is what happens when you book a venue on Friday the 13th 🙃

Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Hopefully they will honor their commitments! I'm glad to hear that you bought insurance.

Wow that is so frustrating, sorry to hear, OP. Definitely dig into your contracts. So good that you have insurance. If they won't uphold it, at least you are covered. Good Luck!

View Quoted Comment That was the OP who posted that...

At least you're being positive about it! I would be freaking out!

View Quoted Comment I said that as an obvious joke. I'm trying to see a bit of humor in my situation verses getting caught up in how upsetting it is. No need for shade. I have had a lot of friends and family ask if I'm worried about something bad happening since my wedding is on Friday the 13. I just laugh everyone off, so there is a bit of irony in my situation that I find funny.

View Quoted Comment I had my overwhelmed breakout a month ago and at this point have just given it up to God haha. My dad is our officiant and has offered to pay for the wedding and he told me worst case we just get married I the backyard with immediate family and he looses some money in deposits. At the end of the day, my future husband and I will be married and off to a great honeymoon in the UK. We are more excited about that anyway.

This sucks, but it's just one day that may not go quite as planned. I'm hoping for the best though and going over contracts now.

View Quoted Comment I'm really sorry, I didn't realize it was your post. I'm gonna go sit in forum time out for a little while

Im glad you have a good attitude about it! I hope they still honor your contract

View Quoted Comment Thanks! 😁

Ughh that sucks. That's great that you bought the insurance though. Definitely start looking for a backup, review your contract to see if this type of situation is addressed, and then speak to the venue. I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice but if they won't honor your contract, then the whole thing should become null and void, ideally allowing you to get your deposit back. Good luck!
