Put down deposit now I'm ghosted

What does your contract state regarding cancelling??

How much was the deposit?

If you lose the deposit it might be worth it especially if things are going as bad as they are.

I would check into wedding insurance. They cover your deposits and such should a vendor go out of business. There are a few companies for insurance. Call and ask about your situation and see if it will be covered

It doesn't specifically cover

that. But in the liability clause it states that unless it is a natural disaster I don't get.my money, what you paid is nonrefundable. However a 30 day notice means I won't have to pay the full amount. I just think these are circumstances you don't usually encounter. The addendum would have have given me coverage but that never happened

May I ask how much the deposit was?

You may, it was 2060

Yikes! I would keep trying to contact them. If no response, id file in small claims. Hopefully that's all you'll have to do, it may scare him and give you your money back and then you can file a dismissal. If not, I say you have a good case. Proof of failed contact and maybe a statement from a vendor might help.

I can get and have records. Is a small claim something I would need a lawyer for?

No you don't, just file the paperwork. You can usually get them online under your county website.

You don't need a lawyer. Can you call your credit card or bank and see if you can dispute the charge to get a charge back?

How does that work?

Also, an awesome idea.

Kelly, are you asking me? If so, I would speak to your branch manager or credit card dispute department and explain the situation, bring proof that he did not let the wedding party into the venue the day of the wedding, proof about the caterer and explained you and the vendor came to a mutual decision that there would be an addendum in the contract and it has been x days and the contract has not been rectified, and you aren't able to get ahold if him and want to charge back the charge. The bank will open an investigation on there end, he may or may not give the refund back on his own terms once he receives notice from the bank.

You call your creditor and tell them you wish to dispute that charge. The creditor has by 90 days to complete investigation. If they find reason they'll credit your account. Has it been within 60 days though? If it has its still worth a try.

Yes! I am asking you. Thank you

Cancel if you can, pursue it through your CC company, and FGS, all of you should be getting wedding insurance. We had three venues and two dress salons go out of biz in August/Sept alone.

Meantime, I'd find another venue. I really hope you get your money back. I hate when things like this happen. So much unnecessary stress put on you.

Ugh I feel everything is too late. I am looking at another venue over the holidays but that money would really help out

U just want someone responsive
