Unforeseen Circumstances

Hello and welcome!

We put the deposit down, and our venue told us the date could be changed as long as it was available. If you cancel, there are certain rules. It should all be stated in the contract.

Thanks so much for the info. We haven't been to venues yet and I was just wondering what the general policies were. We are going to be in the process of moving in the next year and I want to make sure I have some flexibility with the date. So that probably means I'll have to wait for the deposits.

I changed my date at mine from this nov to next nov and they were fine with it as long as they had it available and there was nothing in the contract for that. Now if you cancel they will more then likely keep your deposit but again you need to read the contract and ask them before you sign if you think for any reason you may cancel or change.

Thanks so much Michelle. I'm hoping we dont have to change the date once we book it, but as you can see from my date we do have quite some time. Did you discuss that with your venue before the deposit?

No I didnt I just called and asked I was honest and said hey we cant afford to have the wedding that we want in such a short time and the women who owns it is very nice and didnt even think twice. And Im sure they rather have the 10s of thousands however much it will be compare to the 500 lol

My venue deposit can be transferred, if I pick another date within that year OR I can get a refund if they are able to book the place again. I haven't had to change my date but I made sure to ask all those questions before I booked.

Thats something you need to ask your venue. If something were to happen to mine, they would change my date within a year of my original date. If i cancelled, i could get half back until 6 months prior. i booked a year ahead so I had half that time to cancel
