Vendors not giving full refund back

Hi my fellow Covid brides of 2020,


This year has been tough and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. We postponed our April 25, 2020 wedding back in March to October 3, 2020. Everything was going fine until my original venue cancelled events for 2020 about 3 weeks ago. Well, we were able to find a new venue in a different state but now I’m having trouble getting my deposit back from one of our vendors. I get that everyone is suffering and surely the wedding industry is taking a big hit. However, I do think it’s totally wrong to not give a full refund back to couples who had no control over their wedding day and this pandemic. We didn’t want to wait, we have already been together 7 years and wanted to get on with our lives. We already postponed it once, so we didn’t want to do it again. Is anyone else experiencing this, vendors not giving their money back? It’s totally wrong!! If so, how are you dealing with it? Thank you!!
