Venue not understanding

So we postponed our May 24, 2020 wedding to Aug 7, 2020 thinking things would be a lot better. However, we’ve invited 150 guest and only have gotten 33 RSVPs back. Several of our guest are out of state and have told us they aren’t going to be comfortable yet traveling yet. Including my FH father who just beat cancer last month. We told the venue we’d like to postpone to next summer bc there is no way my fh and me too want to get married without his dad being there. They told us we cannot postpone and now I’m completely overwhelmed. Idk what we are going to do. With everything going on in this country right now the one good thing i could look forward to is our wedding and now I am not sure what we are going to do. Have any other brides had issues with their venue not being flexible and honestly a little insensitive for not considering my fh father’s health?

    Your contract said nothing about postponing? What about if you cancelled completely? Is there such a thing in your contract that says if you cancel x amount of says before you’ll get a % of your deposit or funds back?

    I would look at the contract really specifically for any clauses about Acts of God, postponements, and cancellations. I would then try to go as far up the ladder as you can and ask again if they'll be flexible with you. If not, I'd consider going to a news station before cutting my losses and losing that much money. I understand lots of business are struggling right now, but not considering his father's health is very insensitive and won't bode well in the news.

    I would go this route too.

    Our venue said the same thing, but thankfully all our parents are in. I would see what your contract says about a full cancellation. I know you probably have other vendors too, so talk to them and see what they say about moving it. Then see how you look financially.

    First off I’m sorry that you’re going through this! Secondly, you may still be OK. Not much is changing as far as restrictions call and your venue may not even be able to still have your in August. I think possibly with all the protest they been going on we may see the numbers start to spike again giving us another round two. Again none of that is a good thing, but as far as her situation goes they may be forced to have you postpone it till next year. wedding planning and even wedding wire has been a nice escape from all of the craziness going on in the world. It sucks when the 2 start to collide. I love coming here and just talking about wedding stuff and just focusing instead of hearing everything about politics or protest or riots or Covid or people being sick.

    Wow I really should’ve proofread that first.

    Honestly, 150 in August in most places is probably not going to be possible. I would certainly check your contract and call up the ladder... but I don't foresee a lot of places being able to accommodate 150 people in August.
