Wedding venue

Do you mean change your date and cancel a contract? Or just change tour date on here?

Have you gone through the contract you signed with your current venue and/or spoken with the coordinator there?


I haven’t experienced this but I can imagine it would be very difficult to quickly find a couple that wants your exact same date and venue. I’d weigh the pros and cons of attempting to do that very carefully as you might be stuck with your booking seeing as your wedding is only 5 months away.

View Quoted Comment As in get rid of the venue and my contract so I can book a better place

View Quoted Comment Read over your contract and see what it says, you may have to pay a partial or full fee.


For example mine had $1000 down, half due 1 year prior and 1/2 due 1 week prior. The payments are non refundable after the 'pay by' date.

View Quoted Comment Yes, I tried but the contract states no refunds etc. The only option that she gave was to

View Quoted Comment Well if it states no refunds then you probably have to eat the cost if you really want the other venue. Possibly you could have additional travel fees if it's further from your current venue.

View Quoted Comment Yes, the only option was if we can find a replacement to take on that date

View Quoted Comment I know but 😩… I’ll keep trying.
I see what you were saying though about the split cost. Ideally, if she can give me back $5k of the $10k , I’ll walk away

View Quoted Comment Because it was only $5k to secure I just overpaid

View Quoted Comment And if she refuses to give you any money back, will you stay there? I don't see why she would give you anything back if your contract states non-refundable.

View Quoted Comment Yes, I would stay

View Quoted Comment I’d recommend staying. It’s not likely you’ll find a couple to take it over. Someone wanting that exact date, place, and willing to pay you back that $5,000 deposit will be extremely hard to find.


It’s similar to when I tried to find someone to take over my lease so I could go move in with my fiancé after I got engaged. No one was willing to move on my exact date, to my complex, submit a formal application to the property, and pay that amount of rent in place of me. It’s so many factors that someone else has to really really want and contractually agree to do.

I'm sure you'll still be able to create a really beautiful wedding there.
