Ok so bare with me.....we are supposed to get married 10/3 (this is after we already cancelled our tropical destination wedding due to covid in june) we are in florida. We have about 100ish guests. Our entire wedding party, 90% of our guests and all my FH immediate family are in Massachusetts which now enforced a strict travel quarantine. It makes it impossible for anyone to come here without having to quaratine for 14 days or having to test which then is a mess if someone tests postive. It would put TONS of them out of work. We've polled our crew and literally have a handful of people. Our venue is just simply stating there are "no restrictions here" they are now saying if we want to postpone we have to pay an additional **** for the new date AND vendor charges ranging from $600-1k (some of the vendors were included in my package)
I find this HORRIFIC. It's a global pandemic!!! This is price gouging they are asking for nearly 50% of what my total cost was to move my date to a day they already have available......I'm not saying I'm not ok with paying a upcharge for the 2021 rate (which mind you is $500 difference) or even 10% but upwards of $4500?!?!?! My contract states I cant get any money back I've paid, now I'll need to either walk away 7k in the hole or pay more money to a business that clearly has no integrity or ethical business practices😡. Most people I've reached out to locally have said they had no issues moving dates with their venues or paid slight changes.....am I being crazy here because everyone I ask says I should be reporting them to the BBB and looking into legal options (which I will do if necessary) but I literally have NO DECENT options here.......anyone in a similar situation with advice on how to not have a nervous breakdown and deal with this because I've done nothing but cry for days now trying to figure out how to proceed.......
