Hey everyone. I wanted to gather your opinions and advice on getting deposits refunded. My venue told us unless we cut our guest count to 50 we would have to postpone. My state is now mandating less than 10 anyway. I was hoping to push everything back to fall 2020 and keep all vendors the same. My venue gave away the only date that worked after telling me I was only person left to reschedule and their "top priority." (haven't heard from them in a week and still haven't rescheduled, but thats another story itself.) I was looking at changing venues but didn't know if anyone had luck getting deposits back in this unique situation. I'm struggling with this with my videographer too and if I'm unable to get the deposit back, I likely won't be able to re-book anyone else due to the financial loss. He has limited availability and he always waits until I'm about to re-book to finally respond and say he's now booked.
Just looking for any suggestions from any brides would have been able to get back some of their deposits!! Thank you!
