My fiance and I were supposed to get married in 2022, but 6 weeks before the wedding we found out he needed to get open heart surgery. We immediately decided to postpone the wedding to focus on his health, so we reached out to all of our vendors and they were all super accommodating in letting us move our wedding date.
Fast forward, our florist confirmed in writing that they were available for our new wedding date, said they have us scheduled on their side for the new date, and said they would send an updated contract for us to sign. That was back in October 2022. It's now February, and our wedding is in May. I've emailed them 5 times and called them twice - no response. We already put $1k+ deposit down in 2022 for Wedding #1, and did an in-person flower sample, or we'd find another florist without thinking twice.
I don't want to bank on his verbal confirmation that they will show up on our wedding day - especially with the lack of response. However, I don't want to lose the money either (though in the original contract it says we could get half the deposit back at this point, but if they're not responding I don't know how we would get that).
Would love any advice/suggestions.
