Attention: COVID brides and attorneys
Quick question in regards to forced COVID-19 rescheduling (Wedding date 05/03/2020), our venue is adamant about a reschedule despite us requesting a full refund due to the current circumstances. At this point the venue that we chose is too big for the type of wedding we are probably going to have due to COVID-19. A lot of family would be traveling and at this point those traveling family members and immune compromised guests will probably not come, so this will significantly cut our guest list making our venue that we originally were going to go with unreasonable. On top of this, the government has mandated no gatherings of 10 or more? Part of the contract states that due to an act of God we can CHOOSE to not reschedule and get a refund... Is this not enough to get a refund when it LITERALLY says exactly what we are requesting?
This is exactly what the contract states below:
"Venue shall not be liable for consequential damages of nature for any reason including but not limited to weather or other acts of God, government authority, malicious damage, etc. Should an act of God or emergency make it impossible for the facilities to accommodate your guests, your event may be rescheduled, however should you choose not to reschedule we will provide a refund."
