Savvy July 2021

Venue is not working with us!

Verona, on April 29, 2020 at 7:40 AM Posted in Planning 1 4
Help ! Advice ! Anything . So long story short since I did post something similar . We have finally was able to talk to Venus and reached them . They didn’t answer us all last week except once and I send out an email and only then they responded to us. So we told them how we feel and it’s not safe for us and everything. They told us they can move our wedding to Jan or Feb or 2021 and if we want to move into spring months it will be extra expense they said if we move to July next year it would be double of what we paid which is so insane to me . We asked and then they quickly interrupted us and told us to think about it overnight . I got so upset and called my FH and asked him hey maybe we can do March first week at this point and we called back and he said extra expense again and need to talk to his brother and lawyer again mind you we asked him about this extra fee all week when he picked up last week and told us he need to come up with a fee this going to week 2 . Now I can’t afford some crazy fee I’m currently unemployed due to covid . We located in NJ and wedding is 80 day’s pretty much . We feel it’s not safe and my FH is immunocompromised and just feel it won’t be safe at all for everyone . We have paid over 10k and we have worked hard for this day . I’m so upset the owners are not trying to work with us and I always imagined my day in the summer and I’m willing to take May and when I say March even the owner was iffy . I’ve been crying I don’t know what to do ! I wish that was easy for us . My friends who have other venues had no issue with moving their date . I’m just so lost . Help with any advice or experience??? I can’t afford to in February and what if it’s not safe still and it’s cold . They say corona and flu will be bad together in winter and I just don’t know ..........I don’t know why I’m even posting this literally so depressed at this point because this pandemic has not been easy and I have been unemployed too . Well any advice ?

    I'm so so sorry Veronika! I would be a mess if we were to lost $10k. My heart aches for couples like you. Our venue was unwilling to work with us as well. Fortunately we were "only" out $2k when we canceled. But it would've been $10k (like you) if we didn't cancel when we did, bc a payment was due soon. My cousin had a popular Sept. 2020 Saturday date, and recently decided to postpone and was able to get the exact same Saturday date in Sept. 2021 with her venue - with no problem at all. I know venues are losing money too, but there is no reason they shouldn't work with their 2020 brides. Maybe postpone to "their" date, then it will get pushed out to Spring/Summer 2021 anyway. I don't know the answer love, but I sure hope it somehow works out!

    It might be time to talk to a lawyer.

    There's little chance of NJ being open for large events in July, but your venue may not be willing to accept that, yet.

    Also, if it's at all possible to wait a week, take notes from the state websites, and go back to them again? If you remind the venue that they probably won't be *allowed* to do this...

    Good luck.

    I’m so sorry your going through this I feel your pain we’re going to be out some money as well as we have decided to cancel because we can’t afford it anymore after the loss of my fiancé’s job. But I would be so upset as well if I was losing as much money venues need to be sympathetic I get they are losing money but so are the brides whose now dreams are crushed. Keep fighting for yourself as much as you can and if anything get some legal advise because there is no reason they shouldn’t work with you. Keep your head up!💜
