Can You Get Your Deposit Back?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Weddings are supposed to be happy, but they have a habit of bringing out the worst in people. And sometimes they just don’t happen at all, for various reasons. If it turns out that your wedding is called off, what about all the deposits and money you’ve already put down? Can you get any of it back?<\/p>\n

You Might, Maybe<\/h2>\n

Go over any contract you’ve signed with attention to terms and conditions regarding refunds and cancellation. Look for a "force majeure" clause that could get you out of the contract due to any circumstances beyond your control, such as a major natural disaster. If the date of the event is some time off, you’ll have a better chance of getting a refund. When you are discussing the situation with the vendor, remember to be clear and polite while negotiating a solution. In the event that you can’t get a refund, it’s a good idea to have event insurance as it may help you recoup your losses. A wedding planner can help you out by negotiating on your behalf or aid in navigating the conversation. If it comes down to legal action, you may have to settle things in small claims court. In some cases, you may find that the vendor will give you at least a partial refund if you can find another couple to rebook the date. <\/p>\n
