Wedding cancellation help

[Lacey2019]

Good morning everyone,

I made the brave decision to cancel my wedding a while ago with 3 months to go. I should have been getting married on the 25/8/19.

I am more than aware that it was my decision, a big part of that was me isolating myself from my partner as I had never fully grieved for my dad. The wedding just made me realise how hard I would find it without him.

We had already paid a £4500 venue fee and they are now wanting an additional £4500 cancellation fee taking that to £9000. I know that we are close to the date, but is this reasonable?. Many people I’ve spoken to are quite surprised.

Suppliers have offered to hold deposits for us, however our photographer wants paying in full. We have already paid him £500 and he wants an additional £1600 for the day.

Can anyone offer me any advice or support. It’s is stated in the contracts which we signed. However I have read online that even these are not legally binding.

Kind regards

You've posted about this before and had lots of responses and great advisce on the thread.

If you've heckled the contracts and it's what you've signed for, then you need to pay. If you're unhappy with this, then speak to a solicitor and get some legal advicez

*signed not heckled

You need to cough up and seek legal advice. Sounds to me like you have to pay the photographer if there was a no cancellation policy.

It doesn't matter if your friends think it is unfair. Life is unfair. You are liable for the payments by the sounds of it. Best to get legal advice from a professional and know where you stand.

You are just going around in circles posting the same thing on here.
