What the hell!!!! Thats crazy. Start calling places tomorrow, who knows, you might be able to get a good deal since the date is so close?
I'm with tksjewelry, there might be legal courses of action you could pursue. I know I would!
I agree with @AmuseMeMusically, if you can get some legal advice, I would. Did you pay a deposit already? You may be able to sue them for breach of contract.
Other than that, just start calling other places, and tell them your story. I bet that they would love to have your business, and will help you out.
There's a line in the contract that states the lessor shall have the right to cancel this agreement with one week's notice- so that's on me. The thing they knew the building was being revenatored but promised it would be completed by Oct. 1st- and what's worse- there were two weddings booked prior in the month- I feel bad for them too. It's the auxillary center where I work- I was getting a good rate for being an employee too.
I saw that you are planning a Halloween wedding, is that right? What type of place are you looking for?
@ivorybunny: I would start calling around and being honest with the potential venues about what happened to you. I would hope that being in your situation, that they would be more than willing to help you out. I am sorry this has happened to you, I hope things work out. Keep us updated!
@creativeplannertobee: Originally we thought about have the ceremony at a funeral home and the reception at the house- but finding the ACC building was a great because we rented it for 2 days allowing ample time to decorate. Now it's like starting at ground zero again.
@ivorybunny: That's tough. As long as you can get your money back. Is that in the contract?
I agree with other posters, just start blanket-calling all the venues in your area, and give them your story. Someone is going to be able to help you out.
You may also want to think about non-traditional venues, I have heard of brides having receptions in bowling alleys or, if you know someone with a nice yard you could have an outside tent reception as a backup plan. If you live close to a beach maybe have the ceremony there, just really try to broaden your ideas so you dont miss anything that might work.
I would start calling new venues for sure, just to be safe. BUT I think that this is rediculous. This could be something worth pursuing. Do you have a contract? If so what does it say about cancilation on their part, are going to get yourmoney back to put towards another venue? Im so sorry to hear this. I cant even imagine.
What about a local community hall, or firehouse?
Don't overlook restaurants either.

I woke up today to receive a voicemail that the site where I booked my ceremony/reception will not be able to host the event. It will be under construction. I have 79 days until my wedding- can someone please give me words of wisdom, advice, and a game plan from here? I'm trying not to freak out but it feels as though the world is caving in.
