MemberI 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.
MemberWhat 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?

MemberI’m with tksjewelry, there might be legal courses of action you could pursue. I know I would!

MemberI 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.
MemberThere’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.
MemberI saw that you are planning a Halloween wedding, is that right? What type of place are you looking for?
Member@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!
Member@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.
Member@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.
MemberYou 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.
MemberI 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.
MemberWhat about a local community hall, or firehouse?
Don’t overlook restaurants either.
