Refundable deposit for wedding cancelation over a year in advance?

I would just try and ask. They might not and you’ll just have to cut your losses and move on but since it’s quite far in advance there is the possible of them giving you the deposit back.


Good luck!

I would reach out, you could always try to sell it, lot's of people will buy venues, you just have to mention venue take over and cut a deal.

But like Brittany send reach out to them some might be flexible or you may just have to cut your losses, but you will not know until you ask.

Hi!

I cancelled our venue last summer when we decided to down size our wedding. We were supposed to get married in August of 2024 so we cancelled 2 years in advance.

We ended up only getting half of our deposit back after the venue "resold" our date. So technically the venue made an extra grand on our date.

Some vendors and venues does this but not all. You need to reach out to them and ask what is allowed. A lot of people on the my local sell wedding pages, they sell their dates of vendors and then switch over ownership of that date. But like mentioned before, not all vendors allow this.

I find the wedding dresses have the least slack rules in terms of refundable deposits. Just because it is custom made, I don't think you will get any money back. A lot of stores (if not all) do not take returns nor do they give money back.
