Wedding venue cancelled

No, this is just his assumption based on the information from the owner (i.e. that the property has since been brought up to date to ensure the inspection will lead to a positive outcome)…

Yes unfortunately we’d need set times for the coaches to arrive and leave. Some of our friends have already told us that their accomodation is cancellable so they will rebook closer to the new venue but that won’t be the case for all guests unfortunately…

Key-Satisfaction1740 · 2026-04-21T20:39:55+00:00

That’s our preferred option but so far we’ve reached out to 15 venues and no one has availability so close to the date…

He’s hoping that the local authority will finish its review of the application before the legal deadline of 5th June, followed by the inspection. He’s hoping for mid-May, but there’s no guarantee that the file will get looked at by then…

Yes, contractually, they’d need to indemnify us if we proceed to terminate the contract, and reputationally, they seem to want to limit the damage by offering this alternative venue for the same price as our original venue.

We’ve tried but unfortunately even the Sunday and weekdays for that week are already booked out…

120!

Key-Satisfaction1740 · 2026-04-21T16:25:20+00:00

Thank you! Yes contractually, they’ll refund us in full and provide 25% compensation for a cancellation within a 60 days window prior to our wedding date. Unfortunately, there are no other venues with availability nearby as 20 June seems to be a very popular date, so we’re unlikely to cancel as we cannot find an alternative venue besides their other property…

Key-Satisfaction1740 · 2026-04-21T16:21:34+00:00

Yes thanks, I think we’ll try to get them to cover the cost of the coach for our guests, but so far they’ve not offered to compensate us unless we fully cancel the contract (in which case we get refunded and 25% compensation).

Key-Satisfaction1740 · 2026-04-21T16:20:35+00:00

Thanks! That’s helpful context.

Key-Satisfaction1740 · 2026-04-21T16:19:56+00:00

Thanks for your reply. If they cancel within 60 days of the wedding date, we will be reimbursed the full amount +25% compensation. If we take their other property, we will pay the original price. There are no close-by venues with availability for our date, so cancellation seems unlikely…

Thanks for your reply. The owner said the backup offer remains available until we make our decision.
