Current location: UK
We are a UK couple getting married in the US [Florida] at end of this month. We received an email last night from the person who owns the reception venue (that we fully paid for 14 months ago, and signed a contract) saying they've double booked for our date due to an admin error. We booked first FYI.
And that because the other couple had their plans disrupted by a hurricane, and it's a much larger wedding than ours, they're going with them. The owner apologised and said they had sourced a replacement venue, which we don't like from the pics.
To say we're fuming and disappointed would be an understatement. With barely any time remaining, we feel like we have to go with this inferior venue. We were also offered a refund, but we'd never get anywhere else on such short notice. Please offer any advice you may have.
