My wedding venue went bankrupt two weeks before the event. They’re keeping our $8,000 deposit. Do I have any recourse?

Weddings already come with enough pressure. Budgets stretch, plans shift, and timelines feel tight even before problems appear. A venue bankruptcy close to the big day can feel devastating.

This article explains why deposits often disappear during bankruptcies, outlines realistic options for recovering funds, and shows how couples can protect themselves before signing future contracts.
