Huge congratulations to Emma & Paul who got married in Corr's Corner Hotel on Saturday.

The planning of this wedding was a long journey due to Covid restrictions and dates having to be changed 3 times but they got there in the end. Having struck up a great friendship with Emma & Paul it's had its shares of laughs along the way exactly as it should be.

I wish you both a life full of love and happiness together💕

Covid-19 Wedding Cancellations - Your rights

There have been many discussions with couples and problems arising when it comes to refunds or moving dates with some venues or suppliers. It's always worth knowing where you stand legally and what you can do if your faced with a situation where maybe your venue/suppliers are not being fair during the Covid-19 pandemic.

What are your rights?

The UK government have in place what is called the Competitions & Markets Authority (CMA), their job is quite simple, to regulate how companies operate and ensure fairness to consumers.

1. A supplier or Venue CANNOT keep payments for a service that has not been delivered. When you are told you must settle the full fee because you are canceling they are in fact in breach of this.

2. You are NOT bound by any agreement/contract you have already signed if it is deemed unfair. Don't accept the whole you signed the contract you agreed to the terms and you must pay. Again this is against CMA rules and you cannot be held to this.

3. It does not matter which party cancels. I've heard couples say if they cancel they cannot get a refund. This is false, if you cancel or the venue cancels your still entitled to a refund.

4: You may not get a FULL refund. When any booking is placed, time and effort are put into that and of course, time is not free. Any materials or supplies again are an expense to venue/suppliers. These are classed as recoverable costs and rightly compensated if you terminate or cancel the contract. Anything on top of this should be returned to you regardless of what the booking fee or deposit has been stated. No entitlement to keep anything more than the costs incurred and your not liable for a service uindelivered.

5: They say the fee covers missed bookings? Nonsense! Missed bookings is not a recoverable cost. The old sad story of "oh we could have taken an alternative booking so the full fee is owed" Let's highlight again only UNRECOVERABLE costs can be withheld.

6: We can offer you a voucher, re-booking, credit, bag of Tayto Cheese & Onion. Venues/suppliers may offer you the above instead of parting with your money but do not feel pressured into accepting this. If you want your hard-earned cash back you are legally entitled apart from uncoverable costs.

Anybody needing a copy of the CMA guidelines or the document that all venues would have received and should be aware of give me a shout and I'll link it to you.

You may also report any supplier not acting fairly in response to Covid-19 via the CMA portal. (Expect a long wait)

**UPDATE**

By now most couples would have received a call from their Venue regarding their wedding date if it is possible to go ahead or postpone until a later date due to current restrictions.

These calls are being made in a particular order May/June some July. If you are still not sure get in touch with your venue to check in what's happening July onwards as it seems to vary amongst venues and the uncertainty due to the current situation . With regards to restrictions and lock down there is no exact date yet as to when this will be lifted so keep this in mind.

The end of the year is starting to fill up with weddings being postponed and moved accordingly. I have been asked about 2021 and I would like to make it clear no extra costs will be incurred by those who have already booked regardless of annual increases.

Stay safe😷
