It has ALWAYS been the practice of this shop tocharge a deposit for holding wedding dates and the deposit goes to the cost of the flower/rentals.It further has been the policy and practice not to refund wedding deposits.When a deposit is made that date is blocked out. We on ly do two weddings per day. The shopends up turning weddings down because those dates are filled. When a wedding is canceled alarge economic loss is incurred by the flower shop. The $200.00 dollar deposit comes no whereclose to making up the loss.[redacted] states she called and talked with a receptionist concerning canceling the wedding dateand wanted a refund.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I felt this letter was insulting. This entire thing could have been resolved if they would have just called me back in the first place as I was willing to work with them. I feel it was very poor business practice and the fact remains that we don't have anything in writing stating that they keep my deposit if we cancel. Since they don't want to work with me, I would like the deposit back.

DEPOSITS ARENONREFUNDABLEAnd the business is not moving from that
