My fiance and I signed the contract to have our wedding at Searls on May 22. The contract called for a $2k deposit, which we paid. We then paid them additional funds over the course of the next few months of $12k for a total of $14k. In February, my fiance called off the wedding. I alerted Searls and asked for my money back minus the deposit, which was all I was required to pay per the contract. I was told that I was forfeiting all $14k of my money because they had to pay the vendors. The contract only called for a $2k deposit with the remainder due on the day of the wedding. I told the finance manager the contract only stated I had to pay the deposit. His response was that the contract did not state he had to give any of my money back at all. Had I not been attempting to pay ahead, I would only be out $2k. I should not be penalized $12k for trying to get ahead, nor should Searls be unjustly enriched by the breakup of my relationship. I am only asking for $10k back. They can keep the additional $2k, which nets them a profit of $4k.
