    Is your band in the irish wedding association because then the deposit can be transferred to another band

    Thanks I know, and our new band aren’t part of the assoc.

    If we had picked an off peak day yes we’d have gotten the same vendors again but that still doesn’t give them the right to retain deposits when they can not provide the service on the day due to no fault of the couple.

    A deposit holds the day. There’s no clear guidance as how to proceed if the day can not go ahead as it’s prohibited. They should give us back half but they have it now so they’re not parting with it.

    Very greedy of band to keep deposit, they had done nothing for us to deserve it bar pencil us in.

    Is it the couples fault? No.

    Is it the suppliers fault? Also no.

    It should be the wedding insurers who pay up for loss of deposits due to rescheduling as a result of Covid-19. It's an absolute disgrace that they're not, but why should the suppliers have to take a hit just because the insurers are being dickheads?

    Suppliers are businesses who should have insurance for this kind of thing really.

    True, and I’m not a vendor or insurer, but they tend to insure for ‘known’ risks that they can quantify - and the premiums reflect that. It starts getting difficult if an unknown / unanticipated event is thrown into the mix, ie the insurers never anticipated a global event, so therefore it wasn’t charged for, so therefore they tend not to pay out.
