A friend (no really not me!) has just broken off her engagement just over 4 months in the future. Apart from everything else, the venue are saying she has to pay basically the entire fee - they were doing it relatively cheaply on their own money but it's still £4000. She paid £500 deposit which is obviously gone but apparently it's booked in her name alone.
It sounds pretty mercenary to demand the full fee this far ahead to me, but what should she do? Just tell them where to get off and leave them the deposit? Make a big song and dance? Go and cry in front of the organisation so they feel bad?
I haven't yet seen any contract/paperwork/T&Cs she agreed to but I'd think this is more about negotiation than strict contract wording?
