       this situation has turned into pure harassment .   From social media to **** and the DAs office.   All of which have agreed that ***************** was aware from the contract given to her that there are no refunds.

      We have text messages and emails to prove that she was in agreement with the contract until her daughter called off the wedding.   We held the date and gave up other opportunities for that date.  We have time and labor already invested in this event.   

      We were not legally obligated to , but always offer a credit for the full amount of contract that can be used at a later date.

       Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: THERE WAS NO CONTRACT! Besides, I was the bride, not the daughter. Get your facts straight.
