I WAS PLANNING MY WEDDING AND HAD PAID FOR MY RECEPTION HALL IN FULL 3.5 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. THEY WERE MAKING SOME INTERIOR CHANGES & THE OWNER ASSURED ME THAT ALL CHANGES WOULD BE COMPLETED BY MY DATE. I WENT BY 1.5 MONTHS LATER & MINIMAL WORK HAD BEEN DONE. AGAIN, HE ASSURED ME THAT ALL THE WORK WOULD BE DONE. MY FIANCE' & I DECIDED THAT WE WOULD WAIT A WHILE LONGER TO MARRY. WHEN I CALLED THE OWNER, HE SAID THAT HE WOULD CHANGE THE DATE, BUT MADE NO MENTION OF REFUNDING ALL OR PART OF MY $$. WE SET ANOTHER DATE & HE ASSURED ME THAT THE CHANGES WOULD STILL BE DONE BY MY ORIGINAL DATE. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. SO I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO GET MY $$ BACK & SAID I COULD ONLY GET 1/2 UNLESS HE COULD BOOK THE DATE, THEN I COULD GET ALL OF IT BACK. I CONTINUOUSLY CALLED WITH NO RESPONSE. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT HE WAS IN A LEGAL BATTLE OVER THE BUSINESS. I FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HIM & HE SAID THAT HE WOULD GET MY $$ TO ME. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HIM SINCE. THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN SOLD. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE?

I am sorry that your wedding was marred by this heartless guy. Sue him and the new owner in small claims or a higher court depending on the amount of the damages.

Thanks for the advice. How should I go by getting a suit started in small claims court?
