An El Paso woman says she put down a deposit to reserve a place for her wedding reception, but the trouble started when she had a change of heart.
Sandra Kidd and her girlfriend Jessica have been planning their wedding for more than a year, a wedding that's become pretty costly.
"We just, a few months down the road, decided that it was above our budget," Sandra Kidd said.
The couple's reception is supposed to take place on February 15th of next year. They put down $1,000 to save the date. But after booking the full-service reception hall at the Lancer's Club in West El Paso, the couple cancelled four months before the scheduled event. They expected to get their deposit back but only received $550.
The Lancer's written policy, as stated on the couple's contract is: Deposits will be returned at the sole discretion of the Lancer's club.
Our team spoke to the "head chef," Chef Jean Paul, he told us over the phone:
"We gave her more than half of what was owed to her," Jean Paul said. "The rest of the money will be returned when the date is booked."
"We love each other, we want to celebrate our love with our family and friends and it's just making it more stressful," Sandra Kidd said.
So as the date gets closer, the couple says that $450 could be used to pay for other wedding expenses.
The head chef says they'll stick to their policy and agreed to return the rest of the deposit if, and when a new party is booked for that date.
