Hi,
I am getting married in three weeks, and my fiance and I had previously signed a contract with the lodge where our ceremony and reception are to be held. We rented the entire lodge for the weekend. The contract states that it is between us and the lodge, not a specific person.
Within the last couple of weeks, the ownership of the property changed hands, and the new owners are turning the lodge into a bed and breakfast. They changed the name of the lodge, and they stated that our contract is no longer valid. They told us that they will still "honor it", but have tacked on additional fees (for example, to pump the sewer system after our event) and declared parts of the lodge off-limits for us to use, including the main floor restroom!
Do we have any legal rights, or is our contract truly null and void now? We already have contracts with our photographer, caterer, etc. at that location, and like I said, the wedding is 3 weeks away, so we really cannot go somewhere else. Furthermore, we gave our credit card information to these people prior to them telling us that there would be all these additional charges and restrictions.
Thank you.
