[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, NV ZIP] [Email] [Phone] [Date] [Wedding Venue Name] [Venue Address] [City, NV ZIP] Via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested and Email: [venue email] Re: Demand for Refund of Wedding Deposit Event Date: [Original wedding date] Contract Date: [Date signed] Deposit Amount: $[Amount] Dear [Venue Manager/Owner]: I am writing to demand return of my $[Amount] wedding venue deposit. Your retention of this deposit constitutes an unenforceable penalty under Nevada law. FACTUAL BACKGROUND: On [Date], I signed a contract with [Venue Name] for my wedding reception scheduled for [Date]. I paid a deposit of $[Amount]. On [Date], I notified you in writing of my cancellation, providing [Number] days/months notice. You refused any refund, citing the contract's "non-refundable deposit" clause. YOUR REFUSAL TO REFUND IS UNLAWFUL: 1. UNENFORCEABLE PENALTY: Under Nevada common law, a liquidated damages clause is enforceable only if it represents a reasonable estimate of anticipated damages. Your full forfeiture of my $[Amount] deposit is a penalty, not legitimate liquidated damages, because: - I provided [Number] days/months notice, giving you ample time to re-book - You HAVE re-booked my date: [Describe evidence - e.g., "Your website shows availability is no longer shown for [Date]" or "I'm aware another couple booked my date"] - Your actual damages from my cancellation are minimal since you've resold the date - A $[Amount] forfeiture for a cancelled reservation bears no reasonable relationship to actual harm 2. UNJUST ENRICHMENT: By keeping my full deposit while also collecting full payment from another couple for the same date, you are unjustly enriched. Nevada law does not permit double recovery. DEMAND: I demand return of $[Amount] within fourteen (14) days. If you claim any actual damages from my cancellation, please provide an itemized accounting. I am willing to discuss a reasonable administrative fee if you can document actual costs incurred. CONSEQUENCES OF NON-COMPLIANCE: If you do not refund my deposit, I will: 1. File suit in Nevada Justice Court (small claims) seeking: - Return of my deposit as an unenforceable penalty - Court costs and filing fees 2. Report your business practices to the Nevada Attorney General Consumer Protection 3. File reviews documenting your refusal to refund deposits when you've re-booked dates 4. If applicable, dispute the charge with my credit card company I prefer to resolve this amicably. Please contact me to arrange refund. Sincerely, [Your Signature] [Your Name] Enclosures: - Copy of signed contract - Proof of deposit payment - Copy of cancellation notice - Evidence of date rebooking (if available)

THE BREACH: When I signed the contract on [Date], the following terms were agreed: [List original terms - space, date, time, services, price, etc.] On [Date], you informed me that [describe the change]: - [Example: "the venue would no longer be available for the agreed time slot"] - [Example: "the ballroom we booked was being renovated and we'd be moved to a smaller space"] - [Example: "our wedding would now have to end by 10pm instead of midnight"] - [Example: "catering prices had increased by 40%"] This constitutes a material breach because [explain why the change is material - it defeats the purpose of the contract, fundamentally alters what you bargained for]. NEVADA CONTRACT LAW: Under Nevada contract law, when one party materially breaches, the other party is entitled to: 1. Treat the contract as terminated 2. Recover all amounts paid 3. Recover additional damages caused by the breach Your unilateral change to material terms is a breach entitling me to full refund of my deposit. DEMAND: I demand full refund of $[Amount] within fourteen (14) days. Additionally, if I incurred costs booking an alternative venue at higher prices due to your breach, I reserve the right to seek those additional damages. If you dispute that your changes constitute material breach, please explain in writing. However, I am confident Nevada law supports my position and I am prepared to litigate if necessary.
