In a separate incident, a mother in the United States is disputing a wedding venue’s refusal to refund an $18,000 deposit after her son’s unexpected death prior to his wedding. Chris Perry, 33, died in May after collapsing just before his birthday, leaving his fiancée, Kristen Seidel, seeking a refund from The cotton Room in Durham, North Carolina, were their October 11th wedding was booked.
The venue, owned by TC Hospitality Group, maintains a non-refundable deposit policy, citing lost revenue from turning away other potential bookings for that date.”During that time, we turned away other couples who inquired about booking October 11,” explained executive director Michelle Aldred. “While our deposit policy is non-refundable, we deeply sympathise with the family’s loss and extend our sincere condolences.” Sue Perry, the groom’s mother, reports unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a resolution with the venue.
