My hair & make-up person charged a cancellation fee after the wedding was cancelled due to Covid, which I recently found out wasn't lawful. For the new date, they then announced that they'd have to leave 2 hours before the ceremony, so I went with someone else, and they kept my deposit. I'm down about £400 as a result.
I've emailed law firms but because of the amount involved, it wasn't worth them taking it on. Trading standards could only give advice but can't pursue things on your behalf, same with Citizens Advice.
I wonder if anyone ahs any advice for how I can get my money back?
