Bride wins $4,300 judgment against Langley venue for wedding cancellation
The tribunal said the bride had a binding contract and added $3,987.50 in replacement-venue costs, fees and document expenses.
- On Oct. 9, the Civil Resolution Tribunal awarded a bride $4,365 after her wedding venue in Langley Township, Latimer Rooftop, abruptly shut down without a business license.
- Latimer Rooftop operated without a business license and was not zoned for "assembly use," preventing it from hosting events like weddings, the Township found after community complaints.
- The bride booked the venue in 2023 but had to find a replacement just two and a half months before her wedding; the new space cost $7,350, more than double the planned price.
- Andrea Ritchie, the tribunal's adjudicator, ruled the bride had a binding contract and ordered the venue's numbered company to pay damages; the tribunal dismissed the claim against Vesta Properties, finding it uninvolved.
- The $4,365 judgment covers the price difference between venues, $50 in travel costs for her hairdresser, and tribunal fees, while Latimer Rooftop's Instagram account stopped posting in February and its website is now offline.
