Well, unless your contract was written by a contract genius which states something to the fact that payment would be required even if the event doesn’t happen, you wouldn’t get any money. Now maybe if you collected and stated a reservation fee you might be able to keep that. But I have been hearing judges don’t like to hand over money if services weren’t not provided and you can’t show a lost because of the cancellation. I’ve been to small claims court, even if you win, collecting a judgement from someone who really doesn’t want to pay is an exercise in futility.
