Wedding Venue Cancelled - Deposit & Other Costs

It's not clear to me who the OP contracted to, the article indicates the caterers not the venue have refunded the couples
"On Saturday, the couples received an email from Adrian Roberts, from caterers Four Leaf Clover, which took over the organisation of weddings at the venue from another chef last year.

In it, he said he had "been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement" with Ms Coull over a dispute and added it was "unlikely that your wedding will proceed there".

On Tuesday Mr Roberts said: "All couples who had made deposit payments to Four Leaf Clover have been repaid."

So the question is OP, did you pay your deposit direct to the venue or to Four Leaf Clover?

More a case of yet more bad vibes than confusing to me.

OP from what she has written appears to have a contract with the venue. Four Leaf appears to be the caterer who took over from OPs original chef.

So the people whom Four Leaf have repaid were under different contract arrangements, perhaps because the previous caterer did a runner with deposits advanced by the venue and the venue changed the arrangements to protect themselves. The snippet you quoted may not be relevant to OP.
