If there's one thing June is known for it's weddings, a time for great happiness and joy—unless something goes wrong. Imagine that just before the big day, you find that the bridal shop has gone belly-up, leaving you and your bridesmaids without your wedding dresses, or the photographer you hired has absconded with your deposit. We've seen such disappointments occur time and again.
Earlier this month, for example, the Pennsylvania attorney general announced a series of settlements, including one with a wedding photographer who was accused of accepting payments and then either failing to show up at weddings or failing to provide consumers with their albums or photographs. Also this month, the Florida attorney general filed a lawsuit against the operator of a wedding venue that suddenly shut down after taking $22,600 in deposits from at least eight consumers. And in time for the wedding season, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of New York warned consumers to take precautions when booking caterers, musicians, and other wedding products and services.
