Due to renovation, the hotel cancelled the wedding banquet. May I ask double indemnity?

Legal analysis: Yes. When booking a wedding banquet in a hotel, a consumer service contract is established between the two parties. Therefore, no matter which party fails to perform the agreed obligations, it shall bear the liability for breach of contract in accordance with the contract and legal provisions. The reason why the hotel failed to hold the wedding reservation as scheduled due to renovation is neither an accident nor force majeure. Therefore, the hotel should be liable for breach of contract. You can ask the hotel for double indemnity deposit, or you can ask the hotel to compensate you for other losses.

Legal basis: Article 587 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), the parties may agree that one party shall pay a deposit to the other party as a guarantee for the creditor's rights. After the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be used as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the agreed debt, it has no right to demand the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the agreed debt, it shall return the deposit twice.
