Just days before their wedding, Kendyl Mara Klein and Benjamin Peter DiGiulio were forced to evacuate due to a fire threatening their venue in the Pacific Palisades. After receiving a refund for the venue, they set out to find a new location last minute with help from family and friends. They called multiple venues, and while they were faced with challenges, they eventually secured a booking at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey, which agreed to accommodate them without additional charges for their initial venue refund.
They went to bed hopeful things might be better by morning. Instead, they were far worse... we either had to change the date or get a full refund.
Ms. Klein's two older sisters and a high school friend swooped in to help. The women called 15 venues in the Los Angeles area, all of which were open to assisting them.
When they called the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey, Jessica Lange, a senior sales manager, asked, ‘What was your refund?’ When she told them, Ms. Lange said, ‘That’s all you’ll pay.’
