Rolig's post is spot on.... You have no recourse other than to take your business elsewhere.

However,

A Wedding Planner [in RL or SL] is an individual that should not be hired without checking references. After that check, you should ask for the detailed NC regarding services offered and the exact costs. You should visit the actual venue and see what group owns it. Make sure all the staff and the Wedding Planner you are interviewing are staff members. Ask to see picture albums of previous weddings held at the location managed by your wedding planner.

If you like what you see and the references check out, then and only then do you leave a deposit.

From what I can discern from your post is that you didn't do any of these things.

Wedding Planners are not your new BFF. Your personal real life or situation is none of their business and you shouldn't share any of that with them, period, unless it is germane to the marriage experience you want to have.

You are hiring a temporary "professional" employee. Treat them as such and as the professional they show themselves to be.

If you have an "Oh Oh" feeling about the planner or venue, keep on looking.
