Legal Question in Business Law in California
We are in a dispute with a wedding coordinator because we gave her a 20% deposit via credit card ($3600). Then three days later we changed our minds. We asked for the money back, we NEVER signed a contract. But the contract she sent over said that deposits are non refundable. She never did anything for us but take our money. We have begged for our money back... We are now going to take her to small claims court. My question is are we able to get our money back? Is it worth going to court?

You should just dispute the charge with your credit card company. You have 60 days from the date of the statement the charge appears on. The credit card companies regularly side with the customer, especially when no goods or services have actually been provided.
The above answer is the fastest and easiest way to resolve the matter in your favor.
In fhe unlikely event the credit card company does not side with you, take the matter to small claims court. You never sighed a contract so the small claims judge pro tem will probably rule that the coordinator must return the money because of unjust enrichment.
