Legal Question in Family Law in New York

When I got engaged, we decided to get married at Disney, in Florida. I gave my fiance $450 toward a deposit on the wedding package (which I later found out was non-refundable). For no valid reason, other than she just "changed her mind", she has called off the engagement, as well as the wedding. She has returned the ring, which I believe she is legally obligated to do. However, I want to know if I am entitled to recover the deposit from her. I believe that her acceptance of my proposal constitutes a sort of verbal contract, and now she is renegging. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

She did not have to return the ring and you do not have a verbal contract.
