Can you transfer your wedding date at Skirball Cultural Center?
Checked 2026-10-18 against the sources below. Not affiliated with Skirball Cultural Center. Not legal advice: your own contract controls.
Short answer
The venue's published FAQ says deposits are non-refundable and rescheduling also loses the deposit, but that it reviews rescheduling requests case by case. It says nothing public about handing a date to another couple, so you'd need to ask the events team directly.

This FAQ appears on the venue's profile on PartySlate, not on skirball.org. Check your own contract and confirm with the Skirball events team.
What to do next
- Ask whether a new couple could take over your date under a new contract with your deposit credited. Get any answer in writing.
- Read your own contract for the words “assign,” “transfer” and “non-transferable.” Your signed contract, not a brochure or FAQ, is what applies to you.
If a transfer is possible
List it on Unrefundable for free. We review the contract, find an interested couple, and only charge an 8% success fee once the venue or vendor confirms the transfer in writing. If the venue says no, ask about your outside vendors instead: those contracts are separate.
