Should we pay a coordinator for a wedding back after we was told we did not have to?
If you give the person who is coordinatoring your wedding money for decorations and everything and she runs out of money. But she doesn’t tell the bride nor the groom that she ran out until the day before the wedding after she had already bought everything. That same night she told us that we did not have to pay her for the stuff that she bought but for the gas that was out agreement. But know she saying that we owe her money for the stuff that she bought. Do we have to pay her that stuff back even though she had all ready told us we did not?

From what you write, she violated her obligations or agreement to you, by presumably (because she had run out of money) not being able to purchase everything she was supposed to. If that was the case, then you would have had grounds to sue her for breach of contract. If so, then if you and she agreed to settle the matter by her not charging you for purchases, that would have been an enforceable oral agreement to settle her potenial liability. In that case, you would likely not have to pay her, because of the agreement.
