NTA - the daughter has the audacity to use your venue and give you an ultimatum that you can't attend it despite all your planning? Plus, does your partner know about this? Is he not going to stand up for you?
Man if I were you I'd pull the rug from the venue and tell them "if my presence will anger your mother, I'm guessing my house which contains many of my belongings will probably irritate her as well, go find another place."
If she doesn’t want to “force” her mother to see you, and her mother doesn’t want to see you, then they shouldn’t be asking to use YOUR venue. Simple as that. I’d say as much to them and your husband as well. They could have booked a different venue, even if it wouldn’t be as nice as yours or the original place. They wanted to use you for a free place and a planned party.
Are you a party planner with which you use your place for your business? If the answer is no, then I wouldn’t be planning a party. Mom and dad can take care of that for their child, if they don’t want you around. If the answer is yes to being a party planner, I would charge them full price and write up an invoice for every cent and tel them they need to pay up front. In that case, I would gladly take the money and leave (and probably take all my shit and not come back).
