Hotels in Financial Difficulty

Hi all Im a 2013 bride. We have our venue booked for ceremony and reception for months. However, rumours have begun to spread about the hotel getting into financial difficulty... Now we are faced with a dilema. Do we wait it out and see what happens? Do we book an alternative venue and the same thing happens? I love the venue we have picked but my heart tells me something is not quiet right. Anyone have experience or advice around protecting ourselves and our hard earned money from going down the tube when a venue goes under? We have all heard the horror stories. I dont think I could take the stress of it happening to me.
