Don,
I would not return a non-refundable deposit for a weather event. That
deposit could be applied for a mutually agreeable date.
I made exceptions to my policy during the pandemic.

Yep, common decision. Though this might sound argumentative, it's not
meant as such... just genuinely curious. In what situation would you *not*
refund a "non-refundable" deposit?

I generally require a 50% non-refundable deposit
for all weddings and
outdoor events.
I do allow the forfeited deposit to be applied toward a mutually
acceptable make-up date.
For the mentioned gig the deposit was less than 50%. The same policy was
applied - so long as they wished to reschedule, the deposit amount rolled
forward. After the third date was agreed they later chose to go ahead with
the rest of the event, just cancel the dancing. They were cheerfully
refunded the vast majority of the deposit and, should they choose to book
for the suggested first anniversary barn dance, the small amount retained
might be applied.
During the pandemic, I have returned many deposits without questions.
