First step would be to call the hotel to verify / check to see if the reservation exists for you. Depending on if they used their card or yours, you might be able to possibly grab it by making sure the contact information/authorizations on it is for you. This is risky especially if they didn't use your card for the reservation because they could get mad and try to cancel it if you refuse to pay more. You could try to contact the hotel directly and see if you can appeal to someone to get you a deal. If the prices are similar to the new quote from the travel agent, if it were I, I would just tell the travel agent to stuff it and book directly. If the wedding is something beachy, note that August is in the middle of hurricane season. Travel insurance is something you might want to consider too.
