What, exactly, is a verbal agreement? If I told her I was all but sold on her work, but that I still needed to check with my fiance... and she interpreted that as an "agreement," I still think that's her professional fault. But I just want to watch my back before I take any action.

Abaya, there is no need for you to say that you will go to court or that she should contact your attorney. She claims to be the "wronged" person and therefore she must take it to small claims court. She has been in business too long and has probably pulled this stunt too many times not know how useless that effort would be without a signed contract. Even your "verbal" agreement held a stipulation of k's approval.
I think that all you need to do is calmly respond to her (certified snail mail) that you do not agree with her position that $300 is owed her in that no verbal or written agreement exists. End of letter.
My two cents, sweetheart. This has caused you far more distress than the worth of her threat. Take a deep breath, hug your wonderful man, and let this problem remain on her shoulders. It's not yours to worry about.
