    Do you know if your original wedding date has been rebooked by the venue?

    So far I have stopped 3 brides from booking there, with internal noticeboard! So think how much you have prevented other people from suffering the same fate! :T
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:

    Yey!! Thanks Franny and well done you!! :j:j:j That makes me feel better! :D
    OH was stopped at work the other day - asked if he knew the owner of the venue - very cagey about why! OH said "errr yes, kinda, well actually I am in dispute with him". Told the guy the story and turns out, he was gonna book his wedding there that afternoon and pay £2500 deposit!!!! He went home, told his fiancee and they cancelled. Told the owner that they had heard some very bad reports!! :D
    Word is definitely getting around as my friends have been putting people off too, okay at the moment it is just small numbers of people but hopefully there will come a time when I will hit him hard!! ;):p
  • Ha your doing him out of money already serves him right! I thought we had some good news then I was about to run down the street naked. Oh well there is that to come :)

    I will be keeping my eye out on other wedding forums for people who mention this place and warn them off :)

    Trouble is that if everyone stops booking then other people in same position as Beks, but without CCJ's, will also lose their money! Surely not all weddings there are a disaster - I've seen some favourable reviews?
  • Oh! My! Dear! God! Just read the news page of the website.. I cannot belive this guy has the audacity to post the 5 Feb 2010 blog! !!!!!!!

    I have my fingers etc crossed!

    Viole - there are more unfavourable reviews than favourable ones - remember favourable reviews can be written by the venue themselves.

    Anyway I hope that Beks and her OH get their money back and then some.
  • keep it up becks - hopefully you'll get the result you deserve soon x just a thought - not sure if it's been mentioned before but can you complain to whoever issues the licence to the venue? probably the council/registrar? as they approve the venues they may be interested to hear the problems?

  • Just looked at their news, oh dear!! Didn't know until just now that they also own a pub that we used to go to a lot until it closed for refurbishment. It's opened up again now but not the same style so haven't been there since, i'm glad now :D
