    Thanks for all the info Beks - I think I live very near you, if I read the right article in the local newspaper recently. I came across the thread when I was searching on Google using words like venue, cancellation, rights, refunds etc, and suddenly up came your thread. I was strangely drawn to it because after reading your first few posts I had a feeling that we were dealing with the same place and then when you mentioned the area I knew we were.


    Let us all know if there is anything we can do to help ... do you think you will be going to court?

    Pimento, you have not posted on the Weddings board before and for all we know you could be a relative of the owner of this venue. There are very few people who actually know the name of the venue, and that is because there is legal action currently being taken.

    I'm sorry if you are offended by the zipped-lips, but it is so that any current litigation is not prejudiced and also to ensure that MSE is not involved by association.


    That's OK, I'd be the same if you suddenly turned up on the DIY board... :D

    Hi All,

    Never posted on the weddings boards before but looooong time lurker here (I can't find anyone to marry me but I am bridesmaid for someone who doesn't have a clue what she wants so is pretty much leaving it to me!)

    Just wanted to intro myself as I can't believe this guy's done it again!! Followed your thread all the way through, Bek's, so glad it worked out eventually and that you can help out Viole.

    Good luck!! x
    Really should be doing some work...
