    I just had an email from the venue that i had fallen in love with..... the rooms that we had chosen have been destroyed in an arson attack. i am so upset. i had taken since we got engaged to finally choose this venue and it was perfect!!
    Apparently they are setting up a semi permanent structure but it wont look anything like the tudor barns and high beamed gallery i had picked for my gothic cinderella theme.... i know i have ages to look for another venue but in my hunt for this one i searched for like 10 months and this was the only thing that came within budget and i adored. i would try for a gothic church but h2b refuses to get married in a church.

    Have they not given an indication on how long the repairs/rebuild will take? There no chance it will be sorted for your big day?

    What a horrible thing to happen ): Hope you manage to find something thats even more amazing x x

    apparently the plans to rebuild will be put through in the next 6 months and then it could take a year to rebuild it in a similar way. i dont think it would be ready in time :-(

    Surely they would have rebuilt within a year? They will be losing business without a permanent structure.

    What I want to call the people who done that can't be written on here, it would be too offensive!!!! I am sooo sorry for you, it was a stunning room. You can replicate the tables and decor, I wonder if there is anyway of getting the walls and ceiling of a marque to look like that room, like some projectors discreetly placed, something like that, maybe someone could come up with some ingenuous idea. I know it wouldn't be the real thing, but it may an affordable alternative.

    I literally gasped when I saw that. It must be devastating for the owners of the building. I guess it's a tiny consolation that your wedding is 12 months away, imagine if you were due to get married there this Saturday. I hope you sort something.

    This is awful! What exactly did they get out of burning it down? Hopefully they will find them and they will be punished. But my mum always says to me that everything happens for a reason and what is meant to be will be. So maybe you will find somewhere even better now! Have a look on some photographers websites. They may have photos of places that arent well known as wedding venues because they are just starting up, this is how I found somewhere for my best friend to get married and it is truly stunning! But its not well known as it has only been doing weddings for a year. Fingers crossed you will find somewhere even better hun! xxx
