Couples left without Inn At Stonehall wedding reception venue
About 10 couples have been told weeks before their weddings they will be unable to use a Worcestershire venue . Caroline Shellam said she had been “ devastated ” after hearing by email on Saturday her reception on 25 May at the Inn At Stonehall would be “ unlikely ”. The catering company that ran weddings at the venue blamed differences it could not resolve with the inn ’ s owner . Owner Joanna Coull apologised to the couples but “ could not comment further because of potential legal action ”. Ms Shellam said she had booked the venue with her fiance Thomas Horn in August and said she had “ never , ever thought ” there would be any problems . “ We had just finished putting the wedding invitations in envelopes and were just about to post them when I got the email ,” she said . ‘ Complete nightmare ’ “ We ’ re really going to struggle to find somewhere else in such little time - and we had chosen the bank holiday weekend , so everything ’ s booked out already . “ Our wedding ceremony is in Malvern , so we ’ re restricted to that area to look for a reception venue . We ’ ve got guests already booking accommodation near to the inn - it ’ s a complete nightmare .” She said the couple had already paid a £ 500 deposit and would now also lose the cost of the invitations , which would need reprinting if another venue could be found . On Saturday , the couples received an email from Adrian Roberts , from caterers Four Leaf Clover , which took over the organisation of weddings at the venue from another chef last year . In it , he said he had “ been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement ” with Ms Coull over a dispute and added it was “ unlikely that your wedding will proceed there ”. On Tuesday Mr Roberts said : “ All couples who had made deposit payments to Four Leaf Clover have been repaid .” Charlotte Berlyn , from Pershore , had been planning to hold her reception at the venue in July . She said she had since been able to rebook at another venue but added she “ was assuming ” she would lose the £ 250 deposit she had paid to the Inn At Stonehall . Ms Coull said she was now contacting the couples in turn to explain the situation but was unable to speak further publicly at present .
