A Tennessee<\/a> bride-to-be claims she lost thousands of dollars after the wedding venue she booked suddenly closed without telling her.<\/p>\n

Bonnie Sheridan, 28, began to grow worried when she hadn’t heard from the venue as she was planning her big day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the advice of her wedding planner, she attempted to check in with the owners of the 409 South Main venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Days later,\u00a0Jared Welch, a representative for the venue, finally responded in an email that the building was ‘in the foreclosure process.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sheridan said she was ‘blown away’ by the audacity of the company not informing her – and potentially other brides – of their decision to shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I got no word,’ Sheridan told Fox19<\/a>. ‘I’m blown away by the disrespect that you can do to somebody like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They put so much money into it, because it’s not an inexpensive venue, and that’s their wedding day. And you didn’t even have the decency to tell anybody.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welch also told Sheridan that ‘all bank accounts have been closed’, and the owner\/investors are ‘no longer able to fund the business.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bonnie Sheridan, 28, said when she went to ‘check in’ with the luxury venue’s owners, months ahead of her special day, a representative for the space told her the building was permanently closed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He then suggested she ‘file a lien out against the building’ to get her money back.<\/p>\n

Social media pages for the venue have not been active since summer 2024. The venue’s website is down, along with the venue’s phone number.<\/p>\n

Despite the massive disappointment, Sheridan said she is ‘going to move forward.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I’m just going to move forward and hopefully something good can come of it,’ Sheridan said. ‘Hopefully I can reach out to other brides, you know, and just at the end of the day, I know I’m getting married to the person that I love.’<\/p>\n

Sheridan said she was able to book another venue for her wedding.<\/p>\n

NBC affiliate, WMC-TV<\/a>, reported\u00a0that an incentive loan issued by the Downtown Memphis Commission in 2023 for renovations to 409 South Main Street location – which were expected to be completed in 2025 – was cancelled.<\/span><\/p>\n
