Minnesota Wedding Venues Stepping Up to Help Blindsided Couples
Just a few days ago, Minnesota couples were devastated, stressed, and infuriated to receive an email from their wedding venue, Circle B in Isanti, saying they were closing, effective immediately. No mention of refunds. And any weddings that had been booked there were no longer happening.

Circle B Wedding Venue in Isanti Suddenly Closes with No Refunds
Couples also had no way of getting in contact with the owners. Here's what part of the email said:
"It is no longer possible to maintain the business in the current economic environment... For many of you, this will been devastating for your plans, for that we are truly sorry. Nobody is available to take calls or emails."
WCCO writes that the owners are Wayne and Angi Butt who also own another wedding venue in Cottage Grove called Furber Farm. Last I checked, that one's still up and running.
If you'd like to get the full scoop, because the tea is hot and people are mad, I'll like that below for you.
