I just got the dreaded letter in the mail today. Sadly, I stuck with T.C. in hopes that it would end well. After a good cry, I called the new lawyers, and I'll basically put in a proof of claim and ry to get something of my money back. After reading through the latest posts, out of the $5k I put in, I have a BIG feeling I'll barely get any of that back. This is a huge blow to us. I will be hunting for places this week. I don't know what to do anymore. :(

As someone who has been going through this since day one please know that there are so many of us that feel your pain. I am so glad that you didn't give them any more money. 5000 seems to be the common number amongst us all. If you ever need to chat or rant, I'm an FM away. A lot of us are staying in close contact and sharing any news we receive. Hang in there and try not to let this get you down. In the end, it's a bump in the road. As I like to say to myself when I'm feeling bad about it, 'if this is the worst things that happens to is than we are pretty lucky in life!'

I didn't get anything in the mail today...did everyone else?
This is so sad to hear. I was JUST at a wedding there on June 21st and it was amazing. The food was still phenomenal and the service was on point.
So sad to see such a beautiful place go.

I got the letter on the mail today. The last wedding will take place on October 6th. Back to the drawing board for me.

On to liquidation.... It's a shame how little we're going to get back.

They just announced that on the news too! I'm sorry to any bride having to go through legal issues with them.

Hi Ladies, I'm sorry to hear about this, it is very disheartening. I work at a venue and we have some available dates this Fall and into next year. If you are interested, please don't hesitate to send me a message. Best of luck <3

Is anyone filing a proof of claim? If so, I just have a question as this form is a bit troublesome to figure out and I don't want to mess this up. :( Does anyone know the Thatched Cottage's last four digits of any number by which creditor identifies debtor? This is for the third question on the proof of claim. If you feel comfortable, please PM me!
Wow. That's so sad. It was such a gorgeous venue! I hope everyone has found a new place for their weddings. That's such a terrible thing to have to deal with, my heart goes out to all of you!
Sold for $4.65M, roughly half of the debt outstanding on the property.
