Bride-To-Be's Wedding Plans, $6,700 Deposit Blown Out Of The Water By Reception Hall Facing Foreclosure

In Fall River, Massachusetts, WPRI-TV Channel 12 reports:

  • Most women dream of the perfect wedding. But, for one Fairhaven woman, her nuptials turned into a nightmare after she learned her reception hall is in foreclosure. The Abbey Grill, located at 100 Rock Street in Fall River, is scheduled to be auctioned off March 26. That's three months to the day when Breanna Levesque's wedding was scheduled to take place at the venue.

  • "This perfect dream wedding I worked on for 12 months to plan, I envisioned everything around, I bought my dress around this place, linens, everything," Levesque said.
    Levesque has already put down a $6,700 dollar deposit for the reception hall. Money she fears she will not get back. Employees said they were left high and dry as well.
