'Distraught' Bride Wins Over $22K After Wedding Reception Tent Collapsed Due to High Winds

UK couple awarded over $22,000 after their wedding yurt collapsed in high winds, with the court finding a breach of contract by the rental company.
The judge ordered the company to refund the tent cost and additional charges, totaling over $22,000.
Testimony described the site as extremely windy and the venue as 'incredibly exposed' on the wedding day.
A caterer testified that the wedding conditions were the worst she had experienced in 17 years of catering.
The couple reportedly had to move to a last-minute marquee and mobile bar from another venue due to the collapse.
The ruling emphasized that the seller did not deploy sufficient personnel for remedial work after erecting the tent.
The court noted the burden of salvaging the event fell to the claimants, impacting their wedding experience.
Media outlets cited The Telegraph for official details of the June 2024 incident near Guisborough, England.
The decision was reported by People and linked to the Telegraph’s coverage of the case.
The judge described the situation as a breach of contract and emphasized inadequate efforts to erect and repair the tent.
