Sobbing brides-to-be slam Minnesota wedding venue after it permanently closes just days before their nuptials - as the owner's brutal email to couples is revealed

A devastated bride-to-be is left scrambling to find a reception venue after her 'historic' wedding barn announced its closure in a brutal email just days before the couple's big celebration and is not offering them a refund.

Katelyn Stalboerger, 26, uploaded a video to TikTok to share the heartbreaking news and appeal to viewers for help after she was informed that the picturesque barn she'd chosen to host her wedding had shut down suddenly. 

In the video, which has no accumulated over three million views, a teary-eyed Stalboerger describes how she and her fiancé were supposed to get married at Circle B Wedding and Events Center in less than two weeks. 

The pair had booked the Isanti, Minnesota, venue a year ago and paid more than $10,000 up front to the owners.  

However, the venue sent out a sudden email saying the company would be closed immediately. 'We are sorry announce that CIRCLE B Wedding and Events Venue will be closing effective immediately.'

Stalboerger and her fiancé Isaac Nelson had booked the venue a year ago and paid more than $10,000 up front to the owners.

The venue sent out a sudden email saying the company would be closed immediately. 'We are sorry announce that CIRCLE B Wedding and Events Venue will be closing effective immediately'

'We have nowhere to go and are not getting our money back,' the bride-to-be revealed. 

Stalboerger had planned to pack 185 guests into the 'historic' barn for a picturesque wedding reception after the church service.

She is now left with a fully planned wedding reception - including photographers, caterers, flowers and entertainment - but nowhere to host.

'Honestly, at first I thought it was a scam. I realized it wasn't a scam when their website was gone and shortly after they deleted all of their social media,' said Stalboerger. 

The email further explained, 'It is no longer possible to maintain the business in the current economic environment, the change in the economy, proliferation of new wedding venues in the market and most importantly increased costs have forced the management to make the difficult decision to close the historic venue.'

'For those of you that have upcoming weddings, we are truly sorry, but unfortunately we will be unable to accommodate your special event.

'We understand that this news will not only be disheartening to many of you and your families, but for many of you this will been devasting for your plans, for that we are truly sorry.'

The owners only opened the Isanti County wedding barn in 2023 - but the 'historic' venue was quickly shut down less than a year down the line.

Some other couples disrupted by the sudden closure had managed to get in touch with the Butts or their attorney - and they were told that no fees would be reimbursed. 

These payments included some that were requested and paid just days before the email was sent out. 

Stalboerger and her fiancé Isaac Nelson, who are set to get married on May 4, have received immense support from TikTok users who are eager to save their special day. 

'I think I'm more sad just because I had this day in my mind of what it was going to look like and that all came crashing down really fast in one email,' Stalboerger told FOX 9.
