An Arizona bride was left in tears on her wedding day when police forced the couple to shut down their reception within minutes when the venue didn’t have the proper permits to host the event and neighbors complained about the loud music.
“We had a beautiful 10-minute ceremony, and then as soon as we turned the DJ on, it was like the police were there,” Bride Holliann Tran told Arizona’s Family Wednesday.
“The police were like, ‘We have to shut it down.’ And I was like you’re joking, this can’t be real. And they said, ‘No, you rented a venue that’s not actually a venue,’ and I just start instantly bawling.”
Tran rented the Wrangler’s Roost in New River, a historic Stagecoach stop 30 miles outside of Phoenix and listed on the National Register of Historic Places , to host her special day in Nov. 2022.
The three-home property, advertised as a space for private events, was just what she and her future husband-to-be were looking for.
