DOVER, Fla. – The fallout continues after the sudden closure of Cross Creek Ranch, a popular wedding venue in Dover that shut down abruptly last week. It left employees jobless and dozens of couples searching for new places to hold their weddings.
The closure came without warning from owners Bonnie and Sean McSharry, who informed the couples by email that the business was shutting down due to “circumstances beyond our control and significant changes within the industry.”
