A popular wedding venue in Marlborough has been forced to cancel bookings months out from the start of the wedding season after a complaint prompted a check of its resource consent. On receiving this complaint, the council looked at the resource consent for the venue which consented a maximum of 50 people. "Council's position is consistent with all resource consent holders, it is the responsibility of the consent holder to comply with their consent." Brya Ingram/Stuff The "rustic" wedding venue is on the corner of State Highway 1 and Malthouse Rd. "The resource consent holder has advertised and operated the venue beyond the scope of their consent," the spokeswoman said.
