A hotel and wedding venue in the Harborough District which closed suddenly has debts of over £4.5m.
Catthorpe Manor near Lutterworth ceased trading in September leaving the wedding plans of many couples in ruins and some out of pocket.
Documents seen by HFM detail the dire financial position of the operator of the venue, LWT Trading UK Limited.
Thirty customers are owed a total of over £24,000, while the amount owed to trade creditors exceeds over £134,000.
The largest debt was owed to the Latvian Welfare Trust, which financially-backed the operating company.
Yasmin Wright and Jack Roylance were one of the man couples who had their wedding plans ruined by the closure
Catthorpe Manor was criticised for not informing couples of the closure in advance.
Yasmin Wright and Jack Roylance from Market Harborough were due to get married there next year and have lost their deposit of over £1,200.
The couple have now had to postpone the wedding until 2025.
Yasmin spoke to HFM:
