A Florida wedding venue is refusing to return thousands of dollars in deposits, even after a bride’s fiancé died unexpectedly months before their planned wedding.
Tye Hinson and William Coney were set to marry in May at the Crystal Ballroom Lake Mary, a large all‑inclusive event space chosen to accommodate their growing guest list. But shortly before Thanksgiving, Coney, 42, suffered a fatal heart attack. Hinson says she contacted the venue two days later to inform them of the tragedy.
