Hotel rules ruined New York couple's wedding: she filed a $5 million lawsuit

Wedding bells now ring extremely quietly. The wedding of the daughter of a wealthy real estate family turned into a nightmare when Brooklyn hotel did not report "strict" noise restrictions. The guests had to move to a cramped, "dirty" room outside the hotel for music and dancing. This was dictated by the new law on wedding ceremonies, explains New York Post.

“It was a very, very big disappointment,” said Marjorie Newman, mother of the bride Jessica Alovis. This was supposed to be her best night, which she was deprived of.

Jessica Alovis and Matt Alovis hosted a lavish ceremony with 200 guests at the Brooklyn Pier 1 Hotel on September 18th. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to a lawsuit filed by Marjorie and Russell Newman. The couple paid the bill for wedding daughters, including $150 for flowers alone.

But after the reception began, the newlyweds learned that the rule limits the sound to a "negligible" decibel level. Guests could barely hear the music, according to a lawsuit filed Jan. 31 in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

Couple's wedding dance ruined

According to the Newmans, the declining music level ruined the couple's first dance. After the DJ refused to turn on the music, the guests were sent to a small dark room on the second floor of an adjacent building. Together with them, the organizer of their wedding, the star of the TV series "Real Housewives" Miami» Gerdy Abraira.

Less than an hour after the reception began, the wedding was moved from a spacious, well-decorated reception room to a modest after-party hall. It seated only 60 people and had less than a dozen seats.

There was nowhere to even sit. There were no flowers in this room. Most of the adults, apart from our very good friends and family, left at this point. In fact, no one had the slightest idea what was happening, ”said Marjorie Newman. She added that her daughter couldn't even "throw the bouquet" after months of relentless planning.

A dream turned into a nightmare

According to her, the sudden movement interrupted the course of the festivities, embarrassed the guests. Less mobile older people had to leave the event.

Jessica Alovis was upset that the most important day of her life turned into chaos.

“They knocked the carpet out from under us,” the father of the bride said, adding that the hotel didn’t help them move the guests. “She [Jessica Alovis] can’t look at her wedding album and she gets upset every time she sees pictures. It was a terrible situation that could have been avoided."

Sanford Rubenstein, the family's lawyer, chalked it up to greed.

“Turning a beautiful dream into a nightmare and ruining one of the most important days in a girl’s life — her wedding day — is, in my opinion, an example of corporate greed at its worst,” said Rubenstein, who filed the lawsuit.

Representatives for the Brooklyn Pier 1 Hotel and Abraira did not respond to requests for comment.
