Cicero wedding venue, Wysockis closing at year-end, brides-to-be worried about rebooking: Your Stori

ELEVEN. ROD: AFTER 70-YEARS IN BUSINESS, WYSOCKIS MANOR, A BANQUET AND WEDDING FACILITY ON LAKESHORE DRIVE IN CICERO WILL BE CLOSING DOWN. CHRISTIE: WHILE WE'RE TOLD THE DECISION WASN'T EASY FOR THE OWNER… IT ALSO HASN'T BEEN EASY FOR SEVERAL BRIDES- TO-BE WHO ARE NOW WITHOUT A WEDDING VENUE AND FRANTICALLY TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION… NEWSCHANNEL NINE'S ROB HACKFORD HAS ONE OF YOUR STORIES. ROB: ASHLEY SZYMANOSKI AND HER FIANCE RANDY HAVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THEIR WEDDING DAY SINCE THEY STARTED DATING BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL… THREE KIDS AND 15 YEARS LATER… THE TWO WERE HOPING THEIR BIG DAY WOULD COME ON THEIR 16TH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 13TH 20-20 AT WSYOCKIS MANOR IN CICERO… ASHLEY: Back in March we went there, me and my fiance and put our deposit down and picked our date and on Wednesday I received an email that they were closing. ROB: SEVEN MONTHS OUT THE COUPLE WAS IN SHOCK… THEIR "SAVE THE DATES" HAD ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED, HOTELS FOR FAMILY BOOKED AND THEIR NEARLY 12-HUNDRED-DOLLAR DEPOSIT TIED UP… ASHLEY: There's nothing more unsettling than knowing I have all this stuff lined up and I have no answers for anybody.

ROB: WYSOCKIS GENERAL MANAGER JAMIE JEROLOMAN JAMIE: We've talked to other facilities we have the coordinators we're trying to make it as easy for them as possible. ROB: JEROLOMAN SAYS THE DECISION TO JEROLOMAN SAYS THE DECISION TO CLOSE WAS A TOUGH ONE… THE BUSINESS WASN'T MAKING MONEY… BUT NOW THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP… ASHLEY IS WILLING TO USE ANOTHER VENUE… BUT DOESN'T BELIEVE WYSOCKIS IS DOING ENOUGH… ASHLEY: I would like to believe what he says is true but a part of me just doesn't believe it. JAMIE: We've always been about making the brides happy one way or another. Like I said we don't want to have to do this but it is what it is, we just can't maintain it. ROB: JEROLOMAN SAYS SEVERAL BRIDES HAVE RECEIVED HELP… AND HE HOPES ONES LIKE ASHLEY WILL IN CICERO ROB HACKFORD NEWSCHANNEL NINE ROD: SINCE ASHLEY'S STORY WAS SHARED ONLINE… SHE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED OFFERS FROM SEVERAL WEDDING VENUES IN CENTRAL NEW YORK… AND SOME OF THEM ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE OTHER DOZEN BRIDES.

CHRISTIE: WE'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON WHERE.
