Florida appeals court lifts restrictions after wedding venue alleges noisy neighbour disruptions

A wedding ceremony is supposed to be a peaceful celebration, but a Florida wedding venue found itself dealing with a very different kind of disturbance. Its owners accused their neighbours of repeatedly disrupting ceremonies with loud gunfire, revving chainsaw and airboat engines, loud music and roaming dogs.

The alleged disturbances became the subject of a legal dispute after the venue claimed that the behaviour was interfering with its business and threatening its future.The Florida Sixth District Court of Appeal addressed the dispute in its October 30, 2026, decision in Brad Hatcher and Audrey Hatcher v. Restorical, LLC, doing business as Sydonie Mansion.

The ruling, available on Justia, overturned a temporary injunction that had restricted the neighbours' conduct during weddings and other events.
