The fines come after the board of health said it received several complains about the size of the wedding prior to it taking place over the weekend.

As night falls in the Colonial Hotelutility crews working after thetropical storm spending the eveningover the weekend.

It was a party Sundaywhen we were driving by.

We just sawthat the packing latte was packed andcaught our attention because it's beenempty all this time during Koven 152100 cars.

I mean, it was a A weddingSaturday night with 240 people.

Inanother event Sunday, with nearly 200the owners allegedly throwing the partyfor a family member and asking 70 staffmembers to help cater it, one of thosestaff members whistle blowing to thecity.

The Health Department says it hadalready formally warned the owners notto host large events for the state'sCove in 19 guidelines, but they sayColonial Hotel disobeyed.

I thinkpolicies were in place for a reason andshould be followed.

The city is findingthe hotel $300 for the wedding andanother 300 for the event the next day.There haven't been any formalcomplaints about the use of the bar ordance floor, but the city says it'sinvestigating that I personally don'tcare because II don't really agree with the wholemass thing, butother people, to each his own.

I guessnow the state Department of Labor isalso investigating this.

We reached outseveral times throughout the course ofthe day for the other side of the storyhere from the owners of the hotel, butthey never got back to us.
