Man behind the ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ fiasco cancels ‘dream wedding’

The organiser behind the much-derided Willy Wonka Experience has apologised and revealed he will no longer be going ahead with a ‘dream wedding’ funded by ticket sales from the event.

Last week, social media was flooded with photos and videos of what had been marketed as an immersive Roald Dahl experience only to turn out as little more than a half-decorated warehouse filled with budget props and depressed-looking actors. 

Amid a significant backlash from customers, organiser Billy Coull, who runs the event company House of Illuminati behind the project, has since said he takes full responsibility for the furore.

He also revealed he has moved out of his family home and cancelled his upcoming destination wedding, according to The Sunday Times.
