Surrey city officials issued 15 parking tickets and towed a number of vehicles, Rob Costanzo, general manager of business services, said in an emailed statement.
“City bylaw officers advised the wedding organizer to stop and cease operations due to noise and traffic issues affecting the neighborhood,” Costanzo said.
Surrey city officials returned to the property with gendarmes, building and electrical inspectors on Wednesday in what was described as “several illegal tents”.
“A Ferris wheel was also located on the property,” said Costanzo. “The city issued a stop-work order to the owner for failing to obtain a permit for the large tents.”
