The dream wedding quickly turned into a nightmare when a fire broke out in the chic venue’s huge marquee on Saturday evening.

The flames unfolded across the tables and fake foliage, burning several feet into the air.

The fire tore through the artificial vegetation on the ceiling, raining bits of it on the guests’ heads and forcing them to flee quickly.

The rescuers were sent to the lavish wedding and successfully evacuated 850 people, including the groom and bride.

Five people, including a DJ, required treatment for burns, while 25 guests were treated for smoke inhalation – with only minor injuries reported.

Firefighters fought for two hours to extinguish the inferno, local authorities said.

But local media added that the fire brigade team was still working to extinguish the smoldering rubble until the next one morning.

The fire broke out at the Hacienda Los Arcángeles, which describes itself as “one of the most exclusive and popular locations for weddings and events”.

According to reports, a short circuit may have caused the sudden fire.
