Bride’s Airbnb reservation canceled on wedding day, TikTok video goes viral

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas – A bride and her bridal party were evicted from their Airbnb reservation on the day of the wedding, leading to a viral TikTok video with nearly 10 million views. The host, Reina Tarte, is now addressing the situation, claiming that important details were omitted from the online narrative.

Tarte stated the original booking was made for just two guests, and she had communicated a maximum occupancy limit due to liability reasons.
