Complaint Review: Omega Event Services and owner Doug Lattin

 I would highly recommend steering clear of this company. We originally contacted Doug (owner) to scope out our desired venue, as we live out of state, because we wanted to make sure the tent we needed would fit at this venue. Doug emailed us indicating that he drove to the venue and measured the area and that it would indeed fit and that the tent would be able to go over the tree in the middle of the yard. Based on this good news, we sent Doug a $5,000 security deposit, as we knew we would at least be able to have our wedding at this spot. The next time we were up in Minnesota we went to the venue with Doug and everyone basically stood there in awe (including Doug) wondering how a tent would ever fit over this giant tree smack dab in the middle of the yard. It was as if he never actually scoped out the area to begin with or maybe he went blind, I'm not sure. He then confirmed it would not fit. Very long (and painful) story short, we spent several months trying to get our deposit back from him (in the midst of wedding planning) and he refused to pick up the phone and talk to us. Its over a year later and that $5,000 still sits with Doug for being nothing but a hassle. We thankfully never used his services, yet he still has our money. WHAT A JOKE.
