Dealing with THIS GUY is the worst! He is a thief and a liar. **************** was originally supposed to happen in March 2020 and was postponed too many times to count. I feel sorry for all the people who spent thousands of dollars on "VIP lifetime tickets" which included a ticket for all future parties that would never happen. At the time, I felt sorry for ************ because COVID wasn't his fault and things weren't under his control. I waited it out and never asked for my money back for the cancelled parties. In the end 1 Gatsby party happened, but it paled in comparison to what was promised and never took place at the Biltmore. The biggest SCAM of all was the vacation rental passes that he sold when trying to recoup some money. It was borrowed money that he would never give back despite promising to refund me. I waited that out too, planning to redeem them when things settled down. Alas, it was all a scam and his website is gone. He never build the mansion across the lake where the passes were supposed to be be good for. It was more money lost and an insult to injury. So many dreams dashes and so many people involved that he hurt. I am disgusted with the ethics (or lack there of) of this company. He took advantage of people at the worst time in history and profited off them. He should be ashamed of himself and try to do better in the future. There is still time to right some wrongs.

****,
We regret that your experience with our Gatsby event was a bad one. After 4 years of successfully executing this event, all 4 nights/events were wrecked in 2020 due to Covid- just 10 days before opening night- sending the events side of our business into a tailspin. We've since rebounded and got back up to speed, revisiting our Gatsby event with a successful night in July 2021, another one in April of 2023, and several other Yule Ball parties that have been wonderful. All that to say, you've been refunded per your request. Thank you.

I think this guy is in way over his head. He has borrowed thousands of dollars from me and has not repaid me. He occasionally makes a thin promise, but absolutely zero follow through.Review from Jasmine G

I been messaging ***** for the past year and a half to get my refund. He said he would refund me and I havent heard or received anything yet. Its really frustrating when you pay a lot of money and you cant get your refund.Review from Holly G

It is a shame that I am forced to give 1 star, as I truly would not even give any star if that were a possibility. I, like many others, have been scammed for MONTHS now... I bought tickets for the The Great Gatsby at the *************** party back in 2019. Due to COVID-19, the party was rescheduled numerous times over and over, which is understandable. These truly are circumstances outside anyone's control. However, when the party was relocated to the *************** and dates were changed again and again, there was the offer to keep your tickets or receive a refund. I have requested a refund since September, but ***** L***** has repeatedly lied over and over. He has continuously claimed "my refund was issued today" or "my refund is being taken care of today". However, no refund has ever arrived. When I attempt to contact ***** via email, it takes weeks to receive a response. I have only received a response when I have posted on social media, as a last attempt. Not only does my post gets removed, but I am not longer able to post on their site. I have contacted ***** 12 separate times since September. I was told my refund was issued on October 1st and then again on December 9th. I still have never received my refund. I would truly encourage every person to reconsider doing business with ***** L***** aka the Veretta Group. I am pretty sure all of our monies were used to purchase all of their new investment properties... It is a shame that ***** L****** aka the Veretta Group lack integrity and ethics. It is disgusting that he is able to operate a business.Review from Layne L

No idea how to manage money because it is starting to look like they lost thousands in ticket sales when COVID hit because they'd already dumped it in this new venue they've opened. My friend and I postponed our tickets twice before deciding the main reason we wanted to attend the event was because of the venue and now that that was changing, we wanted a refund. ***** finally replied and said he would refund the amount but asked us to pay the fee for the transaction. We said no and that was the last communication. It has been over 60 days. This is hundreds of dollars that belongs to us and the Veretta Group has just walked off with. I am having an attorney write a formal demand for our refund today because that seems to be the only way to get our money back. I understand financial loss. I ran an event company in the middle of COVID as well and we lost a ton in refunds, but if you can't afford to refund a certain percentage of revenue then you shouldn't be selling tickets in the first place.Review from Barry W

We also were told we would receive a refund for Gatsby tickets but Jason L****** has ignored all of our attempts to reach him. I will have no other choice but to file a lawsuit against him if I don't hear from him soon.
