No answer at the inn! Horror of horrors! What's going on north of Waterloo, Ontario?
Couples who had wedding plans at the Jakobstettel Inn in St. Jacobs, Ontario, Canada are suddenly scrambling to find other venues after the inn located in an old mansion closed.
Meanwhile, Waterloo Regional Police are reviewing 22 complaints about investment products offered by various businesses headed by Jakobstettel Inn's owner, Daniel P. Reeve, who also runs DPR Financial Inc. and The Millionaire in You Wealth Institute on King Street in Waterloo.
Staff Sgt. Wally Hogg of the Waterloo Regional Police fraud squad said the review is taking place to see whether a full investigation is warranted.
In a telephone interview with The Record, Reeve denied that there were any problems.
"We have hid nothing . . . we have done nothing wrong," he said.
Reeve said he fully intends to reopen the Jakobstettel Inn for business on April 21 and is training new staff.
He promised to refund money owed couples who booked weddings, but are now worried and want to cancel the bookings.
"If anybody wants to cancel, they will get their deposit back. If they want to continue on, great . . . we will honour any commitment," Reeve said.
Some couples haven't heard anything from Reeve or anyone else from Jakobstettel Inn. Others have started a Facebook group in an effort to find out what is going on.
The inn was found locked with no information on its door. The phone was unanswered and there was no answering machine picking up messages.
Reeve said if anyone has any problems or questions, they should call his assistant at 519-883-8414 or 1-866-240-6737.
