Planning a wedding is hard enough. What happens when the people you trust take your money and don't deliver? It happened to dozens of brides from around the country. We looked into the company responsible.

More than 50 couples from all over the country paid to get married at a gorgeous mansion in Las Vegas. But when the company suddenly shut down, they were left in the cold. What's worse, the owners used the business account to fund personal luxury expenses.

Griffin Mansions, a sprawling estate nestled in the Las Vegas desert that is gorgeous from the air and even more stunning inside, billed itself as the destination for your dream wedding. Bride- and groom-to-be Deniz and Edward were hooked. "Everything was so elegant, beautiful, exactly what I envisioned for us," Deniz Mizzoni told us. "The fairy-tale wedding."

They say they paid more than $20,000 for the all-inclusive package, from food to flowers to the photographer. It's a family business, run by husband and wife Anthony Lopez and Portia Latawiec. She even appears in the ads.

But just 10 days before the big day, a bombshell: "They called to inform me that they (would) not be having my wedding in a week," Deniz told us. "And it was 11 minutes after I made the final payment."

The owners offered to move her wedding to a replacement location that she says was a joke. Twenty grand gone ... and she says they refused to give her a refund.

In fact, there were 53 couples from 12 different states who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, their dream weddings turning into nightmares. "It was really heartbreaking," Stefani Lara told us.

"I literally just had a breakdown," said Stephanie Perez.
