I am a director of programs at one of the miami assisted living facilities. We planned a Cinco De Mayo party with this company. We spoke on the phone with Jemme Herrera to schedule the event. The deal was that they will play for us on May 5th at 3:30 pm for 45 mins. Our 90 and 100 year old residents were looking forward to the party, we decorated the space, bought a lot of Mexican and Latin food.. it was such a big deal for poor elderly.
In the morning Jemme confirmed that they were coming over.. yet when they arrived they told us that they have another emergency booking ( that is obviously paying more money).. so they are leaving. In the end, after begging them they agreed to sing 3 songs, which took them 10 minutes. Then they left.. they didn't care about all these old people, because someone paid them 100 dollars more last minute.
I approached Jemme to ask him for the official name of the company, so I can speak with his director and leave a review online. He lied to me, and gave me a completely wrong name. So, I decided to google his phone number.. and in the end I found this mariachi company.
Please stay away from these people if you want to have a successful fun party.
My heart was breaking seeing sad faces of our residents.. not to mention hundreds of dollars spent on food and decorations. read more
