Complaint Review: JLive Entertainment

Joey Perez J Live Entertainment cancelled services four days before for his scheduled service. I am requesting a full refund of $350.00 I am filing a complaint against Joey Perez of J Live Entertainment for not fulfilling his agreement to be the announcer at the Battle of the Badges weigh in April 18, 2014 and event April 19, 2014 being held at the Hanford Civic Auditorium. When I met with Joey Perez in November 2013 to hire him for the Battle of the Badges event he said he was available to do the event. Joey Perez's services were $600.00 dollars to announce and DJ the weigh in and the event. Joey Perez pushed real hard for a deposit of $350.00 dollars and ever since I paid him he hasn't returned my emails, text messages, phone calls and canceled meetings. After emailing him I was going to cancel his services he immediately called me and said he has been busy and there is nothing to worry about, he will be announcing the weigh in and event. Joey Perez told me he would promote the event on his website, look into possible sponsorship and we could use his ring card girls. He never followed through with anything. On Monday April 14, 2014 the week of the event Joey Perez sent me an email stating that he would not be able to fulfill his contract obligation and would not be announcing the event and his brother would be filling in for him as the announcer. At that time I immediately canceled his services and requested a refund of my deposit. Joey Perez has been very unprofessional from the beginning. With Joey Perez last minute cancellation he left me with three days to find a new announcer and DJ. I was fortunate enough to find an announcer for $500 dollars due to the short notice. I tried to resolve the issue with Joey Perez and the only thing he offered was a credit to use him for a future event. I will never use him again. I have put on more than 20 events and Joey Perez is by far the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. Tom G. (((REDACTED)))
