Looking for band in the RM?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone has found a good band that they like... Just getting started on this one, but the on-site coordinator said that although she can recommend a few different groups (guitar solo, trio, even a band) that none of them have demos for us to listen to. As I'm a bit of a music geek, I'd be more comfortable hearing a sample of the groups music before we hire them.

I think we're looking for a small group that can do salsa, merengue, and other local styles (just not mariachi!).

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Hey, thanks! They sounds really great...bit big, but certainly worth checking out.

Sorry -- I'm a little bit late to this thread blush2.gif

But I wanted to recommend the band we used for our wedding!

 

I donâ€t think they have a name... Sol Tomargo also used them for her wedding, and another vendor on here, PlayaWeddings.

Jill Kirkland and Victor Espinoza are the husband/wife team that run the band, then there are about two/three others who play in the band as well.

 

They were great! They played while people were being seated, for when I walked down the aisle, during our ceremony and during our cocktail hour, and honestly -- I think they're the only reason people stayed for our cocktail hour! :-)

(our resort's service during our cocktail hair was terrible...but Victor and Jill's music kept people happy:-))

 

And they were very reasonably priced!

For two sets (45 mins per set), it was about $550 (can't remember exactly...sorry!)

 

Best way to reach them is by e-mail:

 

mexijill@hotmail.com

vicmusic_77710@yahoo.com

 

(try e-mail both addresses...Jill is American, so will likely be the one to respond...Victor is her husband and speaks Spanish and a little English...)

 

Good luck -- and if you need any more info on the band, just ask:-)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
