Hi EVeryone,

 

   I am looking for Mariachi's and Trio's based in PV. I was told by my coordinator it would cost $750 for 45 min for a Mariachi of 8 or 9 people. I think this is too much as I am looking for additional music as well and do not want to spend a lot of money on a Mariachi for 2 or 3 hours. PLease let me know what you all have found. ANy info re: Trio's, Maricahi's and DJ's would be great. THanks everyone.

The mariachi we had was amazing. I would definitely recommend them.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. If it's not too much to ask, do you know what their prices were per hour? I thought $750 for 45 min is extremely High, They don't even charge that in San Diego. Thanks and much appreciated, your wedding looked amazing.

I believe it was $300 or $400...the $750 is crazy...its too high. Give them a call tell them Jr and Jessica sent you.

Great thanks, Yes, I know they were trying to gives us their (hotel and WC) recommendation but my fmaily is from Mexico and I know that is not the actual price, I guess it is if your are a tourist. But thanks so Much for this info. Also, do you remember how big the Mariachi was? I mean in members, we like the big Mariachi's that are 8 or 9 piece band. Thanks again for all the info.

If you really want a good mariachi I recommend them...I love the big mariachis as well. They were 12 of  them.

THanks so much for the info. I will definately look into that. HOw was your DJ? What equipment did he bring with him? DId he have light towers? Did he have good and current music from all types (english and spanish)? Did he have a back (it's like a curtain that covers his area so people don't see if your walkingbehind him)? How much does he charge per hour? I know its a lot of questions, sorry, the DJ referred to us cost $1800 for 6 hours and I thought that was expensive. Thanks again.

I will have to look at my binder when I get home so I can see the cost of the dj. I cant remember...but in regards to the type of music he played, he played current music that had everyone up and dancing all night. He had great sound, lights, overhead projector, smoke, ballons, bubbles. He was a great mc as well.
