Looking for band in the RM?

Can you tell me approximately how much La Mata cost? Thanks.

Simistar,

 

What type of music did the band play? I am looking for something fun and upbeat during a cocktail hour. Do they have a song list? THanks!

Yikes... you know what...I don't really remember!:-)
We just told them to play whatever they wanted... I mean, we gave them some specific songs to play during the ceremony (walking down the aisle, etc)...but we weren't really too concerned with what they played as long as guests enjoyed it...
I know...that's not very helpful, sorry

I will say -- all our guests raved about the band later...

You could try e-mailing the [email protected] address (Jill is American so can read/speak English :-)) and ask her for a song list...?
My guess is she'll just ask you what songs you want and then they'll play them... they seemed very easy going that way...

I should warn you though...sometimes it takes a couple days to hear back...she's kind of on "Mexican time"...but not as bad as the resort WCs seem to be, lol:-)

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful... that day was such a whirlwind I just can't seem to remember the music :-)

I just checked with Kiko and Carlos band and they are over $900 per hour! Plus they have a 2 hour minimum. I'm sure they are great and well worth the cost but I just cannot afford that since I am also having a huge at home reception. Bummer.

Anyone got info on booking a mariachi band for a wedding ceremony? I tried to contact Ajua Weddings but they won't help unless they are planning the whole wedding.

Still looking with no luck

We just booked Kiko & Carlos for our wedding...dont use our name as we havent paid yet or signed the contract, but I would say they are slightly flexible on the price...but not the 2 hour min

 

On that note they want the full payment up front...for anyone that used them before is that the normal practice...I told them I am happy to wire them the 1/2 up front that they requested, but would like to pay the other half day off....thoughts? I feel as though they are annoyed by this. The WC told me it was common to pay upfront in mexico...ohhh that makes me nervous

One more I'd like to throw on this thread - .:Adagio Cancn:.

 

They literally have a band for every style you can possibly think of and if they don't have what you're looking for, they will come up with it. Very professional, very talented.

Hello,

 

I just booked LaMATA band and I'm very excited. I haven't seen any reviews on them but I'll be sure to post it after my wedding. I'm getting married 10/10/10!!! From their samples and videos they sound amazing. They're the band that play at Senor Frog so they have to be good!!!

Balance definitively the bes tband on the RM - we always use them for our clients
