They were highly recommended by the previous WC at the Mayan in PV. But there are different groups and all I know is what I've seen on their website. We are paying MX$28000 for 5 hours (5-pc versitile latin band).

I noticed that they updated their website and now offer services in Cancun. Good luck!

FYI, we contacted Enlace last year (December if I remember correctly) and booked in early this year. And we are getting married in PV, so I’m not sure if that will make a big difference.

I would love to have a live band for the reception, but I wouldn't even know how to find a good one in PV. Although, I've been to a few weddings this year and the DJ basically played from an IPOD that the bride and groom supplied, so having an Ipod that a friend or family member manages would be a good thing too.
