On average, professional mariachi bands cost $350-$650 an hour depending on your location, the number of band members, and their overall experience. Most mariachis can tailor the size of their band and instruments to any event, so be sure to ask about different pricing options.
Tipping musicians is a customary practice, and it’s very much appreciated by performers. As this is gratuity, the amount you tip a mariachi band is up to you to decide. However, the standard tipping etiquette is 10%-15% or $25-$50 per band member. This is generally based on their performance and their ability to accommodate your needs. It’s also important to consider the heavy equipment they require to perform at your event.
Mariachi bands are most commonly booked for 1-hour gigs, though they can often accommodate whatever performance length is required. You can choose when during the event their performance happens. Whether they will play at the start of the event to greet guests as they arrive, be the featured entertainment at a specific time during the event, or simply mingle through the crowds to stop for mini-performances.
Mariachi music represents the rich history and culture of Mexico with the festive sounds of brass and stringed instruments. It is commonly performed by a group of three or more musicians wearing traditional, intricate ensembles called charro suits.
Just like other musical genres, mariachi songs cover all kinds of topics that touch the heart. From love and sorrow to honor and victory, mariachi bands use poetic lyrics to tell age-old stories of Mexico’s people and history.
Mariachi bands customarily include the guitarron, vihuela, acoustic guitar, violin, and trumpet to create their authentic sound. Some additional instruments like the accordion or flute may be added for specific arrangements.
Mariachi bands are commonly booked for birthday parties, weddings, corporate events, quinceañeras, and a variety of other special occasions. With their lively performances and traditional costume, hire mariachi bands to add an authentic Spanish touch to any event.
