Overview

April 25, 2026Last-Minute Booking
I booked this mariachi band last minute for our opening reception and unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations. While I appreciate their availability on short notice, the overall sound quality was lacking, did not play that well, and they were not able to engage or energize the crowd as we had hoped. I think my sound tech said they chose not to use speakers/mics, which made it difficult for attendees to fully hear and enjoy the performance in the space. I would recommend discussing sound setup and audience engagement expectations in advance if you’re considering booking.

We were given clip mics to cover an audience of 4,000 people. This setup proved insufficient in that our instruments suffered in the sound projection. We did the same show at The Toyota Music Factory on May 5th with a great microphone setup and received a fantastic reception from our audience.

We hired Ernesto’s mariachi to play starting at the recessional at the ceremony through cocktail hour at our wedding. We received so many compliments! He was wonderful to work with and flexible with the awful weather we had that day. We would absolutely hire them again!

March 25, 2023Do not hire the mariachi
Hired them for my daughters 6th bday in Prosper. We agreed since it was a weekend and they had to travel they would send 4 mariachis for $600. We later called and asked to add another hour, given we had a large number of guests. They sounded like they had never played together. They didn’t know Las Mañanitas. We couldn’t hear the lead singer, my aunt ended up getting up and singing. The guy playing the trumpet couldn’t really play it. My husband told me hiring this mariachi was the most expensive joke I’ve played on him.
