This review is long overdue. I was a bit disappointed, to be honest. I hired Mariachi Tulum for my Playa del Carmen wedding at Blue Venado on April 30, 2018. I had 2 main, simple requests: that they wore the classic black suit with red scarf and play Si Nos Dejan as soon as they walked in as our first dance. For one, they were about 20 minutes late and we stood around holding the reception up waiting for them to show. This may not sound like a lot, but when you're on a tight schedule, it was very nerve wrecking. At some point, I thought they weren't going to show up and thought I had been scammed. I'm thankful I was wrong. When they did show up, they were wearing bright turquoise outfits. I'm not one to let that ruin my big day, but I was pretty unimpressed by the lack of attention to detail - my husband and I really dislike bright colors, and our wedding was very neutral, so these suits were a bit disappointing. We are from Jalisco and take pride in our mariachis; anything other than the classic black charro suit is a big no-no for us. Second, because they were late, they marched right in playing El Mariachi Loco. My husband and I stood there confused, because this was supposed to be our grand entrance and first dance - we played it off and danced along, but when I realized they were quickly moving onto another fast-paced song, I had to walk over, whisper to them to play our first dance song. Essentially, they ruined our grand entrance and our first dance as husband and wife will forever be El Marichi Loco and not our favorite song. It just threw our entrance off. Lastly, we hired them to play during dinner time and requested ballads and romances only (think el tri, Armando mansanero, jose jose type songs); they played no such songs. Ultimately, they were great musicians but the lack of attention to detail was very disturbing and unprofessional. If I could do it again, I'd probably pay a little more, but get a more professional company. Sorry, guys! Great artists, poor organizers. After a few songs, I just gave up and went with the flow. Let's just say I'm glad I didn't hire them for our walking down the aisle song, God knows what we would've ended up walking to. Again, they sounded great and I don't mean to offend their artistry, but none of our specifications were met and we were left disappointed. read more
