Mariachi Band and Weddings

Men, women, and children! Gather around and let’s talk about weddings! Weddings are beautiful, memorable, and very important (especially for the bride). So, why not make it a night no one will forget and hire a Mariachi band; Mariachi Alegre de Tucson to be precise. We’ll put on our best suits (especially if one matches your wedding colors) and hop on down to your reception to keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. Don’t forget, we also offer Mass services to make the whole event authentic.

So many couples rely on flashy dance stages with lasers and disco balls with pre-recorded music or some college kid claiming to be a professional DJ, but it’s time we bring back live entertainment for everyone to enjoy! Mexican guests will love the upbeat, live, dancing music while anyone unfamiliar with the culture will be intrigued and want to know more about Mariachi and their history. Anyone can (and will) enjoy our performers due to their likability, professionalism, and charisma.

All of our performers are professional and skilled with their instruments. We don’t just let anyone in on this awesome tradition. They will interact with guests but not to the point of lollygagging about or ignoring their work. They become part of the party, not just some musicians in the corner.

Those unfamiliar with the Mariachi style of music may think of the most popular songs which tend to be loud and boisterous and, to some, a little grating. This is not representative of all mariachi music. A good portion of it can be romantic, subdued, subtle, and beautiful. While we will play songs that encourage energetic dancing, there are plenty of “slow dance” songs for the first dance, general couples dances, and even the Mother-Son/Father-Daughter dances. No one needs to understand Spanish fluently (or even at all) to feel the emotions in many of these songs, making it perfect for any wedding regardless of religion, location, or heritage.

Talk to your local dance studios and ask about learning classic Mariachi dances and wow all of your guests with a fantastic first dance or a group dance featuring the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Nothing will amaze the guests and keep them talking like live music and a dance performance by their loved ones—especially if they never knew you could dance. But don’t worry, even those who have no training or two left feet can also enjoy the beautiful music styling’s of Mariachi Alegre de Tucson.

Check out this list of songs (and videos) which are popular and appropriate at weddings and if you find any you like, let us know and we’ll do our best to include it in our repertoire for your soiree.
