Rates & Booking Requirements

  • Our hourly rate starts at $650 per hour.
  • We are a professional mariachi band, working with the most skilled musicians in our area.
  • Saturday bookings (2 PM – 8 PM) may require a minimum of 3–4 hours. Due to high demand, single-hour bookings during this time will be charged at a higher rate.

Service Area & Travel Fees

  • We primarily perform in Willamette Valley, Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Portland, and surrounding areas.
  • We do perform outside this region with 3-4 hour minimums; and travel costs may apply, including per diem for food, lodging, and transportation.

Performance Conditions & Space Requirements

  • Due to the sensitivity of our instruments, we cannot perform under extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, excessive heat, etc.).
  • The client must provide a warm, dry area for the band to perform.
  • The band requires a minimum 5 ft. x 8 ft. performance space.

Performance Time & Scheduling

  • Our performance time is a set time block (e.g. 2pm-4pm).
  • If your event runs behind schedule, we will try to accommodate, but please be mindful that we often have multiple events scheduled back-to-back.
  • You will be charged for the full set time regardless of event delays.

Performance Structure

  • The first set (or single-hour booking) is 60 minutes.
  • For multiple-hour bookings:
    • The first hour is 60 minutes.
    • A 10-minute break follows.
    • Each additional hour consists of a 50-minute set with a break in between.
  • Custom performance schedules can be arranged as part of the contract.

Religious Ceremonies (Weddings, Quinceañera Masses, etc.)

  • Religious ceremonies are charged as a minimum of one hour, extending up to the actual length of the ceremony.
  • If the ceremony lasts:
    • 59 minutes or less, it is rounded to one hour.
    • Over an hour (e.g., 1 hour 20 min), we will deduct the extra time from the total hours booked. If you prefer to add additional time to the contract please let us know. 
  • Most ceremonies typically last one hour.

Deposits & Payment

  • A $200 deposit is required to book. We do not hold dates/times without a deposit.
  • Deposits must be made via Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or Apple Pay and are non-refundable.
  • The remaining balance is due in cash on the day of the event, unless prior arrangements have been made.
  • Payment must be ready upon our arrival but no later than the end of the performance.
  • We often have multiple events per day, so please be mindful of our time.

Additional Considerations

  • Please provide water for the band during the performance.
  • Meals are greatly appreciated, especially for extended performances.

For any special requests or custom schedules, we are happy to discuss details before finalizing the contract.
