Wedding Trios
October 15, 2007
Does any one know of a great mariachi band or trio in San Diego?
I am looking for entertainment for my wedding in June and my family is of mexican heritage so I know they would enjoy a nice mariachi or trios band. I would personally enjoy a beautiful trio but I can’t seem to find any names. Help! 
First of all, congratulations! I hope your wedding rocks! 
I did some research on this right before my wedding. Here’s what I found:
Mariachi de Real in Bonita does weddings. Last I heard, they charged $60/member and had a minimum of 2 hours. The contact is Pedro Gonzalez. I know two girls that hired them, and they were very happy. You can listen to clips on their website before you decide whether or not to book them:

Also, the Chula Vista high school has a student marching band that you can hire for $300/hr. I’ve heard good things about them. I know two other girls that booked them for their weddings last year, and they were happy with the quality of the music. Here’s their contact info:

Email Mark to check on their availability on your date or for more information.
Another mariachi band is Mariachi La Barca, which charged $400/hr with a 2-hr minimum, last I heard. Here’s their website:

But I don’t know anyone that’s used them.
Another one that I’ve heard was good (but don’t know anyone that’s used them) is Mariachi Los Corporales. They don’t have a web site, but here’s their phone numbers: 619-428-6450 or 619-301-3498 (cell). Ask for Humberto Olmos.
Good luck with your wedding planning! Hope this helps…
