Mariachi

I am debating having a Mariachi group play for an hour at my wedding during dinner. I am half Mexican so this would really honor my heritage. My grandpa was also a singer in a tejano band back in the 70s and a few years ago at my cousins wedding he actually got up to sing with the mariachi group....
I am debating having a Mariachi group play for an hour at my wedding during dinner. I am half Mexican so this would really honor my heritage. My grandpa was also a singer in a tejano band back in the 70s and a few years ago at my cousins wedding he actually got up to sing with the mariachi group. You might be wondering why I am questioning this but basically I’m not sure if it goes with the theme and if this will shock the out of town guests. My fiancé is from New Jersey and I currently live up here so many of our guests will be traveling to our Texas wedding. I don’t want to shock them by adding too many different things. In terms of the theme it’s really romantic and fairytale like and we won’t be serving Mexican food. We did hire a dj for the rest of the ceremony but I like the thought of surprising my guests if you think this would be enjoyable. Let me know your thoughts.

    I like mariachi and since I grew up with it, I have a hard time understanding why people would find it shocking. However, I have had people feel a little out of place with it... Not sure if I'm using the correct words, but since people don't speak Spanish, they don't understand the meaning behind the songs and they find it meh...
    So, I would say have it but not as a main act but as a side thing for example during cocktail hour, so some people can chat if they don't care about it.

    I personally wouldn't care if it didn't go with the theme, I LOVE a good mariachi band!

    We are wanting one as well. But I was just quoted $1,600.00 for two hours. I feel that is pretty high.
