Mariachi & Latin Bands in Kent

Book a mariachi or Latin band in Kent

Mariachi and Latin bands are some of the most visual acts you can book. In Kent, they're a favourite for fiesta-themed parties, Cinco de Mayo nights, barbecues, festival slots and corporate events, with musicians who play among the guests as easily as they play on stage.

Popular event venues in Kent include Port Lympne, Goodnestone Park and St Julian's Club, and our mariachi and Latin acts play events across Canterbury, Sevenoaks and Ashford. Tell us your venue and the kind of atmosphere you want when you enquire and we'll suggest acts that suit both.

Within this category you'll find mariachi bands, salsa and Cuban groups, Brazilian samba and bossa nova acts, Latin jazz ensembles and Latin party bands that mix in chart hits. Many can switch from a gentle background set to a full dance set later in the evening, and their song lists show exactly what they cover.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every Latin act on this page covers Kent. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings what it needs to be heard, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: from around £500 for a smaller act to £2,500 or more for a larger band, depending on line-up, date and set times
  • Mariachi, salsa, Cuban, samba, bossa nova and Latin party acts
  • Strolling sets for drinks receptions and stage sets for dancing
  • Travel is included in every quote
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the atmosphere you want. A Mexican-themed party or a lively drinks reception suits a mariachi band; a night of dancing suits a salsa or Latin party band; a relaxed dinner or garden party suits a bossa nova duo or trio. Many acts come in several sizes, from a small strolling line-up to a full stage band.

Expect to pay from around £500 for a smaller act up to £2,500 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and extras such as a strolling set followed by a dance set. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

Each Latin act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how a band gets a crowd moving than any description can.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

The category covers traditional mariachi groups, salsa and Cuban bands, Brazilian samba and bossa nova acts, Latin jazz ensembles and Latin party bands that also play chart hits. Each act's page shows its style, line-up and song list.

Yes, that's what mariachi does best. Most mariachi groups play acoustically, so they can move between tables or around a garden during a drinks reception, a meal or a fun day. Check the act's page or ask us when you enquire.

Most do. Mariachi groups usually perform in charro suits and sombreros, and many salsa and Latin party bands have their own stage outfits. The photos and videos on each act's page show exactly what to expect.

Most do. Stage and dance bands bring their own PA; acoustic and strolling acts may need nothing at all. Larger line-ups need floor space and power nearby, so it's worth checking both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £500 for a smaller act to £2,500 or more for a larger band. The number of musicians, the date and the length of the booking make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

Yes. Many couples book a mariachi group or a bossa nova trio for the drinks reception, then a salsa or Latin party band for the evening. Some acts can cover both, and we can suggest combinations when you enquire.
