Mariachi & Latin Bands in Manchester

Mariachi, salsa and Latin party bands for events in Manchester

If you want an event that feels like a summer holiday, a Latin band is a good place to start. Acts across Manchester play Mexican mariachi, Cuban and salsa sets, Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and Latin-flavoured party covers, and they're booked for private parties, weddings and corporate events alike.

Popular event venues in Manchester include The Whitworth, Victoria Baths and Ordsall Hall, and our mariachi and Latin acts play events across Salford Quays, Altrincham and Stockport. 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 Manchester. 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

Mariachi groups and smaller Latin line-ups often play acoustically while moving among guests, which is ideal for receptions, garden parties and fun days. For a dance floor later in the evening, a salsa or Latin party band on a stage with its own PA does the job better. Many acts can do both at the same event.

A trio or four-piece typically starts from around £500, while a larger salsa or mariachi band for a full evening can reach £2,500 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
