Mariachis, actors and piñata: the Mexican event entertainment
Imagen
Live music is the soul of the Mexican themed event. The mariachis (up to 6 musicians with instruments and vocals) can make a surprise entrance and surround the guests, playing 30-minute sets spread throughout the night.
- Classic repertoire: El Rey, Cielito lindo, Jalisco, Bésame mucho, Las mañanitas, La bamba or México lindo y querido, among many others.
- Surprise bandits: 4 actors dressed as period Mexicans (2 women and 2 men) interrupt dinner in 2 sets of 10 to 15 minutes to make the room laugh.
- Mexican entertainers: a masked wrestler and a Mexican girl entertain guests from the welcome onwards, with jokes, challenges and photos.
- Piñata: blindfolded guests try to break it with a stick, with a prize inside.

Mexican themed event dress code
Imagen
A simple dress code gets everyone into the party. Some ideas for the invitation:
- Men: charro sombrero, poncho or sarape, white shirt, neckerchief and a fake moustache.
- Women: full colourful skirts, embroidered blouses, flowers in the hair and a rebozo shawl.
- Day of the Dead version: catrina or skull make-up and flower crowns.
At the entrance we hand out props (sombreros, ponchos, moustaches and masks) for anyone who arrives without a costume, and a catrina make-up service can be added.
Catering and bar for the Mexican event
The menu can range from an informal cocktail reception to a full dinner:
- Cocktail reception: assorted tacos, nachos with guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and tortilla chips.
- Dinner: taco stations made to order and a colourful sweets table for dessert.
- Bar: micheladas, margaritas, Mexican beer and tequila drinks, with aguas frescas and soft drinks for non-drinkers.
If the client already has a caterer, we fit in the carts and the themed bar as an add-on.
How to adapt the Mexican event to each client
- Company dinner: surprise mariachis, bandits halfway through dinner and a piñata with a prize at the end.
- Birthday or private party: a mariachi serenade for the guest of honour, Las mañanitas and a photocall with props.
- Wedding: mariachis during the cocktail hour or as guests leave the ceremony, and a nacho cart at the reception.
- Town council or local festival: Day of the Dead décor to dress a stage or a square.
- Brand activation: custom photocall and carts with the client's logo.
Space, set-up and staff for the Mexican event
The set-up is light: the mariachis move between the tables without needing a stage, and the taco or nacho station needs a nearby power point and a surface to prepare and serve.
- Set-up: 2 to 4 hours depending on the décor; we install the garlands, fans and altars ourselves.
- Staff: mariachis, actors, entertainers and cart servers, depending on what is booked.
- Collection: some of the décor can be collected from and returned to our warehouse.
- Access: we need to know about stairs, goods lifts and loading times.
Around 80% of our events take place outside Barcelona: Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza or Vigo.
Day of the Dead party for corporate Halloween and Mexican weddings
Colour and tradition
A Day of the Dead party for companies is the stylish alternative to the usual Halloween: colourful skulls, decorated altars and mariachi music instead of cheap scares. Scheduled for late October, a corporate Halloween party gains identity and photos nobody else has, while keeping the fun of a costume night.
At a Mexican themed wedding, the mariachis make a surprise entrance during the drinks reception and freshly made tacos replace the usual canapés. Restaurants and venues opening their doors use it as a colourful launch party. And if you want to hire mariachis in Barcelona, Madrid or any other city as part of a complete party, we coordinate everything in a single quote.
- Corporate Halloween parties with a Day of the Dead look, skulls, altars and live mariachis.
- Mexican themed weddings with surprise mariachis at the drinks reception and tacos made on the spot.
