Mariachi Hidalgo N.Y.C 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Stone Harbor, NJ

Mariachi Hidalgo was founded in 2017 and is led by our Musical Director Hernan Hidalgo Treviño who is a first-generation musician within his family. At the age of 21, Hernan is New York City’s, as well as the East Coast’s, 1st ever “Youngest Musical Director of a Mariachi Band”. Hernan graduated from the CUNY of Hunter College as a Music and History major to better prepare himself for both the musical and culture of mariachi. Within the first 2 years, Mariachi Hidalgo has performed in some of New York's exclusive places. Hernan's main goal is to inspire and motivate other youths to continue this musical tradition of mariachi.

My name is Kiyoko Nakamura, my husband is Mexican American, and I am Japanese. We celebrated our 15-year Anniversary here in New York City on December 18th, 2021. (We are from California) I wanted to surprise my husband with a Mariachi Band (he loves Mariachi) that offered quality in service and performance. I have a M.M from Kyoto University for Music & Art, and I fully understand what I was looking for in a Mariachi band. I investigated each Mariachi band here in NYC, their quality as musicians, social media, reviews etc. Many mariachi bands stated, "they are the best" or "Number 1 in NEW YORK CITY", but I can assure you all from looking at their YouTube performances & social medias that they are NOT. A few did play back, had a CD recording of an actual PROFESSIONAL band in the background while these so called "Best in NYC" made it seem as if it was them performing, FALSE advertisement. Once I saw Mariachi Hidalgo NYC, directed person with a B.A in Music & History. (Having a degree in any accredited field is one way to ensure the person knows what they are offering.) I investigated everything about this ensemble before contacting. YouTube , Instagram, all their social medias in order to understand whom I was calling. After checking out everything, proper technique on their instruments and vocals, no play back, presentable, quality musicians. I knew this band was going to be AMAZING! From the moment I called to book them until the performance's date this is what I received. A very professional service to not just me but my husband and guests as well. Very detailed in terms of explaining the full booking process, punctual, proper technique on their instruments & voice, an amazing show that interacts with the crowd. This band had it all! Everyone loved it! Visual Aspect:/ Performance Technical playing, clean suits, well groomed, presentable. 100/100 If you are looking for a mediocre or an economical option or a group to just make noise regardless of how they sound. Then I would not recommend this band for your event. If, however, you are looking for a PROFESSIONAL band to make your special moments even more memorial. Then YES, I recommend this band too you, Mariachi Hidalgo NYC! You will not be disappointed. Overall: Quality, Punctual, Presentable, Professional, Show/Performance, Amazing service from start to finish. If we ever visit New York City again, we will definitely contract Mariachi Hidalgo again for all of our events. Best Regards, Kiyoko Nakamura Master's in Music, Kyoto University for Music & Art

Have about 200 people showing up to your reception and want to guarantee that everyone from your aunts and uncles to your most particular friend all send you texts about how perfect your wedding band was? Great, you're done with your search. We worked with The Hook Club on an ambitious two-day wedding, which included them doing live sound for our Friday welcome party, live sound for the music at our ceremony, some deep cut requests, and our desire to not just have "another wedding band." What we got was an incredibly talented, creative, and kind group of people who were ready to make whatever we wanted happen, ready to add ideas and layers, and who then completely blew away our expectations. We're in that era of our lives where we've been to about 100 weddings in the last 10 years, and we can honestly say that no band has even come close to The Hook Club. A year later everyone is still talking about how great our band was. They are true professionals in every sense of the word, and you should seriously consider booking your venue around whether or not THC is available. That's not hyperbole - they were that good.

Justin was lovely to work with from the start. He was booked for another wedding, but he paired us up with Rob, an associate DJ of his. Both Rob and Justin were so so fun to work with. Rob took the time to text or set up whatever zoom calls we felt we needed. For the actual day, Rob was amazing. We had dinner service, reception, and "after party". Robs killed it with his flow between songs, and was incredibly accommodating and flexible if we had any requests in the moment, and was able to dodge or handle any "questionable" song requests that came his way. We knew that he always put my husband and I's wishes first. We also had multiple people comment on how good the DJ was during the reception, and after the fact! He also went above and beyond to pull heroics the day of to get some of our DIY spot lighting set up that wasn't set up the night prior. Rob was incredible to work with, and just as fun to chat with. Will miss working with them, but absolutely will be following their journeys and would use them again in a heartbeat! So thankful for Justin and Rob!

Let's be honest picking a musician to sing your hand selected song that means so much to you on your wedding day can be a feat. Picking Erica was the best decision and hearing her in person at my wedding was even more amazing than I was even ready for. All my guests thought we had a recording playing until they saw her playing with her guitar. Not only is her voice amazing but she is the absolutely sweetest human and if you have any doubts about who to pick for your wedding day music Erica is without a doubt the best option.

We knew going into wedding planning that the DJ we chose would be the party. We did not chose wrong. Josh was so easy to work with the entire time. He was always quick to answer any questions or concerns we had. His timing was perfect. He did a fantastic job with great energy and ease announcing things throughout our wedding.

Gerard was amazing to work with. He was extremly easy to work with, always available and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The quality of his work and value he provided was simply the best - he was cooperative, spontaneous, and very flexible.

DJ Fish is hands down the best. Leading up to our wedding Dave came to all of our virtual calls so prepared and helped guide us through the entire process. He was always available and definitely helped to take some of the stress out of the planning process. We were worried that our intimate wedding of about 75 people might not feel like a party but that was not the case at all! Dave had just about everyone up on the dance floor. He is truly the best at what he does and did so many fun things throughout the reception that made it even more memorable. He also owns his own Photo Booth which we decided to add on when we were about a month out and so happy we did! He sent us a Dropbox link with all of the Photo Booth pictures from the night which was great. Highly recommend! He was truly a pleasure to work with and we only wish we could party with him every weekend!

I highly recommend Electrified DJ Services if you are looking for a professional and energized DJ service. They go beyond the regular duties of a DJ to make your event (wedding, in my case) flow smoothly! There was an issue with the venue during my wedding, and we had to alter our timelines by over an hour. Ernest was so professional and helped to find a solution to this problem so my husband and I, as well as our friends and family, could enjoy our evening. The MC (Marlowe) kept the reception perfectly paced (even after the end of the event was moved up) without making my husband and me feel rushed or stressed. In addition, they did a spectacular job at choosing music that kept all our guests (of all ages) on the dance floor and having a wonderful time. I could not have asked for a better DJ and MC for my wedding reception. I would recommend Electrified DJ Services to anyone who wants a fantastic, fun, professional DJ service that goes out of its way to make your event (whatever it may be) a tremendous success!

Hiring Mike as our wedding DJ was one of the best decisions we made!! From our first meeting, Mike was professional and friendly, providing us with a lot of information and answering all of our questions. After we booked with him, he set up an easy-to-use app for us to select our songs, write notes about the reception, and communicate any special instructions. It helped us keep track of what to prepare and how to plan the timeline of our day since we didn't have a wedding planner. Mike also came to an in person meeting with our venue so he could be prepared for the wedding day, and he was completely set up and ready when we arrived for cocktail hour and dinner. The wedding day could not have gone better: not only was Mike on point with all the music choices we made, he created an excellent vibe for our guests. We had a lot of families with young adults and older parents, and Mike played music that appealed to both crowds. His emcee skills are excellent, and he was flexible with a few adjustments to the timeline throughout the night. Mike’s son JC worked our photobooth, and he was just as professional and friendly. His upbeat attitude and excitement for the day was well appreciated, and all of our guests were happy with their photobooth experiences. If you want a smooth, efficient wedding day with top tier vibes, Mike is the guy to hire!!

Cheers!

The Showmance Band, a jazz ensemble with a penchant for covering a wide variety of music from the 1920s and Gatsby-themed tunes, recently graced the stage at a wedding event held at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey. As a vendor at the event, I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing firsthand the immense talent and showmanship of this exceptional band. It was clear from the outset that the Showmance Band had the crowd at their fingertips, as women were grabbing their husbands to dance and people were soaked in sweat from the sheer joy of dancing to the group's infectious rhythms. With their world-class musicianship, impeccable attire, and undeniable physical attractiveness, the players exuded an effortless cool that left the audience enraptured. What impressed me most about the Showmance Band, however, was the remarkable cohesion and tightness of their performance. They were clearly a well-oiled machine, each member contributing their unique musical voice to create a seamless, electrifying whole. This level of musicianship can only be achieved through years of dedicated practice and a deep understanding of one another's strengths and weaknesses. At the heart of this incredible ensemble is the band leader JB, whose spectacular performance was truly a sight to behold. With his captivating presence and dynamic energy, he commanded the stage with a confidence and grace that is the hallmark of a true musical master. In my years of attending live performances, I have never encountered a more exceptional and engaging live performer. In short, the Showmance Band is a jazz ensemble that represents the very pinnacle of musical excellence. Their performance at the Legacy Castle in New Jersey was nothing short of awe-inspiring, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking an unforgettable musical experience.
