Cancun Wedding Looking For A Photographer, Mariachi Band,fireshow

[weddingcancun2016]

I am having a destination wedding in Cancun Mexico, May 2016. Looking for a reasonable price for a photographer/ videographer, Mariachi band and a fire dancer. If anyone has a good contact person for these, please let me know.

 

I received a few quotes, but I am looking to spend around $200-300 for fire show for about 20- 25 minutes give or take just to give the guest an experience

 

For a Videographer and Photographer i would like to stay around $500 each if possible

 

and a reasonable price for a Mariachi band 

 

 

We don't have any of these individuals yet and every time we get a quote it's way over our budget. We are paying for our wedding ourselves and have spent over 3 years saving for this moment. We would love to have all these things. 

 

If you know of anyone in mexico that you would recommend please let me know. 

 

• photographer
• Videographer 
• Mariachi 
• Fire Show 

 

 

thank you again,

@@weddingcancun2016 where is your wedding taking place? I must be honest I am not sure where you can get the following in those prices.

 

 

• photographer  for elopement maybe $500 usd for 2 hours session just to give you an idea
• Videographer  I work with a number of them. I have never seen anyone charge the price for videograpeher . for how many hours do you need them?
• Mariachi Mariachi for a 45 min $350 usd 
• Fire Show also depend on how many people you have doing the show.

some tips: if your budget is tight, I would definitely cut out videographer, have you checked if one of your guests has a good eye to capture the video. so you can save on that?

weigh out what is more important and then take it from there.

 

 

Happy Planning!

@weddingcancun2016  Welcome to BDW!

 

Wow - that's a very tight budget for sure. I've been on this site for a long time and had quotes for Jamaica where we got married and for Mexico last October when we renewed our vows and I have to agree with Joyce of @dreamweddings  I've never seen rates as low as what you're looking for. You might be able to get just ceremony coverage for that amount, maybe 2 hours tops. Same with a videographer. You're looking at an awful lot more than $500. Joyce had a good suggestion - is there a family member that might be good with a video camera that could help out?

 

I don't know anything about fire dancers or mariachi bands so I'm sorry I can't be of any help with that.

 

Good luck! Keep us posted on how things go.

Ya most wedding photography packages are around $1000US and may or may not include getting ready sessions with the Birde,

Videography, although sounds wonderful, is expensive and usually doesnt turn out like you hope it would.
