Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We've performed at some local festivals including the San Pancho Music Festival, Sand & Strings Music Festival, Banderas Bay Music Festival and Circo Agave. These were great opportunities to perform on a big stage and share our music with a wider audience.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love small and mid-sized weddings because you really get to connect with the audience, with the bride & groom's friends and family. There is something so special about that.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been playing music my entire life. In recent years I have performed much more than I had previously.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Tough call, but I think Van Morrison is way up at the top and Into the Mystic is a personal favorite.


Do you travel outside of Puerto Vallarta/Bahia de Banderas?

Yes! We are happy to perform at events in other parts of Mexico. We've performed across Mexico including Guadalajara, San Jose del Cabo, Zihuatanejo, San Miguel de Allende and beyond.


How do payments work?

Our preferred methods of payment are via Zelle or PayPal. We have a U.S. bank account and it’s just easier than having you bring a ton of cash with you to Mexico!


Can we request special songs?

Absolutely! Every booking includes custom song requests — we're happy to learn your special songs depending on fit and lead time.


Do you have experience with wedding planners and coordinators?

Yes! We work closely with planners and coordinators throughout the process to make sure every detail is handled smoothly. We're used to working within venue timelines and coordinating with your full vendor team.


How far in advance should we book?

Most couples book 6–12 months ahead, especially for peak season (November–April). We recommend reaching out early to reserve your date.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

For a wedding we arrive 3 or 4 hours before the ceremony starts to give us plenty of time to run sound check.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes! That's where we are the happiest in fact.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

They absolutely have a say. We always chat with them months before the wedding to plan out the right music for them and their crowd, to tell their story through music.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Here's one review: "The energy they brought was electric. They weren't just a band performing at our wedding—they were the highlight of the entire evening. Virtually every guest reached out afterward to say the music was the highlight of the night. Every generation was on the dance floor, and that is entirely because of Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station."
