- A traditional Latin American wedding is Catholic, and the music during the ceremony reflects this sentiment. Traditional Catholic hymns like "Ave Maria" and "Canon in D" are most common.
- Latin American wedding receptions are meant to get people moving. Songs you can dance to like the salsa, tango, flamenco, mambo, or samba are crowd pleasers at Latin American weddings.
- Latin American wedding bands range from the local Latin Jazz band to a Mariachi band. Mariachi music consists of drums, guitars, trumpets, harps, and violins. The band members typically wear either black suits laced with silver or white suits.
- Pay attention to the guitarist. The guitar figures prominently in many Latin American music arrangements, and a good guitarist is vital.
- Musicians from Northern Mexico use accordions and snare drums in musical arrangements. The music has a distinct staccato beat, and the musicians tend to dress in blue satin with white frilly shirts and cowboy boots.
