“We hired Charlie Higgins and Sunset Station to play at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception last weekend. The music was the highlight of our wedding, no questions asked. My guests were obsessed with Charlie & Stevie and they complimented us on our band choice all night. Charlie & Stevie had everyone dancing until the very last minute and the horns were incredible (definitely worth every penny if you’re debating getting them). I communicated with Charlie exclusively throughout the planning process and he was incredibly patient and easy to work with, even when I was not the best at responding to emails. They learned 3 songs for our first dances which was really the cherry on top of an incredible experience. 10/10 would use them again and again for future events. Do yourself a favor and hire Charlie Higgins and Sunset Station!!!”

“We hired Charlie and the band for our wedding at the St. Regis Punta Mita. Charlie was very responsive during the planning stages and accommodating on our set list and special songs. The band absolutely rocks and had every guest dancing at our reception. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the band was. We are so happy we hired them for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone!!!”

“We hired Charlie Higgins and Sunset Station to play at our wedding last weekend and this was easily one of the best decisions we made! Charlie personalized the performance to fit exactly the vision my partner and I were going for. They were so flexible and played a sentimental song for us as our first dance song and even brought in a fiddle player from Mexico City to make the performance that much more incredible. All of our wedding guests were on the dance floor all night long and all agreed that this was their favorite part of the night! Would highly recommend hiring them, they made our wedding night one to remember!”

“Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station helped create the wedding of our dreams in Lo De Marcos at Hacienda Antigua. They are incredibly professional, organized, communicative and not to mention incredibly talented at what they do. They tailored our wedding exactly to how we envisioned and even allowed us to pick songs for them to learn prior to our wedding. Not only are they talented but they are an amazing group of people who instantly feel like friends when you meet them. They had no problem getting the dance floor going and continuing through out the evening! They are an absolute must when having a wedding or special event in this area!

-Morgan Melcher (Michigan, U.S.A.)

“Hands down the best band in Puerto Vallarta, and also one of the best bands we’ve ever heard! My husband and I listen to their music every night. We had them play for our wedding at Barceló, and they absolutely made our wedding night. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about them being the best wedding band, and all of the guests at the resort have been thanking us for making their night as well! They aren’t your typical band that parties (though they make the party!) Charlie and his band are professional, beyond easy to communicate with quickly, show up very early to make sure everything is perfect and the sound is spot on - super important for a beach wedding/waves. Can’t say enough! They are the best and the nicest people ever on top of it!”

-Lynsey & Dave (Minnesota, U.S.A.)

“We asked for a specific song to be played for our first dance. Not only did they learn it well, they played it acoustically!! We also had a freak medical accident happen at the reception that caused us to halt the music. So instead of the band ending until our initial agreed upon time, they played out the time that was missed. Charlie can freaking jam too! 10/10 highly recommended.”

-Brad (Denver, Colorado, U.S.A.)

“Charlie and Stevie Ward played at our vow renewal in Punta Esmeralda just last week. What a memorable event it was! Charlie and Stevie added such a magical vibe to our event that we won't soon forget! To top it off, the last song of the night was the same song from our wedding 11 years ago! They played it just as we were to watch fireworks by the ocean! I have no words, honestly. Truly amazing! Thank you both, from the bottom of our hearts!”

-Jamie & Yana (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

“Charlie, Stevie and the Band were fantastic. They had us dancing the entire night. They were so entertaining and fun. All our guests raved about them for weeks. We loved how they learned a few songs for our special day and nailed them. I couldn’t recommend them more. They were the highlight of the reception!!!”

-Lauren (California, U.S.A.)

“Charlie provided the best experience from day 1. He was very communicative and was the absolute best choice for our wedding band. He catered to music that fit an older and younger crowd and was even able to trouble shoot electrical issues we had the day of. I never even realized the big problems they had because they so effortlessly solved them. Very professional, very fun, amazing sound!! Can’t wait to have another event to be able to contract him again. Thank you Charlie and band for the best night of our lives!! Can’t wait to see you again around town at some of your other events!!”

-Maryanne M. (San Diego, California, U.S.A.)

“Wow wow wow. Can’t put it in words. Charlie and his band are fantastic! Not just the world class party we had the night of the wedding. He was very responsive with us and worked on a few extra songs for the wedding. Best band in all of Mexico.

-Brent (Texas, U.S.A.)

“From the time we reached out to book with Charlie and the band, the responsiveness and clear communication was unparalleled. Charlie set clear expectations and offered great feedback to help us plan for the wedding ceremony and reception. Charlie's musical taste and music selection absolutely blew us away. He provided a wide range of songs to select from as well as songs they were willing to learn depending on our preference. Charlie provided acoustic ceremony music for us and knocked it out of the park. The reception performance was nothing short of perfect. Charlie and the band played all of our favorite predetermined songs and then some. The entire wedding party was blown away and were raving about how well the band did. We consider the band to be an integral part of any wedding celebration and could not be more pleased with what they delivered on our special day. I give them a 10/10 review and would unequivocally recommend Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station to play at any event. Still can't comprehend how much we enjoyed having them. Cheers!”

-Cameron & Austin (Dallas, TX, U.S.A.)

“We hired Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station for our wedding in Puerto Vallarta, and we feel SO lucky to have found them!! From day one, Charlie was extremely professional, and was so wonderful to communicate with. The energy of the band was outstanding, and every one of our guests were RAVING about them the entire weekend! They truly made our night so memorable, and magical, and we can't wait until the next time we are in PV to see them play again. We could not recommend this band more!!”

-Maddy S. (Dallas TX, U.S.A.)

“We absolutely LOVED having Charlie and the entire Sunset Station crew perform at our rehearsal dinner at Frente al Punto in Sayulita. The guests had nothing but incredible feedback - the band was professional, charismatic and the life of the party! We shared the most special dance under the beautiful Frente lights to Beyond and Charlie even connected with the father of the groom about his band! I highly recommend them for any and all of your special event needs and if you aren't able to book them, then definitely make sure to check out one of their shows!”

-Sydney L. (Texas, U.S.A.)

“We couldn’t be happier with their performance. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They totally made the atmosphere of our reception, and it was one heck of a party. They had everyone , of all ages, out on the dance floor. Everyone was blown away, and couldn’t believe we were able to find such an amazing local band! My only regret is not having them play longer. Charlie was very flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. Would highly recommend to anyone considering them for a private event.”

-Jillian (Houston, Texas, U.S.A.)

“I randomly came across Charlie Higgins & Sunset Station’s cover of Fleetwood Mac dreams on my Instagram a few months before my Sayulita villa wedding and was instantly mesmerized. I checked out some of their other videos on YouTube and really dug their sound. Their female lead singer, Hannah, has an amazing voice and coupled with Charlie’s talent puts on an incredible show. My husband and I are huge indie/classic rock fans and loved the playlist Charlie helped us assemble. We also included a few of his hits from his EP and loved how it turned out. We really appreciated how Charlie personalized “Home” for our first dance. Their price is higher than a DJ or maybe some local bands (we had a Norteño band also play) but the quality and professionalism of Charlie and his bandmates made for a great value. It was also nice to find someone who was easy to work with, and show up when they said they would!”

-Rebecca M. (San Francisco, U.S.A.)

“We had Charlie play at our rental house for my 30th birthday and it was the highlight of our trip. Such a talented band, fantastic people to be around and the music had everyone dancing and singing along. Would absolutely have them play for us again.”

-Brad B. (Vancouver, Canada)

“Charlie Higgins and Sunset Station are an amazing band. They played a great mix of songs that kept our sixty person wedding up and dancing the whole night. Not just that, they just sound amazing. Every song was so well done. Aside from the five piece band that played the reception, Charlie was also kind enough to play an acoustic set during the ceremony. He even learned three songs for the occasion and did them beautifully. Then there was a trio for the cocktail reception. Again, incredible. Charlie’s rendition of Van Morrison’s “Sweet Thing” is something everyone should hear once in their life.”

-Dave C. (San Francisco, U.S.A.)

“Charlie Higgins & Sunset station played for my wife's 40th birthday and they were incredible. So much fun, very talented, and so easy to work with. Cannot recommend enough!”

-John L. (Sayulita, Mexico)

“Charlie & Sunset Station played our wedding celebration party in Sayulita in Jan 2022. We saw them perform a year earlier and just knew we wanted them to be the ones to help bring all our people together. Their range of music was a perfect mix for our party and we love continuing to watch them play in/around the area. You and your guests will not be disappointed!! Thank you Sunset Station and, we love our T-Shirts & rock them often.”
