The home serenade service in Mexico City works like this: you choose a genre and musician in the catalog, book a date, time, and address, pay 100% at booking with the money held in escrow, and on the day of the event you scan the musician's QR code before they play. The lowest published price in CDMX is from MX$1,500.
What Does a Home Serenade Service Include?
A home serenade is live music that comes to the address you indicate, whether a house, an apartment, an office, or a hall. On Serenattia, each musician publishes a profile with repertoire, photos, video, and rate, so you see what you are hiring before you pay. What exactly each service includes depends on the musician's package, so it is worth checking the profile for the number of songs, the service time, and the members.
What does not change is the process: you book online, with a visible price and no exclusivity, and the Serenattia team confirms the availability of each booking.
What You Can Choose
- Genre: mariachi, trio, norteño, banda, rondalla, saxophone, violin, or marimba, depending on availability.
- Date and time: whichever best suits the person and their schedule.
- Address: house, apartment, office, restaurant (with permission), or hall.
- Repertoire: songs you want to request, subject to the musician's repertoire.
- Dedication: the name and a short phrase for them to mention.
How Do You Book Step by Step?
- Go to the musician catalog and filter by CDMX.
- Choose the genre and review the profile, repertoire, photos, video, and rate.
- Book with the date, time, full address, and a contact phone number.
- Pay 100% at booking. The money is held in escrow.
- Wait for the confirmation: the Serenattia team confirms the availability of the booking.
- On the day of the event, before they play, you scan the musician's QR code. At that moment the payment is released.
If the musician does not show up, the payment is not released. Serenattia does not promise arrival times or automatic refunds, but it does offer a booking confirmed by the team and a payment protected until the event.
How Much Does a Home Serenade Cost in CDMX?
The lowest price published today by musicians on Serenattia for CDMX is from MX$1,500 (October 2026), before the 10% service fee (minimum MX$200), which is paid separately; the musician receives 100% of their rate. It is a floor: the final rate depends on the genre, the number of members, and the package. If you need an invoice, the VAT (16%) goes on top.

Each city has its own market of musicians and it is normal for prices to change from one city to another.
What Should You Consider in Mexico City?
CDMX is a big city, with long distances, variable traffic, and every kind of housing. Some practical points:
- A clear address: street, number, neighborhood, borough, and references.
- Access: in buildings, towers, or gated streets, let the front desk or management know.
- Parking: indicate where the musicians can leave their vehicle.
- A time with margin: consider traffic and avoid peak hours for travel.
- Noise rules: some buildings and neighborhoods have hours and limits.
- Coverage: not all musicians cover every borough; check their profile and confirm with the team.
If You Live in an Apartment
Weigh whether it is better to play at the door, in a hallway, on a terrace, or in the common area. Ask management for authorization and share the details with the musician. A small format, such as a trio or a violin, usually adapts better to tight spaces.
For Which Occasions Is It Requested?
- Birthdays: with "Las mañanitas" and favorite songs.
- Anniversaries and Valentine's Day: with boleros and romantic songs.
- Mother's Day and Father's Day: with the family gathered.
- Apologizing or winning someone back: with an honest dedication.
- Graduations and achievements: with a festive atmosphere.
- Surprises with no date: any ordinary day, to say "I love you."
How to Prepare the Surprise
Choose an accomplice who keeps the person at home and receives the musicians. Prepare a short dedication, a list of three to five songs, and a final keepsake, such as flowers, a cake, or a letter. If there are guests, let them know when to sing and when to stay quiet, and ask someone to record the moment. With those small steps, the serenade feels organized and natural.
What to Do If Something Unexpected Comes Up
If something changes (the person will not be home, there is rain, the venue does not allow music), let the team know as soon as possible to review the options. We cannot promise last-minute adjustments, but communicating in time always helps find a reasonable solution.
When you have everything ready, book your home serenade in CDMX.
