(One of our [top 5](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/5-themes-for-summer-2018) themes for summer 2018!) To complete the theme, she booked [Grupo Warachando](https://www.gigmasters.com/latin-band/grupowarachando1) to play Cuban music and shared her story with us!  "I threw a surprise 50th Birthday party for my husband on a yacht in NYC.  Our party had a Havana Nights theme and I used GigMasters to find a band to play Cuban music for my party.  I hired Grupo Warachando.  They did a fantastic job! They were responsive to me and made sure that all of the final details were communicated in advance of the event. The main contact Rusty was nice and cordial all of the time!"   ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/betterson-birthday-38.jpg?width=300&name=betterson-birthday-38.jpg)    "On party day, Grupo Warachando were on time and the music was great. They had the whole yacht on their feet! It was awesome. They also dressed the part with matching guayaberas and everything. It was fantastic. I want to have another party just so I can hire them again."   ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/betterson-birthday-511.jpg?width=300&name=betterson-birthday-511.jpg)        Cynthia left Grupo Warachando a 5 star review on GigMasters, check it out [here](https://www.gigmasters.com/latin-band/grupowarachando1). Thanks for sharing your story with us, Cynthia!           ![betterson-birthday-447](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/betterson-birthday-447.jpg?width=300&name=betterson-birthday-447.jpg)   If you have an event spotlight that you would like to be featured, make sure to [send](mailto:marketing@gigmasters.com) it to us, and tag us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/gigmasters)!       #ThePartyStartsHere Topics: [Real Events](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/topic/real-events)   Blog Search ### blog sections - [Booking Tips (3)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/booking-tips) - [Event News (1)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/event-news) - [Gig Life (1)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/gig-life) - [Meet Our Members (2)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/meet-our-members) - [Party Inspiration (33)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/party-inspiration) - [Party Themes (3)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/party-themes) - [Real Events (40)](https://itg.thebash.com/thepartystartshere/tag/real-events) ### more info - [GigMasters Guarantee](https://www.gigmasters.com/guarantee) - [Event Expert](https://www.gigmasters.com/event-expert) - [GigKids](https://www.gigmasters.com/gigkids) - [Contact Us](https://www.gigmasters.com/contact) - [About Us](https://www.gigmasters.com/about) ### follow us  - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/gigmasters/) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GigMasters) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/gigmasters/) - [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/gigmasters/) ### don't miss updates YOUR EVERY EVENT MARKETPLACE COMPANY [ABOUT](https://www.gigmasters.com/about) [BRAND SPOTLIGHT](https://www.gigmasters.com/press-center) [CAREERS AT XO](http://xogroupinc.com/xo-group-careers/) SUPPORT [CONTACT US](https://www.gigmasters.com/contact) [EVENT INSPIRATION](https://www.gigmasters.com/events) [FAQs](https://www.gigmasters.com/help) PEACE OF MIND [GIGMASTERS GUARANTEE](https://www.gigmasters.com/guarantee) [BBB ACCREDITED](http://www.bbb.org/connecticut/business-reviews/entertainers/gigmasters-com-inc-in-norwalk-ct-87004338/) [MCAFFEE SECURE](https://www.mcafeesecure.com/verify?host=www.gigmasters.com) [USER AGREEMENT](https://www.gigmasters.com/user-agreement) [PRIVACY POLICY](https://www.gigmasters.com/privacy) Copyright © 2017 GigMasters, Inc.
