MMM would love to be a part of your special day. We guarantee a rockin' dance floor and a great time. We play a huge variety of music and will custom tailor the play list to your liking including learning any and all requests you have that we may or may not already know. We take pride in this aspect and it's one in which many bands gloss over--not us. We are a group of true professionals that greatly enjoy what we are doing, which translates greatly to the crowd and should not be underestimated! We play together all the time in this and other ensembles and seamlessly go from one genre to another on the dime by reading the crowd and making sure everyone is dancing and having fun all night!
At the time we were planning our wedding, there were no showcases due to COVID. We found Mitch Marcus Music online and chose them based on YouTube videos, promotional videos, and a plethora of positive online reviews. Despite all the favorable reviews, I was a little nervous about how they would sound live. Turns out, the amazing reviews were accurate. Mitch and his band (we had six musicians and one sound engineer) were awesome. They even learned to play my favorite song, Motownphilly. The band was energetic, the music was on point, and the vocalists were phenomenal. They also had the sound of a much larger band, as many of the musicians sing as well. Everyone danced and had fun. Hire these guys. You won't be disappointed.

We take pride in this aspect and it's one in which many bands gloss over--not us.

We play together all the time in this and other ensembles and seamlessly go from one genre to another on the dime by reading the crowd and making sure everyone is dancing all night, most importantly you.....the bride and groom! We are happy to work within anyone's budget and will always do our best to make sure that happens. As a standard part of our package we provide our wonderful sound engineer who really plays an important role in making sure every room we play sounds perfect.
Our singers are as good as it gets and versatile too as are our musicians. Our 6 piece band is comprised of two awesome singers/ MC’s up front, guitar (Backing Vocals), bass (Backing Vocals),
keyboards/saxophone (Backing Vocals), and drums. On top of that we can also easily add our horn section if budget allows and/or any other instrumentation you're looking for. Having said that, we can also go out with our "core" 4 piece or 5 piece as well if that best suits the space and budget.
We'd love to play for you and would be honored to be a part of this incredible day with you and your special guests.
Whatever your needs may be for your event, Mitch Marcus Music can provide the perfect band. Mitch Marcus Music is equally adept at playing straight ahead jazz, classical, classic rock, motown, top-40, country, standards, disco, jam-band, funk, Klezmer, Italian, you name it! Happy to work within anyone’s budget, and will be as flexible as possible with regards to costs. From solo piano, to string quartet, to 10 piece rock band, even an 18 piece big band, and everything in between, we will make sure your event sparkles. All the musicians Mitch works with are top notch and therefore in high demand in the NYC area and beyond so booking Mitch Marcus Music in advance is highly recommended. All the groups come standard with a sound engineer to customize the groups’ sound to each event’s needs. MMM is fully licensed with Liability Insurance to play any and all of the New York City Hotels
