Perfect Wedding Reception Band - HIGHLY Recommend

Marc Hoffman & his accompanying musicians were spectacular! We found Marc through WeddingWire as while my wife is from Charlotte, it's been years since she's lived there. He frequently plays in the Charlotte area so we had a chance to "spy" on Marc by listening to his trio at a local venue prior to the wedding. We found his prices quite reasonable and Marc was able to provide a range of music, from swing/Sinatra to pop, etc. He even learned the song selected for our "first dance" only days before our wedding. A most professional band who suited our needs and venue quite well, and we would hire Marc again without hesitation.

Engagement Party Band

Marc Hoffman made the booking process and day of set-up extremely easy! Everyone absolutely loved their music! He played a mix of jazz and light pop/rock throughout the night that really made the party!

Marc Set the Perfect Atmosphere for the Party

Marc is a great musician, that's obvious, but it was his attention to what tone we wanted to set for the party that made him stand out. I've booked a lot of music over the years and Marc's willingness to make sure the night went perfectly was appreciated. Highly recommended.

Highly skilled professional!

Marc was a great choice for our event! He has a large and wide-ranging repertoire, and was very flexible in his services. He was willing and able to play specific songs that we requested, asked us follow-up questions about our event and about our requests to make sure it was just what we wanted. Marc did a wonderful job accompanying our family member who sang a song - they practiced just a few times together right before the ceremony, and Marc was able to adjust the key quickly and easily to make sure the performance was just right. We were nervous because when we asked Marc for a recording of his accompaniment so our family member could practice to it, he wasn't able to provide one of just the piano portion. But despite that hurdle, they were able to practice efficiently right before the event and it turned out great. Marc is definitely very skilled and we would recommend him to anyone wanting a pianist (with the bonus that he is also a vocalist)!

Our best wedding decision!

My husband and I hired Marc to provide live piano music and voice at our wedding reception and it was one of our most favorite details in our wedding. We love live music but were searching for an alternative to a loud band or party DJ. Marc's lovely piano and vocal talent was the perfect solution. He played so many of our most favorite songs and helped to make our reception an elegant, relaxed, and beautiful environment. Marc was so easy to work with and top-of-the-line professional --responding quickly when I reached out to him, tailoring his performance to meet our desires and requests, showing up well on time, traveling well beyond his home base, and even taking requests on the fly. We had so many guests talk about how much they enjoyed his music. We knew we were in for a treat based on his sample music and reviews, but Marc well exceeded our expectations in all areas!
