    50th B-day Bash

    At the end of the evening....guests screaming "BEST BAND EVER"!!! Took us straight back to the 80's. Mitch knows SOOOO many songs...and all were done to perfection. Had the crowd rocking all night. Truly incredible, masterful arrangement to pump up the group, played special songs we requested, the vocalist - she was off the chart!!! Multiple professional musicians in the party...all thoroughly impressed at how tight Mitch's' band is and how good they sounded. A must, we'd have them again tonight, and then again...

    Great band for our wedding!

    We decided early that we wanted live music at our wedding, and thankfully we found Mitch and it was smooth sailing from there! Throughout the year of planning he was available every time we reached out with questions and he was always super helpful and laid back and professional. We didn’t worry once! Our guests raved about how great the band sounded and there was never an empty dance floor throughout the night! They also perfectly engineered the sound so that they were loud enough to fill the room and make it a party, but not so loud that everyone was screaming or going to break an eardrum the whole night. Overall, A+++ for talent, service, and professionalism!! Mitch and his band will not disappoint!!

    Congrats! You've found Mitch

    Our wedding had a music festival theme and so nailing the headlining act for the big day was paramount. Looked at dozens of other potential, more traditional or bigger brand wedding bands as well as a couple national touring acts before finding Mitch Marcus' name through online word of mouth, and so grateful that we did. We were interested in something less traditional, eclectic, and when he sent us a massive word document of music they could play I knew we found the guy. He will assemble a group of his professional musician friends to match the vibe you are going for as well as your budget. For us this was a 9 piece band with full horns and...

    You need to book Mitch

    I cannot possibly recommend Mitch any more! Mitch and his band were all absolute top notch musicians and performers. Mitch communicated constantly leading up to the wedding to make sure that the setlist would fit the vibe we were looking for, which was very appreciated. We had some requests off the beaten path which they were more than happy to oblige, and still were able to deliver the hits that kept the people happy and dancing. We had countless people tell us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding and that it was a full on concert experience. Don’t look elsewhere, this is the band you want for your wedding.

    A Hidden and Under the Radar Gem

    Searching for the perfect wedding band and don’t want to deal with the big brand labels? Mitch Marcus is for you. We found Mitch through a family member’s recommendation and from our initial interactions through wedding day it was a completely enjoyable and professional experience. Mitch was able to get a variety of instrumentalists last minute when we decided to change our key songs list, the flexibility he provided was clutch! The band was able to really feel the vibe of the crowd the whole wedding. We were most impressed with the singers in the band who were not only talented, but brought a ton of energy. Would chose Mitch again 10/10.

    Great band!

    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.

    Awesome Experience

    Working with Mitch’s band was one of the easiest parts of planning our over-the-top engagement party! He was super flexible and did everything he could do to accommodate our budget and time. I would highly recommend just solely based on the planning experience!

    All of our guests loved the music and had a great time dancing the afternoon away. Thank you for being a part of our celebrations!!

    Absolutely first rate professional musicians!

    Mitch and his band were amazing. We were told these are among the best musicians in the New York City area and our expectations were exceeded. They played every great Jazz classic we could think of and some terrific get up and dance songs too. These are talented and gifted pros.
    Thank you Mitch!

    A great band is hands down the most important factor in having a successful wedding. While it may seem daunting relying on reviews We can attest that this Band WILL make your wedding great. It made ours great and we've had tons of feedback from guests about the band. Several of our guests who have upcoming weddings have asked us for the list of songs played by the Band. They are reasonably priced and worth every single penny. Our wedding was a non stop dance fest and this was entirely due to the constant blast of energy and good music. I think the reason they are so good beyond the fact that they are eminently talented is that they...

    The Mitch Marcus Band was the hit of our wedding...other than me and my new husband, of course! Their music is outstanding, vocals were incredible, and all of our guests danced for 4 hours straight. Mitch asked me up front to go through a song list and once we had decided on what music we wanted played, the rest was up to the band...and they nailed it! We're from LA and so choosing a band from another city, sight unseen, was a bit nerve-wracking, but I can't recommend this band highly enough! Our friends are still talking about how great they were.

    I cannot recommend Mitch enough! We decided pretty late into wedding planning that we needed a pianist to play while our wedding guests arrived but before our ceremony started. Mitch was responsive, professional, easygoing and, most importantly, able to play all the songs I requested, ranging from funky, atypical pieces ("Twin Peaks" theme!), modern rock and indie (Radiohead, Arcade Fire), classical pieces and musical theatre. My guests are still raving about his performance and the unique set! Hiring Mitch was one of the easiest and best decisions we made - I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional pianist!

    Mitch and his band played at our Sept 2016 wedding. We can't say enough good things about the band! They are very talented and professional musicians. They kept the dance floor packed all night long. They played all the songs we requested, were very responsive and were a pleasure to work with! Thanks to Mitch and his band for making our wedding reception dreams come true!

    The Mitch Marcus Band is amazing!!! They performed at our wedding this past weekend at The Green Building in Brooklyn and absolutely kept the party going all night! Their musicians are extremely talented and versatile - played a ton of different kinds of music from Motown to Led Zeppelin to Prince to Motley Crew to Salt n' Peppa - and really paid attention to the energy of the guests. Mitch Marcus himself was really friendly, responsive, and accommodating throughout the whole process. They are way more affordable than other bands we researched and Mitch was very conscious of our budget limitations. He also wasn't afraid of our not-so-traditional music requests that other bands shied away from, and was open...

    We booked Mitch Marcus & Co. for an outdoor wedding. The sound & vibe they created was awesome. Every song we asked the band to play they performed perfectly (even those songs on short notice). Each member of the band was top notch as a performer and person. The vocals were truly amazing and the musical accompaniment so professional. Book this band and your guests will dance all day/night and thank you later. Thanks again - Adam & Jackie

    We hired Mitch and crew and they did not disappoint. Flexible, professional, friendly, and most importantly- they kept the dance floor packed all through our reception. We gave them a challenging number of songs and surprises and I think they handled it very well. I would recommend this band to any of my friends who are planning a special event.

    Mitch really took our wedding reception to 11! ( Spinal Tap ref :) )

    He put together an awesome group of extremely talented musicians that fit our budget and really delivered a great experience. The level of professionalism really gave us a lot of relief while we were planning the reception.

    Mitch met with us a month before our wedding to talk about our playlist and we had a few song requests that were outside the "pop" genre... Well, Mitch and his band learned the songs! They also fit them into a great playlist that included a wide variety of music that got everyone on the dance floor! They played Sam Cooke, The Cure, Tom Petty,...

    I attended my cousin's wedding in downtown NYC and this was the band playing. These guys were absolutely electrifying! The ensemble was tight, their repertoire was diverse and the music was superbly performed. Total pros. Mr. Marcus runs a tight ship and between all the instruments and the very talented vocalists, the entire evening had an upbeat and wonderful vibe and the crowd had a great time. The impressive quality of the band was a common topic of conversation throughout the evening (-"This band rocks!"). I couldn't believe I was hearing such good music at a wedding - it was sublime. I'm spreading the word about these guys to friends who are getting married, I really feel like the evening was taken up a notch due to these guys. Bravo!

    Mitch Marcus Music provided wonderful music for our wedding. They performed at our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, setting the perfect ambiance for each stage of the wedding. They also were the master of ceremonies at the reception and helped ensured everything moved forward smoothly. They incorporated our song requests along with those they knew would keep the dance floor packed and the celebration going until the end of the night. I can't say enough positive things about Mitch Marcus Music! They helped make our wedding a truly memorable evening!

    Mitch Marcus Music is outstanding. The band members are highly talented and have a tight sound when playing together. They are quite versatile as well, with the ability to play a wide variety of songs. The band also appears to be having fun and does a great job engaging the audience.

    Many "pro" bands have played so many events, you can tell they're just mailing it in, playing the same old songs without passion. The Mitch Marcus band was different. They clearly enjoyed playing together, had really strong musical chops, and gave it their all on every song. I looked around and could see there were a lot of people in the crowd standing and watching the band play, which is something you'd expect more from a concert than a corporate event. They really made the event special and I highly recommend them.

    this is the dream wedding band. Backed by the incredible Mitch Marcus - a musical genius - who has assembled some of the best musicians I've ever heard live. If I ever get married again, you can be sure I'd go with this band. Fun, professional, musically fantastic.

    Mitch and his band played our wedding at Angel Orensanz. Mitch was great throughout the process, assisting us with playlists, ideas for aspects of the party, and he and the band were even willing to learn all sorts of new tunes per our request. They played all aspects of the party, from the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the dinner, with different arrangements for each aspect. It was an amazing time, and everyone continually commented on how many people were dancing throughout. The wedding was a smashing success, in no small part due to the Mitch Marcus Band !!!!
