Holiday & End-of-Year Parties

December · Seasonal · Year-End Celebrations

Holiday parties need energy that’s celebratory without tipping over — a balance Marcel hits every time. The set builds naturally from cocktail hour ambiance to a crowd-singing finale that sends your team home on a high note.

Marcel keeps the volume at the sweet spot throughout — lively enough to feel like a real show, comfortable enough that your team can catch up over drinks without shouting. He can take live requests throughout the night or work from a custom setlist built around your company’s vibe and team demographics.

Networking Receptions

Happy Hours · Industry Events · Association Meetings · Client Mixers

Live acoustic music does something a playlist simply can’t — it fills the room, smooths the early-arrival awkwardness, and gives guests a natural conversation starter without anyone trying.

Marcel performs at a volume your guests will appreciate: a genuine show that nobody has to raise their voice to talk over. He can work from a curated setlist matched to your industry or crowd, or open the floor to live requests to keep things interactive and personal.

Perfect volume — great show, easy conversation
Custom setlist or live requests — whichever fits the event
Professional presence for any industry or association
Minimal footprint — no stage required, sets up anywhere

Milestones & Anniversaries

Company Anniversaries · Grand Openings · Retirement Sendoffs · Award Nights

When a company reaches a milestone — a 10th anniversary, a 25-year celebration, a grand opening, a major award — the moment deserves more than a generic party playlist. Marcel builds a setlist that spans the decades relevant to your company’s history, creating a shared emotional experience that long-tenure employees and new team members can both connect with.

Whether it’s a retirement sendoff for a beloved leader, a ribbon-cutting celebration, or an anniversary gala, Marcel brings the warmth and musical depth to make the occasion feel genuinely significant.

Charity Events & Fundraisers

Charity Galas · Benefit Dinners · Silent Auctions · Nonprofit Events

Charity events carry emotional weight that most corporate events don’t — the room is full of people who care deeply about the cause, and live acoustic music has a way of amplifying that feeling. Marcel creates an atmosphere that is warm, generous, and genuinely moving without ever overshadowing the mission.

From cocktail hour through the live auction and dinner, Marcel’s performance keeps guests engaged and in the spirit of the evening. The right music during a charity gala has been shown to directly increase bid energy and donor generosity.

Warm, emotionally resonant performance suited to the cause
Cocktail hour through dinner and live auction — full coverage
PA system included — mic for speeches, tributes & presentations
Nonprofit-friendly booking process — straightforward agreement

What Makes Marcel Different

Pure Talent. No Gimmicks. Just Music.

Twenty years of live performance. Over 1,000 events. Here’s what that actually looks like in the room.

01

The Perfect Volume — Every Time

Marcel calibrates the volume so your guests get a genuine live music experience while still being able to hold their own conversations easily. A real show that respects the room — nobody’s shouting over the music, nobody’s wondering if something is even playing.

02

Fully Customized to Your Event

Marcel doesn’t show up with a one-size setlist. Tell him the theme, the crowd, the vibe — he builds around it. Custom setlists, themed song selections, live requests on the night, or any combination. The music fits your event, not the other way around.

03

Pure Acoustic — No Backing Tracks, No Gimmicks

What your guests hear is exactly what Marcel is playing in that moment. No loop stations, no pre-recorded layers. Acoustic guitar and vocals, live and unfiltered. It’s immediately recognizable as real — and that’s what leaves an impression.

Performance Formats

Choose the Right Setup for Your Event

Two formats. Both built around 100% live performance. Both fully customizable to your event theme, crowd, and timeline.

  • Custom setlist, themed song selection, or live requests — you choose
  • Calibrated volume — a great show your guests can also talk over

  • Space: 6×6 ft minimum — fits any corner, stage, or open area
  • Power: one standard outlet

Custom setlist · Theme matching · Live requests

Best value for most corporate bookings. Marcel handles everything — you provide the start time.

Echoes & Rhythm

Duo · Full Band Sound · Minimal Footprint

Marcel on guitar and vocals, plus a live drummer — a 2-piece act that consistently gets mistaken for a full band. Guests come up after the show genuinely surprised it was only two people. All the energy of a full production, none of the complexity.

  • Custom setlist, themed song selection, or live requests — same flexibility as solo
  • Full band energy in a minimal stage footprint
  • Setup time: 35 minutes
  • Space: 10×10 ft minimum stage area

Common Questions

Corporate Booking FAQ

Can we get a custom setlist or theme the music to our event?
Absolutely — and this is one of Marcel’s strengths. Tell him the theme, the vibe, or the crowd demographic and he’ll build a setlist around it. He can do era-specific nights (all 80s, all 90s), mood-based selections (upbeat throughout, mellow during dinner then building), or brand-aligned themes. You can also leave it entirely open for live requests on the night, or do a mix of both. Include your preferences in the inquiry and he’ll come back with ideas.
Can Marcel provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for our venue?
Yes — Marcel carries full musician liability insurance and provides a COI naming your venue or organization as additionally insured. Most hotel venues and corporate event spaces require this, and Marcel is fully prepared for it. Just mention it in your inquiry.
Can Marcel provide a microphone for speeches or announcements?
Yes. Marcel brings his own PA system and can provide a microphone for toasts, speeches, award presentations, or any moment where your team needs to address the room. Just let him know in advance and he’ll have it ready as part of his setup.
Can Marcel work with our venue’s existing AV or sound system?
Yes. For smaller or mid-size events Marcel brings his own PA. For larger rooms he can plug directly into your venue’s existing AV system. He coordinates with your AV team in advance so everything is confirmed and there are no surprises on the day.
What’s the booking process? Is there a contract?
Marcel sends a straightforward booking agreement covering the event date, performance duration, payment terms, and any specific requirements. A deposit secures the date, with the balance due before or on the day. Simple, professional, and easy to route through standard procurement.
How far in advance should we book?
For most corporate events, 4–8 weeks in advance is the sweet spot — enough time for setlist planning, agreement signing, and proper coordination. That said, Marcel can work with last-minute bookings if he’s available. Last-minute requests require a fast turnaround on the agreement and deposit to lock in the date — reach out and he’ll let you know within hours if he can make it work. November and December holiday dates are the exception — those fill up well in advance.
Can Marcel perform for an extended period or in multiple sets?
Yes — in most cases Marcel can perform 3 to 4 hours continuously. He can also structure the performance around your event: cocktail hour set while guests arrive, a pause during dinner service, then back for the main reception or post-dinner portion. Whatever timeline works for your event, Marcel builds the performance around it. Just outline your schedule in the inquiry.
How is Echoes & Rhythm different from hiring a full band?
Echoes & Rhythm is Marcel on guitar and vocals plus a live drummer — two people who consistently get mistaken for a full band by guests. You get the energy and presence of a full production without the logistics: no 6-piece band to coordinate, no large stage footprint, no complex technical rider. Just two professional musicians who show up, set up in 35 minutes, and deliver a show that fills the room.
