The Mark Brandt Jazz Trio

The Mark Brandt Trio is spectacular. I can not imagine our wedding without them. Having live music was very important to us, and it was wonderful to see how our niece and nephews reacted to having a live band. The music created a very warm atmosphere, and since most of our guests are not big dancers, it provided the perfect ambiance to sit comfortably and talk to each other. Which is not to say that there was not dancing, because my husband and I certainly enjoyed some dancing! Mark, the bandleader, served as our emcee, and even made a special announcement for our guests to sign the guestbook poster we had made. Mark is also just a wonderful person, and even talked to us a little about vacationing in Ireland. When we first saw the Mark Brandt Trio, they were performing at the local community college, and held a jam session at the end for the students. Their devotion to music is obvious, and I certainly love to attend future events where they are preforming. If you are considering a live band for your wedding or event, definitely hire the Mark Brandt Trio!

The band was a huge crowd pleaser. We had a lot of compliments on the jazz band and they were wonderful. The music was classy and well chosen. It really suited the cocktail hour perfectly. They are wonderful to work with we would really recommend them!

The Mark Brandt Trio was such a treat to have play at our reception! Everyone loved their music and it was a perfect, classy touch! This trio is amazingly talented and much fun to work with! I highly recommend them and plan on attending their future gigs! Thanks so much!!!

There are not enough good things we can say about this group. My fiancée and I had seen the Mark Brandt Jazz Trio play on a previous occasion at a winery and were ecstatic when we were able to book them for our wedding reception. The quality of music, as well as their flexibility in accommodating our schedule and a few of my special requests, was outstanding. This, coupled with a very reasonable rate, made every aspect of dealing with this group a delight. These gentlemen definitely added a touch of class and elegance to our event and we would absolutely jump at the chance to engage them again!

Although our event was a fundraiser rather than a wedding, I can say that the Mark Brandt trio was great! We had 180 guests at Rappahannock Cellars and after dinner, auction, etc, the trio took the stage and delighted our mostly adult audience. The music is instrumental jazz that is very danceable. After the opening couple of songs there were people on the dance floor for the remainder of the evening. This is their second event for us and we will definitely use them again. For full disclosure I will say that I'm friends with a couple of the band members but my review is based solely on the trio's stellar performance. Joe Miller co-owner Rappahannock Cellars

This was a very professional and talented band. Recommended highly for any special event!
