Three ensembles, built to move a New York room.
Every Mareé band is hand-assembled from a roster of forty New York musicians — Juilliard graduates, Broadway pit veterans, and Lincoln Center regulars. Below, the three configurations our NYC couples ask for most.
The Mareé Orchestra
Our flagship ensemble. Built for the room — from black-tie ballrooms at The Plaza to skyline rooftops in DUMBO. The horn section pushes, the vocalists alternate sets in seven languages, and the dance floor never empties before two.
Full rhythm section · Two vocalists · Horn section · Strings on request
The Plaza · Cipriani 42nd · The Pierre · Rainbow Room · Weylin
Mareé Strings
Classical players who moonlight at Lincoln Center. Equally at home with a Pachelbel prelude as a string arrangement of Frank Ocean — every chart is written for your couple, in-house, by our music director.
Juilliard-trained players · Custom arrangements · Acoustic or amplified
Central Park Conservatory Garden · Brooklyn Botanic Garden · St. Patrick's · Tribeca Rooftop
Mareé Jazz Trio
Smoky, low-volume, conversation-friendly. The perfect counterpoint to a champagne pour at golden hour — Sinatra, Bossa Nova, and the Great American Songbook delivered with the polish of a Carlyle residency.
Upright bass · Piano · Saxophone · Optional vocalist
The Carlyle · Gramercy Park Hotel · Bemelmans-style lounges · The Beekman
The right ensemble for every New York room.
Acoustic quirks, guest counts, and city sound ordinances all shape what we recommend. A starting point — refined together on our first call.
The Plaza · The Pierre · Cipriani
13–15 piece Orchestra + Strings for ceremony
Tall ceilings and 300+ guests demand a full horn section and dual vocalists to fill the room.
Weylin · The Bordone · 501 Union
11-piece Orchestra, late-night DJ handoff
Exposed brick eats high frequencies — we tune the PA for warmth and bring an in-house engineer.
Tribeca Rooftop · 74Wythe · The Bordone
9-piece Orchestra + Cocktail Jazz Trio
Outdoor sound ordinances mean a tighter rig — we deploy compact line arrays and a curfew-aware setlist.
Private estates · Wölffer · Topping Rose
Strings (ceremony) + 11-piece Orchestra + Jazz (cocktails)
Tented receptions on the lawn — we coordinate generator power, weather contingencies, and ferry logistics.
Blue Hill at Stone Barns · Brotherhood
String Quartet + 9-piece Orchestra
Intimate guest counts (80–150) favor a smaller, more acoustic-leaning configuration.
The Bowery Hotel · Bowery House · Private brownstones
Jazz Trio + 7-piece micro-band
Sub-100 guest list, salon-style — soft volumes, refined repertoire, a single vocalist.
A 600-song book, cover-to-cover memorized.
A taste of what fills a Mareé dance floor. Couples receive the full book at signing and choose every must-play and do-not-play.
