It just so happens that Wilmington and the surrounding beaches are a wedding destination and performing for weddings through the spring and fall has has become a nice cottage industry for me. I work with clients who value the power of guitar music and have a desire to bring true artistry to their wedding. Besides your fiancé and you music is the one element of your wedding day that has the power to evoke memories that will last a lifetime.

If you have not already please check out The Carolina Wedding Guide. This is the resource for planning your wedding in the port city area.

Our Mission

We here at Marc Siegel Music (MSM) want to help you take full advantage of having live music at your function.

We will do whatever it takes to make the event special for you and your guests.

We pride ourselves in accommodating many requests.

We are the very best musicians in the southeast. The musicians you hire when you work with MSM all have exceptional resumes and have performed throughout the world as band leaders and sidemen.

MSM guarantees professionalism and experience- we have performed countless weddings and events for many years.

At MSM our range is very large and we excel at customizing your event , but lets face it there are many, many different genres of music out there: our pledge is that we will never tell you that we are good at top forty, or hard rock or anything that is not our forte

Please note that because I perform regularly (approx. 170 + or - dates a year) in a variety of musical settings many clients come by to hear me/us live, so please stop by and let me know you are there so I can answer any questions you might have! To check out where to hear me stop by my calendar page.

Please keep in mind that you will never know what you might catch me peforming. It may be as a classical/Spanish solo guitarist, or as a jazz guitarist in a duo with sax or playing with a funk trio or performing with a classic Big Band or in recital as a concert guitarist, or informally at area jazz jams, the list could go on...

We wanted to thank you for playing such wonderful music at our wedding and reception. The music during the wedding was beautiful and the music during the reception was a beautiful backdrop while folks were eating and chatting. Please feel free to use us as a reference.

Thank you-

Ray and Stephanie Styons

Marc:

I am very sorry I did not get to meet you Saturday but I guess I was too involved in what was going on around me. However, I was quite impressed with your music and it was perfect for both the setting and our wedding.

We really appreciate your coming to Southport for us and we plan to come hear you again.

It was beautiful!

Best regards,

Gay Michel
