Mark Morand is a Melbourne-based jazz duo.
Music that can remain strictly in the background or become the main event defines Mark Morand's flexible wedding approach. Mark performs with a selected vocalist or ensemble and can draw additional musicians from an extensive Melbourne network when a larger band is preferred. The performers tailor their work around your needs and can also engage socially with guests when that suits the occasion. Performance formats can range from a concise feature to several hours of music, depending on the brief. The moment to hear them is over wedding dinner, when experienced entertainers can support the atmosphere without taking focus from the people in the room.

The brief comes from you and the performance is built to it. Strictly background, a dinner set, or the main event, Mark and the vocalist or ensemble you've chosen will pitch it where you want it. They turn up on time, set up fast, and take up very little room, which matters more than people expect in a tight venue. Pack down is just as quick. Between sets they'll happily chat with guests about the music if that's the atmosphere you're after, or keep a low profile if it isn't.
One power point. Their sound gear is low profile and goes up in minutes, and it barely eats into the floor space you've set aside, but it still fills a room properly. So you can put them in a corner of the venue rather than surrendering a whole stage area to them.
Length is genuinely open, anywhere from a twenty minute spot to a three hour night. The other lever is size: Mark can pull in additional musicians from a wide Melbourne network, so the duo becomes a larger band when the room calls for it. Tell them what the event is and they'll put together something that fits it.
