Live music....
How wonderful it is to have your reception, wedding, anniversary, birthday, lunch, or dinner accompanied by a guitarist/singer providing calm, atmospheric background music.
Or with a full-scale performance.
It’s a delight to listen to in a restaurant, at a castle, on an estate, or in a hotel lounge,
at your company or (healthcare) facility for an anniversary or birthday.
We’ll discuss your wishes and your program in advance.
The price is based on a standard performance time of 2 x 45 min (1.5 hours total).
Longer performance times are negotiable.
As a musician, I perform a selection of mostly mellow, well-known pop songs.
I use only an (amplified) acoustic guitar and my own vocals....
So:
“What you see is what you get”.... Hence the name JUST MARCEL.
Also perfect for booking during the holidays, such as around Christmas, or as part of your end-of-year celebration.

CUSTOMIZED SERVICES
Every occasion is unique, which is why I offer customized services tailored to your wishes. If you’d like, I’d be happy to
connect with you personally beforehand via app, email, or phone.
MINI-CONCERT
In addition to the background music option, there’s also the option of a performance in the form of a “mini-concert.”
During the performance, I’ll share—if desired—one or more interesting facts about the song. This gives guests the opportunity to understand the song’s context.
This can be both enjoyable and inspiring, and can contribute to a successful event in a relaxed atmosphere and a wonderful experience!
SETUP
I have a complete vocal setup and backline.
I can perform both acoustically and with (light) amplification.
I require minimal space and am flexible in my approach. The act is suitable for both indoor and outdoor venues, as well as for small and larger halls. It’s also suitable for a living room setting or, for example, in a plaza or on a terrace.
EXPERIENCE
As a singer and guitarist, I have extensive experience performing at anniversaries, weddings, dinners, receptions, and birthday parties.
I’ve performed at various types of venues, including restaurants, castles or estates, hotel lounges, corporate events, etc.
The listed price is for a performance consisting of 2 sets of 45 minutes, excluding any additional (travel) costs and the like.
Of course, the performance time, etc., can be extended upon consultation to, for example, 3 sets of 45 minutes or 4 sets of 45 minutes.

Marcel made sure the musical accompaniment for our Italian lunch was just right. We used it as background music. But that’s not all—his communication and dedication leading up to the event were also very pleasant, and this immediately put us at ease. We definitely recommend Just Marcel!

Marcel certainly contributed to the success of my party in connection with my 70th birthday.

For our guitarist Marcel, with whom we immediately had a nice click, we would like to leave a compliment. No amplifiers were allowed in the orangery, but Marcel did not make this a problem at all. With his pleasant presence and a repertoire that suited us perfectly, he really contributed to the atmosphere of the day. We enjoyed his music and performance immensely.

Wonderful. It was perfect—all our wishes came true. Great set list; we heard nothing but good music. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon ?

Nice artist! Nice interaction with the audience, we enjoyed.

On February 5, 2026, we organized a "Warm Winter Meal" for nearly 100 people at the Dorpscentrum Oegstgeest. In doing so, Marcel largely provided the musical dressing for this event. It is always super nice to work with Marcel. He knows how to find the right tone for such an evening. Good background music for under the dinner, but with the "sing-alongs" it went wild and everyone joined in at the top of their voices. It was partly due to his contribution a great evening. This was also mentioned in the Oegstgeester Courant. Thanks again Marcel. Next year again!

Marcel is very flexible, has a good feel for people and is very pleasant to deal with. He gave us at the gym a super fun day with his performance! We did not have to worry about anything else, it was great! We received great feedback from the members. Everyone enjoyed his broad and familiar repertoire. Definitely worth repeating.
, Carl
Marcel performed his beautiful repertoire in our tapas restaurant! Both our guests and staff enjoyed his fine and understated performance. Everyone left our restaurant with a big smile on their face!
, Heleen
Marcel has performed several times over the past year at the Dorpscentrum Oegstgeest. During a lunch or dinner with 60 -125 guests he provided atmosphere-enhancing "background music". These were acoustic performances with guitar and vocals. The cooperation was very pleasant and he did a fantastic job. His repertoire is extremely suitable and he makes sure that the music is not overpowering. Highly recommended!
, Theehuis Jansland
In the spring of 2023 Marcel performed on our terrace (outside) of Theehuis Jansland in Voorschoten. During a lunch or cup of coffee our guests could enjoy Marcel's guitar playing and singing. With his acoustic evergreens he provided two hours of background music, which created a very pleasant atmosphere. The sound was good, not overpowering and his repertoire was very suitable for this setting. Highly recommended!

A very good singer with guitar playing we enjoyed it.
, Natasja
Marcel is a sweetheart. My father turned 80 and he loved the songs Marcel sang. The whole family enjoyed his presence and performance. Thank you Marcel, and we will definitely come to a performance of your band.
, Angela
The contact beforehand was very nice. Everything was discussed so that the evening was very relaxed. No worries and beautiful "background" music, what we wanted.
