Detroit Marimba, at a glance.
Music & region
Custom arrangements by Spencer, including Guatemalan celebration music developed with Estudio Marimba and completed contemporary trio selections. Based in Metro Detroit, with event inquiries across Southeast Michigan.
Current listening material
Six digital mockups of the Guatemalan trio arrangements are available. There is currently no live performance footage or wedding-specific recording. Use these samples to explore the arrangements, then confirm the musical brief with Spencer.
What we’ll review with your venue.
Performance space & access
A stable, level area for the marimba and performers, plus a safe route from unloading to the playing location. Tell us about stairs, elevators, narrow doors, loading restrictions, and any move between rooms. Dimensions and clearance will be confirmed for your setup.
Schedule & transitions
Performance windows, setup and soundcheck, breaks, remarks, and the handoff to a DJ or other act. Share the draft running order; setup time and relocation plans are agreed for the venue.
Sound & weather
Room acoustics, desired listening level, any amplification and power needs. Indoor settings are preferred; outdoor plans require cover, stable ground, weather protection, and safe instrument access.
Production & requests
Musical requests, arrangement lead time, attire, and any recording plans. If your venue requires insurance documentation or other supplier paperwork, include those requirements so they can be reviewed before confirmation.

Can I share this with my client?
Yes. Share this page, the public repertoire, or the planning brief below. They describe the current ensemble without private client details. The audio samples must remain described as digital arrangement mockups.
What is your Lafayette Grande connection?
Our planning experience includes coordination with the Lafayette Grande team in Pontiac for an upcoming celebration. This is venue coordination, not a claim of preferred-vendor status or endorsement.
Can I request an agency quote?
Yes. Include your agency or planner role and preferred communication process. Contracting and any commission or net-rate arrangements are discussed individually.
