Before the ceremony
Welcome guests with an instrumental prelude. A gentle musical opening can give everyone time to settle before the ceremony begins.
Detroit Marimba
A familiar melody. An unexpected sound.
Live marimba brings warmth and a distinctive visual presence to your wedding. Our signature trio pairs Lexi Eubanks on flute with Spencer Perilloux and Cooper Johnson sharing one marimba, with every selection custom arranged by Spencer.
Let the music follow the day.
Choose the moments you want to shape, then we’ll discuss the repertoire, timing, and ensemble that fit them.
The walk down the aisle
Tell us which melody matters to you. We’ll discuss an arrangement, entrances, and a clear cue with your officiant or planner, including how the music should end.
Cocktail hour
Give guests something memorable to discover while they reconnect. We’ll plan the musical character and sound level around the room and the conversation.
Dinner or a featured moment
Consider music as guests arrive for dinner, or a short performance everyone pauses to hear. We’ll coordinate breaks, remarks, and the handoff to your DJ or other entertainment.
Considering a string quartet?
If you love the idea of live instrumental wedding music and are open to a different sound, marimba is worth hearing.
A different musical color
A string quartet offers the familiar blend of two violins, viola, and cello. Our trio combines the flute’s sustained lyrical voice with the warm resonance and rhythmic detail of marimba. Choose the sound that feels like your celebration.
Compare the actual selections
Our arrangements are written for this ensemble. We’ll confirm your ceremony cues and song requests individually; a piece offered by a quartet may need a new arrangement for us.
Plan the space together
A marimba needs a stable performance area and a safe load-in route. We’ll review your venue’s access and setup before quoting, including any move between ceremony and reception spaces.
Current trio arrangements

What contemporary music can we choose?
Completed trio arrangements include From the Start, The Times They Are A-Changin’, we can’t be friends (wait for your love), and What Was I Made For? The repertoire page lists the current selections. Wedding-specific mockups and live footage are not yet available.
Can we include Guatemalan music?
Yes. Our Guatemalan celebration repertoire was developed with source material and guidance from Estudio Marimba in Guatemala. We can discuss meaningful melodies for a ceremony, family moment, or reception alongside contemporary selections.
Can we request solo marimba or a duo?
Yes—tell us which format interests you, or ask us to help choose. The current published arrangements and audio mockups represent the flute-and-two-marimbists trio. Repertoire and any preparation for a solo or duo program are confirmed separately.
