Why hosts choose
The Evening Beat.
The company is led by Mark Kopitzke, former lead singer of the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Mark has performed with and learned from the greatest entertainers of Disney, Broadway, cruise lines & symphonies. He brings those experiences to inform his refined approach—having worked nearly 20 years in private events.
Not just because he’s a world class vocalist—he’s a host.
A storyteller.
Mark is a former director of theater and film—he knows how to lead a room through the story you want to tell.
An entertainer.
Music serves your moment. Mark and his team design & actively respond to the magic that is a live event.
Most importantly—
Someone who knows how to make guests feel included, celebrated and engaged.
