Brunch, Please! Turns Bucci’s Into a International Draw for Singalong Crowds

MARION, Ohio — A ticketed brunch event at Bucci’s Italian Scratch Kitchen has turned a downtown Marion restaurant into a travel stop for people willing to drive, fly and plan months ahead for mimosas, throwback songs and group singing.

The event is called Brunch, Please! It runs at Bucci’s, 320 W. Center St., and is built less like a standard meal than a daytime music event with food and drinks attached.

The Marion Area Convention and Visitors Bureau lists the event on Saturdays and Sundays in 2026, with 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. times, ticket prices ranging from $27.89 to $321.75, and admission that includes entertainment, an inflatable microphone and sunglasses.

The format is straightforward. Guests buy tickets, show up with a group, order brunch and drinks, and sing along to songs that move across generations and genres. Bucci’s and Brunch, Please! describe the event as a singalong party with mimosas, avocado toast, hash bowls and throwback anthems ranging from Beyoncé to Blink-182.

It has grown quickly.

The Brunch, Please! website says the event now draws groups from across Ohio and beyond for birthdays, bachelorette parties and other celebrations. The site also frames it as a “safe destination experience,” part concert, part party and part community gathering.

A typical Brunch, Please! event can include mimosas, brunch-style shots, communal singing, inflatable microphones and a room full of people treating late-morning Ohio like a piano bar with better lighting.

The larger online pitch is simple: arrive ready to sing. The quieter appeal is the sense of permission. People are not coming for background music.

They are coming to participate.

Food remains part of the draw. Event listings and restaurant materials highlight brunch items such as avocado toast and hash bowls, while user-facing event materials have also promoted dishes including Nashville chicken and donuts, Nutella banana pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and Bloody Mary specials. Drinks are usually central to the event, though tickets generally cover admission and entertainment while food and beverages are purchased separately.

Media attention has followed the crowds. The Mary Sue, in a 2025 feature on singalong brunch culture, described the Marion events as a place that had grown into “a safe place for women to be themselves.” The article also reported that Brunch, Please! had been covered by the Today Show and had gained attention across Facebook and TikTok.

The event’s own social media presence has helped drive that growth.

The official Instagram account says Brunch, Please! has sold out every singalong brunch since it began and has drawn women from more than 20 states and multiple countries.

For Marion, that is the larger story.

The business has already started extending the brand. Bear, Please! moves the singalong concept into a late-evening nightclub format at The Brickyard on Main, while themed brunches give repeat visitors a reason to come back for different versions of the same core experience.

The current schedule shows Brunch, Please! continuing through spring and summer 2026, with new dates, sold-out dates and specialty events already listed.

For now, the line outside Marion starts at brunch.
