August 3, 2015Most Amazing Singer/DJ
I just had my wedding yesterday and Marcus was phenomenon! He wasn't just a wedding signer, he was a signer, a DJ and he was well prepared.
I met Marcus about a year ago when we were planning our wedding, he was responsive and professional! He met with us immediately after our initial request and he was in constant email communications even on his vacation!
He is so talented with his one man show -- he is able to sing solo, DJ and play an one-man show with his setup!! I couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive band than him. He was also able to even help us with some of our songs which were in Spanish!
But most of all, he is kind, friendly, genuine and he went above and beyond our expectations! He is an amazing singer who I cannot believe I could book him for our wedding! He should be on stages and making his own albums!
Marcus is simply amazing and I wish him nothing but the best in his future!

July 1, 2015Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Totally blown away with how wonderful Marcus was - he exceeded our expectations in absolutely every way possible. From the very beginning he made the process of planning the music for our wedding day so easy. He was easy to communicate with, responsive and extremely professional.
Despite the very complicated layout of our venue, Marcus made every detail work seamlessly. He took the lead and made everything happen without me needing to lift a finger or voice a single question or concern. There wasn't a single hiccup (or if there was, I never knew about it). We coordinated the music details with him over the course of many months from a distance of 3000 miles away, but he made every step of it so simple.
He played live music and sang during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, we received so much praise from our guests about how amazing his performances were. They truly were. His voice is incredible ... I found myself at moments during the cocktail hour just sitting and enjoying his music - getting lost in it. Just phenomenal.
He also DJ'ed our reception - it was a blast. He kept the crowd dancing and on their feet but was unobtrusive. He worked so hard throughout the day to keep things moving - I can't believe he does all he does on his own. At the end of the day we would have paid 3x what he had charged us for such a quality-level of service. Of all of our wedding vendors (which we all loved) he is the one I feel I can speak the highest of. Words could hardly express our gratitude to him - there is no doubt our day was more amazing simply because of him being there and his amazing talent.
He is genuinely a great person, and a terrific asset to any wedding. I can't say enough wonderful things about him!!!

September 11, 2014Fantastic Singing Guitarist!!
Marcus was fantastic. He played at my sister's celebration of life service and made something so negative easier to deal with. He played the perfect amount of background music so people could talk over it or sit and listen. I think he did an amazing job of filling in the empty space without taking it over. That's a really hard balancing act. Had many complements on his music and on top of that he seemed to be a really nice person. Stayed after to talk to people and help put away items at the venue. Can't thank him enough.

September 5, 2014Performance Par Excellence!
Everyone from my party loves Marcus! He has the looks, the voice and the talent. Truly mutifaceted! I wouldn't be surprised if Marcus will get another call for a private party sooner! He was on time, very polite, very professional. I would love to have him again in the near future!

September 4, 2014The real deal!
Marcus was incredible. He showed up earlier than I did to my own proposal, where he warmed up his vocals and was outstanding. I highly recommend Marcus for ANY occasion. I'm using him again for my wedding.
