Punctual and awesome!

Mark was part of a bachelorette scavenger hunt for us and was amazing.
He was cute and funny and was a huge surprise for the bride re enacting Romeo and Juliet and giving her flowers.
Way better than a stripper haha which wouldn’t been ok for this particular bride.
Thank you so much, Mark!

Trump was Great!

Mark did a great job and was very patient when the timing had to change. He didn’t break character with the guests at any time. My son, the groom, was very surprised and loved it as well as many guests. It was the perfect surprise for him!

Made the event extra special!

Mark did a great job making a surprise appearance as President Trump for our mom's 90th birthday party. Mark willingly accommodated some unexpected last minute changes, and made the event extra special. He brought my mom out center stage and joked with all the attendees. We highly recommend Mark!

Merry was a delight to work with and was very communicative during the entire process which is always welcomed. This was my first event to be able to do back in person while still taking the necessary precautions with the current COVID atmosphere. Was a delight to see smiling faces again and it was a delight to bring some joy to everyone and honor your mothers milestone birthday! Stay safe and thank you so much! 💓💓💓

Cat in the Hat

Mark portrayed Dr. Seuss "The "Cat in the Hat" at a handful of schools for our businesses and he was amazing! The kids loved it, but the teachers might have enjoyed it even more than the children did. We would hire Mark again in a heartbeat.

Trump attending my daughter's wedding

Mark did an excellent job as president Donald J. Trump, crashing my daughter's wedding. He was escorted into the wedding reception stage by a dozen secret service agents (wedding guests donning sun glasses.). He delivered a fantastic congratulatory speech then posed for photos with the guests. My daughter and son-in-law were thrilled with the surprise. Mark did bid not disappoint my high expectations, and he NEVER broke character.
I highly recommend hiring Mark. He was VERY responsive and catered to my wishes. Mark, I thank you for making this special night all the memorable and fun!

Donald Trump... Mark Cashwell

Mark Cashwell was a fantastic Donald Trump Impersonator. He arrived on time and was ready to perform the moment he walked through the door. My birthday guests had no idea they were getting a visit from the President and they were very surprised when he walked into the party. Mark was hysterical while singing Happy Birthday to my guests and he stayed in character the entire performance. My event was four days ago and my guests are still praising his performance. Thank you Mark!

Professional - Entertaining - Recommend!

We were participating in a city-wide event and urgently needed an actor last minute...literally. Contacted Mark at 7 a.m. in the morning, he replied promptly, made suggestions, obtained a period costume, memorized the history of a historic building and drove over an hour (!) to arrive on time for the event. He kept guests entertained before they were seated, gave them a tour, improvised all with a sense of humor. Most importantly, his communication throughout the booking process and planning was superb. This was the first time using this site and booking an actor. I highly recommend Mark for any occasion. He's quite versatile and worked very hard in putting a character & costume together which by the way was a great choice. He looked fantastic, the guests loved it and it really made the event that more authentic. Cheers!

Trump's office appearnace

Donald came in and made an appearance to our sakes meeting to wish a co-worker a happy birthday. It was great and our sales meeting was certainly "made great again". Would recommend Mark for anyone. Did a great job singing happy Bday and making this birthday a memorable one.

Bad outfit

Mark was OK, but the outfit he had on wasn't. It was too small n it wouldn't stay put together. It was kinda Embarrassing.

Mark Cashwell

Response from Mark Cashwell:

HI Jule,

I apologize that the rental was not up to standards for where I can usually rent an outfit. That being said I did send pictures before the event to give an idea of what the outfit would look like since it was not exactly the color and type you were requesting, but I was given an ok before we confirmed booking so I assumed this was satisfactory for your event. Once I was able to secure the rental I did take follow-up photos of me in the costume to send so I could make any corrections but did not see any feedback afterwards to make adjustments or I would gladly have tried to correct before arriving. I know that we had to push you event back a few hours as scheduled and I gladly accommodated without any rate change because I really do try to make sure that my client is satisfied!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only did Mark accept the job on short notice he rented a costume and made my son's birthday party spectacular. His amazing performance and wiliness to pose for many photos as well as run around and play with the kids made my child's day and then some. I highly recommend this actor for any part. Our satisfaction is beyond the star rating allowed and it was money well spent. -The Mahon family-

The Perfect Charlie Chaplin!

We made the perfect choice in working with Mr. Cashwell! Not only did he provide an exceptional Charlie Chaplin impersonator; looks, mannerisms, the whole bit, but he was professional and efficient to work with as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Cashwell Creations for any event...we will DEFINITELY use again in the future!
