Great vendor - talented, communicative, prompt

This is the second time we've hired Mark and another flawless event. He arrived early, set up quickly, was extremely receptive to what we needed as the event went on, and was really kind. Would definitely recommend if you want a talented musician and easy to book.

We recently booked Mark for a VIP event at my job and I had a 10/10 experience. Mark was communicative and prompt in the planning process, he arrived early with all his gear, set up quickly, played beautifully, was responsive to changes in our timing/program, and was kind and professional. Would definitely book him again.

A special birthday event for a disabled family member. Mark played all of the birthday member’s classical and popular favorites. The evening was
very mellow and congenial, with the added background atmosphere

Perfect!

Mark played last night at our birthday party at our home, for about 35 people. It was an outdoor event. He showed up on time, plugged in his amp, and started playing. No fuss. He's a fantastic guitarist and the guests loved his playing. He was also interactive and personable. When he took a break, he played a Segovia recording through his amp and no one could tell it wasn't Mark continuing to play. I can't recommend him highly enough. He was exactly what we hoped for when we chose him. He made the party feel special.

Mark’s music was a wonderful compliment to our afternoon dinner party. We gave him the flexibility to play his selections of his choice, blending his vast repertoire of music styles. Each one was perfect and I received many compliments from the guests. Mark kept in frequent contact prior to the event, was early to set up and start. An excellent artist and friendly gentleman. Will be our go-to musician for

Professional and reliable!

We hosted an anniversary party where Mark provided guitar and ukulele background music for almost two hours, then transitioned into our DJ for the rest of the evening. Mark was extremely professional and reliable throughout the event; he arrived over an hour early to set up at the venue despite needing to travel from outside the county and significant traffic & parking challenges.

As you can tell from his videos, Mark's musical skills are spectacular, and our guests noticed Mark's contribution to event providing both fun and refinement with his playing! Mark worked with us on the details of our event, and he was supportive and collaborative throughout the planning, always prioritizing what we wanted without an ego. He rolled with the punches when we obnoxiously kept changing the floor plan layout on him.

On top of everything, Mark came to the rescue when the venue's audio system was unable to play some videos we wanted to show. He was more than happy to help us get the audio on his speakers, and this was just one example where Mark put our needs above what he was contractually obligated to do.

For the DJ set, we had made a number of requests, and Mark did a great job of weaving in the requests and managing the tempo. Mark's setup was simple and efficient with his laptop and speakers. There's not a big show of heavy equipment, turntables, and whatnot, but that wasn't what we were looking for.

Overall, Mark's ukulele and guitar playing was a treat for us and our guests, and our gig with Mark couldn't have gone more smoothly!

Mark is the best!!!

First of all, we highly recommend Mark! He was the guitarist and DJ/MC at our wedding and kept everything running so smoothly. He is so professional, friendly, showed up early and listened to all of our requests. This comes from a musician and a music lover so this was a huge part of our day that we were pretty specific about and he nailed it! We knew he was an amazing guitar player because we had heard him play and then he proved to be an amazing DJ/MC as well! He is such a natural at what he does that it adds such an element of ease to the whole event. He filled our ceremony with beautiful acoustic guitar tunes and then turned the party up at the reception! The best of both worlds. The moment he played the first song as DJ the dance floor filled up and it stayed that way! He has such a knack for feeling out the crowd and keeping the party going. We had so much fun at our wedding and we owe a huge thank you to Mark for the major part he played in making it that way. We cannot say enough good things about him, he is a rarity and we are so glad he was able to play and DJ at our wedding. Mark you are the best! Thank you!!!

MARK WAS THE PERFECT MUSICIAN

I had a small wedding ceremony at a home - and wanted some background music while the guests mingled before and after the ceremony. I reached out to several musicians and landed on Mark. He was very responsive to all of my inquiries. He informed us of exactly what he needed at the event (which was helpful so we can set everything up for him) and then offered us his playlist so we can pick and choose what we wanted him to play. About a week before the event - he checked in with us - confirming everything. Very professional. The night of the ceremony - he arrived on time - dressed appropriately. At the event - his playing was excellent. Many of our guests asked about him - letting us know how much they enjoyed the music (his playing). I would recommend Mark to anyone - and will certainly use him again.

Beautiful, soulful music!

We were so lucky to have Mark play for our Rehearsal Dinner, and it was beyond perfect. His range of music and playing style is incredible, and he kept the music and pace in tune with the environment, the cadence of the evening and speeches. He played some of my very favorite songs, and it was subtle enough that at moments I wanted to stop talking and just listen, never overpowering the conversation, but keeping the flow of the night beautiful, peaceful, and full of soul with a little flamenco spirit :). He is also just a very nice human!! Thank you Mark! Would have you play for our event(s) again in a heartbeat!

Hire Mark!

We booked Mark to play for our micro-wedding and he was amazing! I had a very specific procession song that I wanted that was not super common. Although he originally didn’t know it, he learned it for us no problem! Everyone loved listening to his music and it was perfect for our intimate micro-wedding. Very professional, good communication, definitely recommend.

AMAZING Musician and OUTSTANDING professional!

Mark supported my family when we had a funeral for a relative a few days ago. Mark played beautiful songs for the prelude, during the service, and after the service. Everyone said he played beautifully and added so much to the service.
Mark is very good with communication and did everything that was requested. He came on time, was dressed for the occasion and was a perfect gentlemen. All the guests complimented his music. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Mark is THE BEST!

Okayyyy!! You guys, we got married 5/29/21 and Mark was hands down one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. He made it so much fun from our initial meeting until the very last moment of our wedding. He is an excellent communicator which made things so smooth during the planning process.

He played ukulele for our ceremony and even learned songs specifically catered to what we wanted. It really felt so special and created the exact vibe we wanted. Our guests are STILL talking about it after the wedding!

He also did all of our announcements & introductions, AND dj’d our ceremony without a hitch! He kept the vibe steady and upbeat, and had everyone on the floor dancing up a storm.

We would choose him over and over again. Thank you Mark for making The Verdon Wedding unforgettable.

Acoustic Guitar at Wedding

Mark was the perfect musician for our wedding. He serenaded us with his acoustic guitar during the wedding ceremony and cocktail reception, and then helped us with our audio equipment and music playlist during the dinner reception. Mark was professional and a pleasure to work with through the whole process, from our initial chat, till the end of the wedding. We recommend Mark with zero hesitation.

Mark played at our home for 3 hours this past weekend for a teacher retirement brunch party. He plays beautifully and was so responsive to our request to focus on classical Spanish guitar pieces. The music volume was just right so that our guests could comfortably socialize. He has a huge repertoire and is really eager to respect your wishes. What a great vibe his music added to the party. He is so easy to work with and is professional every step of the way. Highly recommended!!

This is our second time hiring Mark for an event here at Plymouth Village, and we will definitely again for future events. He always arrives at the time he promises, dresses very professionally, and is a very talented musician. Every time he has been here, our guests ask for his business cards and inquire how they too can hire him. I would highly recommend Mark for any event you are having.

Awesome Ceremony and Cocktail Hour Music

Mark is seriously the best for so many reasons.
Let's start from the beginning:
I sent him an email with my phone number inquiring about his services. He got back to me through text message within MINUTES of me emailing him. He sent me videos of him playing, a list of songs he plays regularly, the price he charges and all of the sites containing his reviews. We set the date and he asked what time we wanted him there.

Leading up:
Mark was very communicative and organized and confirmed ahead of time what songs we wanted played for processional, bridal entrance, exit, and cocktail hour. And then he was super flexible when we were indecisive and constantly changed our minds up until the last minute.

Day of:
Mark showed up on time, played everything perfectly, and many of our guests commented on how awesome he was and how refreshing yet elegant it was to have acoustic guitar playing at our wedding instead of violin or harp.

Bottom line:
Mark is the best. His rate is affordable and well worth the money. HIRE HIM NOW. You won't regret it and your guests will thank you. And then you'll thank him.

After hearing Mark play during the cocktail hour of a friend's wedding, we knew he would be a great fit for OUR wedding! Mark graciously made the drive down from Los Angeles to San Diego (on a Friday!) to play classical guitar during our ceremony as well as our reception cocktail hour immediately following. He was so pleasant! He arrived on time, looking sharp, played beautifully, and was professional, personable, and calming. Thank you, Mark, for being modest and laid back...yet making a BIG difference in making our wedding gorgeous with your gift of music. XO

An Incredible Musician

I found Mark through Gig Salad and hired him to play for a Corporate Event I was hosting at my house. The gathering of about 30 included both Mandarin and English speakers. I wanted to have classical music in the room, and I needed a musician who could adapt the sound level and repertoire to the occasion.

Mark is a perfect Five. As someone who has studied classical guitar in the past, his technique and execution is incredible: made me envious that I was never that good. I asked him to play a nice mix of classical and contemporary pieces which worked really well. As the group shifted from cocktail hour to dinner he shifted his position to follow the crowd. The comments flowed in from guests all evening long about how lovely it was to have such beautiful music. You can never get the same reaction from playing canned music from Pandora as it just lacks the richness and entertainment value of a live performer.

I would also add that Mark is highly organized, arrives on time, sets up quickly and is very personable, presentable and professional. He is a guaranteed success for any event whether a corporate event, cocktail party, wedding...whatever. If you want to make an event elegant....contact Mark.

We are a family with highly specific musical tastes, so I knew it might not be easy finding the right player for my youngest daughter's wedding. She was very exacting about the songs she wanted, and she happened to want no vocals, instrumental only (although we both agreed Mark has a great voice).

We had a kind of a last minute wedding but he stepped up and accommodated a few musical requests that were not part of the list he sent.

I booked Mark Bouras for an evening cocktail party of 50 guests I was hosting. It was a mix of ages from 20s to 60s. I wanted some type of entertainment that everyone would enjoy. Mark's guitar playing was fantastic. The music level was perfect where every guest could chat without yelling over the music. He had a great selection of classical, spanish and modern songs that were both soothing and entertaining. My only regret is that, as host, I did not get to sit and enjoy him more. Very professional from start to finish. Nice guy to boot. I would highly recommend. Thanks Mark.

Mark was a perfect fit at my charity event. He was on time, professional, and his musical skill was flawless. He played a variety of acoustic pop and classical during the cocktail hour and dinner. Guests enjoyed the background music and could still have a conversation. Mark didn't try to be the center of attention or blast us with distracting vocals as I have seen many musicians try to do. Everyone loved him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guitarist.

Professional and Friendly

I hired Mark to accompany me on guitar for an important audition. He learned the songs within days. It was clear during our first rehearsal that he had spent a good amount of time preparing. We was on-time and was a very skilled guitarist.

Talented and Professional

My husband and I wanted a classical guitarist to play the music for our wedding ceremony and during cocktail hour. We really got lucky when we found Mark! Mark was easy to communicate with, prompt, and respectful of all the "guidelines" of the venue. Mark's performance was fantastic! Some of my guests thought it was a CD! During cocktail hour, he took requests and my guests were impressed with how diverse his knowledge of music is! He could play anything! I would highly recommend him to anyone and for any event!

Wonderful guitarist!

Mark was very professional. He even bought sheet music to our theme song "Married Life" to perform at our wedding ceremony. His performance was everything I dreamed it to be and more. I would highly recommend him for all events.

Professional and Talented Guitarist! 5 STARS!

We had the pleasure of booking Mark to play at our Wedding Dinner Rehearsal. He was very easy to work with. His follow up before the event was timely and very appreciative. He always responded immediately to any questions we had. Once he arrived for our event, he was dressed professional and had a warm and inviting personality. The girls at the party also told me that Mark was a "CUTIE". Did i also mention that he is a really talented guitarist. He played a great mixture of music that we asked for. He was on time and actually stayed a little after than what we agreed on. Mark is a class act and i would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Mark!
