Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 7, 2010•From Johnstown, PA
Jeff Marks did an amazing job at my wedding reception. All the guests, including my husband and I, loved the entire performance! He was pretty much the talk of the night. I would DEFINITELY hire him again and would recommend him to anyone. He even learned a song I requested for my our first dance!

Since we can only give 5 stars for excellence Jeff Marks gets 5 stars but he deserves a whole lot more. We were very, very happy with him. He was extremely accommodating! He went above and beyond our expectations. He was the perfect touch to our event. Excellent voice and guitar player! Based on our experience with Jeff Marks we highly recommend him!

Jeff was totally professional - he was not given much notice(less than a week) because the guitarist I had hired was not able to make it but Jeff emailed me immediately, followed by a phone call which definately put me at ease. He showed up to the wedding as planned and did an absolutely fantastic job! He played the song which I walked down the aisle to - so in my mind he saved the day! I can't thank him enough for such a wonderful perfomance. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Jeff was perfect for our outdoor wedding! He was extremely accommodating, learning a couple of songs for our event---and ALL of our guests commented on how wonderful he played (specifically commenting on how talented he is). Super-nice guy and easy to work with, his music was fun and perfect for all of our guests. Thanks Jeff!

Jeff and his brother Brian performed at our wedding June 20, 2009. They were phenomenal! We were so impressed with their talent. They were professional and polite. The music was excellent and we received so many compliments from our guests. We will definitely recommend them to others. We could have danced all night!

Jeff was excellent and we cannot wait to hire him again for another event at our marina. He knew exactly how to please the crowd and had a broad range of selections. Additionally, Jeff was very personable and accomodating. I would highly recommend hiring Jeff for your event.

Jeff played for our wedding ceremony (outside) and cocktail hour. Jeff arrived early and set-up his equipment without any assistance. With all of the confusion just before the ceremony, I cannot tell you how nice it was to have someone with Jeff's experience and ability. He played while guests were arriving, and then began to play the songs for our processional at just the right time. He quickly relocated ater the ceremony and played all of the songs we requested for the cocktail hour. Several of our guests made a point to tell us how much they enjoyed his performance. Jeff is professional, curteous, and an exceptional guitarist / singer. ABSOLUTELY GREAT!

Jeff did a great job. He is exactly the kind of performer we were looking for. Everyone kept commenting to me, "Where did you find this guy?, He's good!" We are discussing another event already and planning to book him again.

Jeff was perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception! His play list included everything from grunge to Frank Sinatra- my grandmother loved him and so did our wedding party (and my teenage cousins too). His performance of Peter, Paul, & Mary's "Wedding Song" was so breathtaking it brought tears.
Also, his professionalism and class absolutely complimented our wedding; we had many comments throughout the night about the high quality of the music and the politeness of the musician.
I highly recommend Jeff Marks for any event you're hosting!
Wedding•Reviewed on September 2, 2006•From Lakewood, NY
Jeff was PERFECT!
I first spoke with Jeff only a few weeks before my wedding and am still amazed at how absolutely wonderful he was!
He provided me with an extensive song list from which I could omit any songs that I wanted and he also learned some special songs that were important to my family and me.
It rained the entire day of my OUTSIDE wedding and Jeff was so accomodating and easy-going with everything. He was never once a bother and performed exactly as I had hoped. He played an acoustic set before and after the ceremony and then started with the reception music that immediately followed the ceremony which also was located in a different area on teh property. I don't know how he did it!
As, disorganized as everything on my wedding day was, Jeff's performance was seamless. He had a uncanny understanding as to what the guests were looking to hear and at what moment. He took requests all night and always made sure that they were okay-ed by me. Whenever I wanted a certain song played, all I had to was let him know and it followed the song he was currently playing. He also acted as an impromptu DJ, announcing our first dance and cake-cutting. He would let me know when he would be taking a break, as well as let me know and approve the CD he would play during the break.
Aside, from his professionalism and easy-going personality... Jeff Marks put on a fabulous show. Everyone commented all night long about how great he was and how the music was absolutely perfect. I was so proud of how much everyone loved him. From The Beatles and Eric Clapton to Incubus and Dave Matthews... young and old alike, were completely impressed with his talent and music selection. He really did create the atmosphere for the entire night... he was exceptional!
Picnic•Reviewed on August 20, 2006•From Medina, OH
Jeff arrived early and in spite of delayed setup (our fault - caused by our groups lack of knowledge regarding the electricity switches,) he remained calm and supportive and dug in to help figure out the puzzle. He then proceeded to wow us with his expansive repertoire of oldies. His performance really put just the right touch on our reunion. He even brought along some big band cds to play on the short break (which we insisted he take.) When it came to answereing questions about old song stylists and composers, he really knows his stuff. Jeff is a great singer/guitarist and a nice guy too! We would hire him again with no hesitation.

Jeff was fantastic. We booked him only a week before our wedding, yet he still was able to learn a special song for us. He showed up plenty early and set up his equipment without needing a lot of assistance or attention from us. We asked him to put together a playlist based only on a few vague directions, and the result was great. One of our guests spent half the wedding entranced by Jeff because he was so impressed with his guitar skills. I would highly recommend Jeff for weddings or any other occasion.

We were truly pleased with the performance of Jeff Marks at our wedding reception!! We felt as if we were taking a chance as far as hiring someone from the web who we'd never heard of or seen, but what a pleasant surprise!! On top of an EXTENSIVE song list, he was more than willing to learn any song for our special occasion. He worked with the reception manager and, most importantly, played and sang beautifully. We had many, many compliments on our selection of entertainment. In fact, we are making a point to see him perform at other venues.
We could not be more satisified with Jeff Marks!! Thanks!
