Private Party•Reviewed on April 1, 2019•From Napa, CA

Memorial Service•Reviewed on March 6, 2019•From Castro Valley, CA

Mark was very personable and professional. Upon deciding that he would be the guitarist for my husband's memorial service, Mark personally called me and asked about my husband. We spoke and the conversation flowed to the point that I felt I had made the right choice. He arrived on time and was very discreet and let me tend to my guests. He just knew what to do without me having to tell him anything. Definitely would recommend Mark.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on August 15, 2018•From Novato, CA

One suggestion, the amp should be a higher quality for a more clear and crisp sound...

Celebration•Reviewed on September 16, 2019•From Concord, CA

Mark was prompt, provided appropriate music, skill level was good, his audio equipment was good and he was sensitive to the requirements of the space and attendees. I would retain him again. My only suggestion is that his clothes, although appropriate, could have been more professional for this type of event , ie, all black or black and white.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 20, 2017•From Petaluma, CA

Five stars all the way! Mark even played music for a Flamenco Dance Performance I booked separately. I hired him to play for the cocktail hour through dinner and then for the performance ... I would hire him again in a heartbeat! He selected the perfect combination of music for the three stages of the party.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 30, 2017•From Paso Robles, CA

Mark's music was excellent. He arrived on time and performed beautifully. He was quick to respond to emails and communicated well. Professional and clearly passionate about his craft. I would recommend him for your wedding or any event you are planning. You won't be disappointed!!

Mark was definitely a highlight of our day. He was warm, punctual, professional and an amazing performer. We will hire him again. My mother is already seeking him out for an event she is hosting.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 15, 2016•From Oakland, CA

Mark was easy to work with, prompt, and very respectful at our party. I would highly recommend him for a party where you want beautiful background music that is noticeable but not distracting!

Private Party•Reviewed on November 21, 2016•From Oakland, CA

Mark was amazing. Truly gifted artist. This was a special evening to share with family and friends before the holiday rush begins. A chance to take a moment, to just be together and share a meal. He helped set the tone and atmosphere for the evening, and it was a huge success. My guests loved him and could not get enough. He took special requests and blended them seamlessly. He played exquisitely! Sheer perfection! He ended the evening with a piece he had written that was just lovely. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend him!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 10, 2016•From Woodside, CA

:

I spoke with Janine at least 8 times in a matter of four weeks prior to the wedding ,and actually made a point to meet in person which most clients do not request. I played all of the songs that were asked of me, I set up at the wedding earlier than aked, and actually played longer than our contract time. I guess were overwhelmingly pleased with the performance .

Exceeded our expectations - a true professional!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 22, 2016•From Moraga, CA

Mark was an absolute joy to work with and was an incredibly calm presence throughout the planning of our wedding. We were initially impressed with his online reviews, but it was his talent that sent us over the edge. He was a bright star at our ceremony and played beautifully during our dinner reception before a flawless transition to our DJ and dancing. Everyone told us how much they loved his playing and spoke glowingly of it. Mark is indeed a warm and generous spirit and we are truly grateful for his talent. We would absolutely recommend him 100%.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 13, 2016•From Carmel, CA

Mark was incredible. Not only is he talented but very accommodating and thoughtful. He worked with us on a few special requests and even collaborated with the venue's pianist on a last minute duet for our first date that was a wonderful surprise. Can't say enough great things about Mark.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 20, 2016•From Yosemite National Park, CA

Mark is very talented (checkout YouTube) ..... It was a challenging venue on a busy day (Yosemite national park) and he was 30 minutes late. My guests seemed not to notice which was good. He played for all the agreed upon time and many compliments from guests. He is extremely pleasant if a little bit scattered so it did take effort from me to firm up details etc. I had some concerns going into the event which is never good. Recomend him but be very specific about needs, venues, timing, etc.

:

I was actually early, but the host was nowhere to be found. The Yosemite hotel is very large.) she said she was going to meet me in the lobby at a specific time.not only was she not there, she gave no info to anybody on staff where she was or where I should go.However, I did get started on the dot, and yes there were a few guests who arrived early. her guests were so ecstatic, She in fact asked me to Play 30 minutes extra. I obliged And did not charge her a single penny extra. That being said this host seems to be someone that would have wanted me to also play EARLY as well as at the end (30 minutes) and not pay for it. She promised a meal which I never go

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 17, 2016•From Moraga, CA

Mark is great! I hired him for my parents' 60 wedding anniversary party. All I wanted was some nice background music to add a relaxed atmosphere for the party attendees to enjoy and Mark delivered. I got many comments after the party about how much people enjoyed Mark's musicianship, and I was especially impressed by his professionalism and accommodation: he came early to the party start time to set up, he needed very little direction, required no special attention or accessories (just an outlet to plug into), and he was very open to requests throughout the day. His professional dress and presentation is great. I recommend him unreservedly. 5 starts all around!
