Celebration•Reviewed on October 25, 2013•From San Francisco, CA

Mark is outstanding. He did our first gene party at Cambrian Genomics---a corporate event. Great performer---willing to go out of his way to put on a show. Thanks Mark!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 1, 2013•From Glen Ellen, CA

Mark did a great job at our event. He showed up at the time he said he would, he played great music, and had a smile on his face the entire time. You can really tell that Mark loves what he does for a living and is an extremely talented musician. I highly recommend Mark for weddings.

Mark came to our event, set up quickly. and started playing right away. We all mingled and had a wonderful time as Mark played in the background. Everyone thought he was great! We would definitely use him again. Thanks Mark!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on September 9, 2013•From Calistoga, CA

Mark canceled nearly at the last minute for a better gig in Europe. We can's say that we blame him if it advances his career. We were able to find other entertainment through Gig Masters, which turned out fine.

:

I understand you being bitter, hurt and disappointed about me cancelling but It was last minute if you consider 14 days last minute. I gave u 14days notice and I had a great subsitute but you refused. I would have loved to play at your event.It was not personal. I feel bad that you find it neccesary to give me a bad review, But I believe You really shouldnt even be able to rate me as I never worked for you. very sincerly, Mark

Wedding•Reviewed on August 17, 2013•From Sonoma, CA

Mark never did the job for us. He called a day before our wedding that he wouldn't be able to do the job! What's worse, he cashed the check for the payment of a job he never completed. Although he mailed another check after being asked several times, he almost ruined our wedding!

:

I called Ashley one week before her wedding, not one day and explained I had to go out of state to care for a terminally ill 91 year old family member. Besides giving her a week notice I found a very good guitarist friend of mine sub for me. According to him everyone was very pleased. I refunded her payment in full immediately without being asked. SO what this sais is Ashley is/was very dissapointed in me not being there Understood. But to lie about one day before and not giving her back her deposit? ALMOST RUINED THE WEDDING? REALLY? See my other reviews. I would say she is immature enough that she wants to damage my stellar reputation. Grow up.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 8, 2013•From Woodside, CA

Mark was great to work with, he was available and responsive. On the day of our event he was on-time and quickly set up and started playing. He had a friendly attitude and helped create a great mood for our guests. It was clear that Mark is an accomplished guitarist and impressed even my musician friends with this skills. I would not hesitate to use Mark for future events.

Trade Show•Reviewed on July 14, 2013•From San Francisco, CA

Mark did a really great job playing background music for our corporate event. I look forward to having Mark play again next time we have an event in San Francisco.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 10, 2013•From Little River, CA

Mark is a gifted guitarist. Unfortunately, a vehicle issue caused him to be late so he was unable to play at the cocktail hour preceeding our wedding. Being the bride, I was very disappointed about that but we created a Plan B and no one knew we had a glitch. Mark did make it just in time for the dinner hour so all was well. Mark also DJ'd our reception and my only complaint was that I had spent a good amount of time creating a play list of songs that I wanted played. Actually I removed a few from his list and added a few. I could be wrong but I don't think there was much change from his original list. We still had a great reception so it worked out.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 7, 2013•From Glen Ellen, CA

We were so glad we chose Mark Abdilla as the classical guitarist for our outdoor wedding! Mark's amazing talent was immediately obvious when I first checked out his youtube samples, (see links on his page) and hearing him in person was even more impressive! Mark's gorgeous classical guitar music was exactly the element we needed to make our outdoor wedding ceremony beautiful and unforgettable. He also has a wonderful, warm personality. My Dad and other wedding guests enjoyed talking with him before and after his performance. Mark was professional, responsive, and communicative with us throughout the process, and made it easy. We highly recommend him to all!

Mark performed at our wedding in Mill Valley on April 6 and was fantastic in every way. Easy to work with, responsive, professional, self-directed (when we wanted him to be) and collaborative, and his guitar playing is beautiful. He even DJ'd! Thanks Mark! Beatrice & Skip

Celebration•Reviewed on March 8, 2013•From San Jose, CA

Mark was perfection! As soon as we booked he was in contact answering all my questions - he played for a corporate event "Grand Opening" we did. All our guests commented on how good he was and how he kept the party upbeat - I will definitely use Mark again for our next event, and would recommend to anyone!! You won't be sorry!

Funeral•Reviewed on May 4, 2013•From Menlo Park, CA

He was extreamly accomodating, talented and professional. I asked him to "read the crowd" as it related to song choice, mood and sound level and he was perfect. I would highly recomend! Thank you Mark!

Retirement Party•Reviewed on January 30, 2013•From San Jose, CA

Mark was a delight to work with. He's very professional and has a warm manner about him. Mark played for a retirement party we planned and provided a variety of music that our guests, of all ages, could relate to and thoroughly enjoy. We would like to offer Mark the highest of recommendations and we will request him for any future events without hesitation. He's the best! Terry

Mark's beautiful music, warm manner and pleasant appearance was a great addition to our Holiday party. The volume was perfect to maintain an impressive presence without overwhelming conversation at the lively cocktail gathering.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 26, 2012•From Mill Valley, CA

I live in the Dallas area and got married in the Bay area. I relied heavily on communicating with Mark vua email and found him to be Very responsive, polite, and professional. Mark's guitar skills are second to none. Not only did he play at our ceremony but he also played for 3 hours following the ceremony during a cocktail hour and dinner. The dude is a true professional in every aspect and we were very happy with him. He made our day even more beautiful then we could have imagined. Thanks Mark!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on September 24, 2012•From Burlingame, CA

This was our third time hiring Mark to perform at our networking reception and as always, he was excellent. He arrived early to set up and was professional throughout. His selections for our event were perfect. Our guests always remark on what a fantastic musician he is. We will hire him again and again whenever we have a conference in the area.
