Review by Paul N.

Celebration•Reviewed on September 17, 2012•From Vallejo, CA

We were very happy with Mark and his performance. He made our party a big success. We had a backyard birthday party for 50 people with a Mexican Fiesta theme. His music was perfect and many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed his playing. We would definately recommend him and hire him again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 5, 2023•From Sonoma, CA

We appreciated Mark's talent and musical contribution to the event. Prior to the event, he was non-responsive and very difficult to contact. I eventually had to contact Bash in order to reach Mark. At the event, although he arrived on time and set-up on time, he was sitting in his car when the event started and guests arrived, including the guest of honor. I had to go look for him which was extremely disappointing.

:

The client is right in that I was early as always (being professional as I am)andI set up my equipment and was ready to go 15 minutes early as always.. I went to my car to retrieve some piece of equipment at which point he approached me and Ridley said, “what are you doing.?” This was actually prior to the guests arriving. As far as not being able to contact me prior to the event, he tried to call me one time which I missed the call as I was at a performance and could pick up.. there were no other attempts by emails after that. The guests were very kind and really enjoyed the music however, I would never work for this client agai

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 12, 2012•From San Francisco, CA

Mark performed for our San Francisco City Hall Wedding and I'm so happy he worked with us. He was on time, professional, and played beautifully. I was so nervous to hire someone sight unseen, but I am so happy Mark was part of our day.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 22, 2012•From Mill Valley, CA

Mark's performance at my wedding was outstanding. I'm so grateful that he learned a handful of new songs just for the event itself. Walking down the aisle to "Here Comes the Sun" definitely fulfilled a wedding fantasy of mine, so thank you!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 9, 2012•From South Lake Tahoe, CA

Mark was wonderful. He was incredibly accommodating (we had him play in three different places), possesses an enormous range (classical spanish to classic rock), and was professional as well as personable. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music. He added exactly what anyone would ask for in a wedding musician, to enhance the atmosphere and bring the joy of the occasion to life. We absolutely recommend Mark and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Mark did a great job. The music was a perfect match for our Spanish wine tasting event and overall he was a pleasure to work with.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 17, 2012•From Kenwood, CA

Mark was great! Beautiful music, really nice guy and very accomodating. Many of our guests came up to me at the party to say how great the music was. He was professional, let us use his mic for some toasts, and was great with the guests. I will definitely use Mark again for another event.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 4, 2012•From Sonoma, CA

Mark played at my wedding ceremony and reception and his musical talent and professionalism were excellent. First, his guitar playing is at a very high level and his sense of playing the right song at the right time showed that he has a lot of experience. Beyond that, he really made an effort to help us make our wedding a great experience and really cares about his clients/customer's needs. His flexibility and support were very helpful. I highly recommend Mark!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 28, 2012•From Sonoma, CA

When we arrived at the Depot, Mark was already set up and waiting for the queue to start! Very professionally dressed, professional character and very accommodating to my guests who asked him to play some special request songs. As the bride, I was busy taking photos and running around so I didn't have a chance much to just sit there and listen to Mark, but I know his music was very soothing to my soul and helped calm me tremendously. I would, without a doubt, highly recommend Mark's services to anyone. He was absolutely fabulous!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 19, 2012•From San Francisco, CA

Mark arrived early to our event even if was pouring outside. He was very professional and friendly. We had him play flamenco music which our guests and our office enjoyed very much. He was very accomodating and was very aware of the acoustics in our office which helps the sounds travel to the entire floor. Great job Mark.

Mark was fantastic! His professionalism and personal attention to the mood of the evening was a perfect balance to his amazing talent. Our guests all commented on how much they enjoyed Mark's playing and music selection. I look forward to hiring him for our next event.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on October 9, 2011•From Sacramento, CA

We are pleased to provide feedback on Mark Abdilla. From our first communication to the day of our vow renewal, he has been both caring and professional. He was very accomodating of special requests and easily adapted to any last-second changes. We were so pleased on our vow renewal day to have our family members tell us how impressed they were with his performance. Mark is a true master of his craft and a virtuoso on the classical guitar. We loved working with him and we would recommend Mark to anybody else looking for a professional and talented classical guitarist. - - - - Ruben and Amber C.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 5, 2011•From Geyserville, CA

Mark was a spectacular musician for our wedding ceremony. He played all of our requests beautifully and was such a professional! I would recommend Mark to play for any of my friends events, he was so kind, fun, and above all he was an excellent performer.

Review by Marti S.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 27, 2011•From San Francisco, CA

Everyone at the event loved the music Mark performed! He is a professional in every sense of the word. Mark arrived on time, and is both talented and attentive to his audience. We could not have been more thrilled with any other performer. We would definitely hire him again.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 12, 2011•From San Jose, CA

Our party was a hit because of Mark's talent. It was a celebration of 25 years wedding anniversary and he arrived on time, set-up was quick and he began playing before our guests arrived; therefore, when guests did arrive the music added to an upbeat party. Many of our guests mingled with Mark after he stopped playing for the evening. Everyone said they had a great time and was impressed with Mark's talent; they went home feeling good about how they spent thier evening. Stephen~

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 24, 2011•From Benicia, CA

If there were a level above perfection, that's where i would put Mark. He showed up early, set up quickly and did exactly what we wanted with very little input from us. Our wedding was arranged in a matter of a few weeks and Mark did everything he could to accommodate our needs. I spent some time chatting with him while he was packing up and leaving and he is a very nice guy. Friendly and warm. You would be foolish not to hire Mark for your event. Hope to see you if you make it to Belfast Mark. Take care friend and thank you so much for everything.

Mark made this process very easy to use. He was punctual and chose a very appropriate song selection. Our guests really enjoyed the music and I was appreciative of how smoothly everything turned out.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on January 24, 2011•From Santa Clara, CA

Mark was a complete pleasure to work with during our recent company party. Mark was prompt, understood our requirements and was flexible in meeting our requests. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a live acoustic guitar performer.

Community Event•Reviewed on November 8, 2010•From Los Gatos, CA

Mark was wonderful! He really went above and beyond to accommodate our music requests. He spent a huge amount of time before the event working through the music so we would be happy. He is a talented, enthusiastic professional and just a really nice guy. HIghly recommended!!
