Professionally, Marco was a pro - he was early to my event and easy to work with. Artistically, Marco was amazing! He was perfect for our event. I pass on my highest recommendation for Marco and I look forward to another opportunity for Marco's talents.

Marco made our wedding day so very special. He played exactly what I had asked him to at our ceremony and did an amazing job at our reception, playing a little of everything... just as I had suggested. His professionalism, promptness and lovely personality were unmatched. If ever I need an EXTREMELY talented musician for any future events, I will not hesitate to hire Marco again. We loved your talent Marco!!! Thanks again!! Warmest regards, The Joneses

Marco is very talented and was a pleasure to work with.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 2, 2007•From Arlington, WA

Marco was absolutely wonderful. We had hired him for pre and post ceremony music at our wedding, and at the last minute a friend who was playing during the ceremony had to back out. Not only was Marco able to play that piece as well, he did a tremendous job. We were absolutely thrilled with Marco, and would give our unqualified recommendation to anyone looking to boor a guitarist. He was fabulous.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 9, 2006•From Woodinville, WA

Marco is an extremely talented musician and a very pleasant person to work with. He provided very beautiful solo guitar during our wedding ceremony and also displayed his talent and repertoire during our cocktail hour. Many of our guests made a point to comment on his playing. We would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Marco, we hope we cross paths with you again sometime soon! Cheers, Rob and Chantelle McCall

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 18, 2006•From Seattle, WA

Marco was fabulous! He played for several hours at a birthday party -- his music was perfect for the event.

Review by Dennis W.

Country Club Event•Reviewed on November 16, 2005•From Bellevue, WA

Marco was marvelous. His ability to play Brazilian Classical Guitar is stellar. I do not believe we wold have been better served if we had hired Jobim. The audience loved him. We have him permanently inscribed in our hearts and our recommended performers booking book. We meet monthly, and try to vary the performers to reach all of our audience. So we shall definitely have Marco back sometime in the near future.

Review by Brad F.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 4, 2005•From Seattle, WA

Marco performed at our wedding, playing a processional, recessional, and then providing music for about one hour and fifteen minutes afterward while guests had champagne, mingled, etc. Marco did a fantastic job and we and our guests were very pleased. I would definitely recommend Marco.

Review by Todd G.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 1, 2007•From Fox Island, WA

Marco was great. He played a classical accoustic set during our wedding ceremony. Then he moved outside and played a Latin Jazz amplified accoustic set during our reception. He even let us use his microphone for our toasts, which was unexpected but very nice. I have many friends who are also musicians and they kept coming up to me to tell me how much they appreciated the quality of music I had for my wedding. Thanks to Marco for adding to our special day.

Marco was absolutely great. We used him for our office Holiday party which was perfect for our small group. He really set the mood for an enjoyable night. I will definitely use his services again.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 7, 2007•From Anacortes, WA

Marco was a great addition to our wedding. He provided excellent entertainment and was amazingly talented. However, a few days before the event I tried calling Marco to double check that he would be there and I didn't receive a phone call back. I wasn't positive that he would be there until he drove up. I would recommend that he return calls promptly in the future. Marco was polite and blended in very well with the party. I would recommend him to anyone!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 11, 2008•From Seattle, WA

In terms of professionalism, Mr. De Carvalho had no interest in meeting to discuss the wedding arrangements or providing us a list or sampling of music prior to the service. I simply had no say in what songs I would walk down the aisle to and was asked to simply trust his selections. This created an unnecessary stressor. Mr. De Carvalho is undeniably a talented musician. However as a business man, his ability to accommodate to the requests of the customer are very limited.

:

I take the satisfaction of my clients very seriously and the comments made by Ms. O'Connell are quite surprising to me given our communication prior to the event. I told her if she wanted a specific song to provide me a CD, which she did not do. I told her I have an extensive repertoire and to come see me at one of my numerous public performances, which she did not do. Had she made a specific request I would have accommodated her but no request was made. She asked me to come to her room just prior to the ceremony to play for her and her husband the song I planned to play for the processional, which I did and they loved it. So I think her comments are unjustified.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 15, 2020•From Woodinville, WA

Marco was wonderful! He was very easy to work with ahead of time and he arrived to the event early and got set up quickly. His music was beautiful. He helped create such a lovely atmosphere-- perfect for our backyard wedding. Our guests raved about him.

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 6, 2019•From Gig Harbor, WA

We hired Marco for an event and he was fabulous! He arrived early to set up, and was extremely professional. His music sounded beautiful and he accommodated our request for some holiday music in addition to his usual set. I would whole heartedly recommend Marco for your event!

We could not have been more pleased with Marco's performance, demeanor or professionalism at our event. He played to a room full of the area's industry leaders and did so with grace and style. Marco arrived on time, set up and was ready to play when guests arrived. His music selection was excellent and added a lovely ambiance to the event.
