Mark was extremely ON IT from the moment he responded to my request. He was always quick in responding and he is extremely talented and easy to work with. He was an excellent addition to our evening!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 29, 2015•From Menlo Park, CA

We very much enjoyed Mark's guitar music at our event. He was delightful and a pleasure to meet. My only wish is that the venue had better acoustics so we could have enjoyed his music even more! (No fault of Mark's) Should the occasion arise, I would not hesitate contacting Mark again.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 16, 2015•From Woodside, CA

Mark was very friendly and accomodating. He had played Filoli Gardens before so he knew the parking area, where all the power for his equipment was. He set up and broke down his equipment in a timely fashion, and because of all this previous experience he made my job stress free. Everybody loved his musical selection and we would hire him for future events.

Wedding•Reviewed on November 9, 2014•From San Francisco, CA

Mark was very reassuring and responded to all my questions. He showed up to my wedding in san francisco during Halloween, the Giant's victory parade, and critical mass with all the gear he needed to perform.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 28, 2014•From Tahoe City, CA

My husband and I were impressed with Mark from the moment we reached out to him inquiring about playing for our wedding ceremony! He was quick to respond to emails, answered all our questions, and was super helpful in picking the perfect music for our ceremony. Mark is an incredibly gifted guitarist!! His talent is second to none- absolutely AMAZING!! Mark also provided the microphone and speakers for our ceremony.. the sound system was clear and loud enough for our guests to hear every word! Our guests told us how perfect the music was for our ceremony and were couldn't have been happier! We recommend Mark fully to anyone looking for a guitarist, he is the best!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 30, 2014•From Sonoma, CA

Mark delivered an amazing performance for our wedding ceremony and reception. We had initially hired him for 1.5 hours to perform during our ceremony and cocktail reception but he was flexible when we asked him to stay during our entire dinner as well. His music and the addition of having live music at our wedding truly made our day special and looking back, it was one of my favorite things about the day. Thanks Mark!

Mark is not only a talented musician, but a delightful person. Communication was good and Mark was able to perfectly set the mood and tone for a wonderful afternoon. His music elevated a backyard gathering to a memorable event. Thank you Mark

Engagement Party•Reviewed on November 18, 2013•From Atherton, CA

Mark was the perfect guitarist for our event!! He is so talented, friendly and accommodating. He went over and beyond for us with all the music he has to draw from. He plays beautifully and was a delight to work with. His music helped make our engagement party a very special night. We look forward to working with him again. Thank you, Mark!!

Club Event•Reviewed on November 19, 2013•From Monterey, CA

Mark was amazing. He arrived early to set-up and made sure he understood the flow of the evening before beginning his performance. His music was the perfect accent to our evening and the members thoroughly enjoyed his music. Thank you Mark!!

Wine Tasting Party•Reviewed on November 11, 2013•From Sonoma, CA

Mark was great! he played for us twice this fall. He came early both times to set-up, was totally prepared, played for longer than the contract and brought great enthusiasm to the music and our events!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on December 2, 2013•From San Francisco, CA

I'm writing this review well after a month of our event, but the memories of its success is still talked about by the family. Mark made the special evening, even more so by providing the music that made everyone feel very special, happy and unique. Our 50th anniversary celebration, with family from all over the US and outside was brought together by beautiful and timeless guitar pieces. The difference in language and tastes melted once the music and celebration started. Overall the evening, the occasion, the food and wine and the music, made this an unforgettable affair. Thank you Mark very much for your time with us.

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.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 21, 2013•From Santa Clara, CA

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

Mark was really great. He gave a great performance and many people made positive comments about the music.

Review by Ashley S.

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.
