We hired Alexandre Marr to play at my son’s wedding 10/3/26 during the ceremony and cocktail hour along with a cellist and violinist. Not only did Alexandre Marr not show up but he...
also substituted the cellist with a viola player. He didn’t notify us of any of these changes and didn’t answer his phone when I tried to contact him before the ceremony. There is a huge difference between the sound of a cello and a viola. I’m really quite surprised at how unprofessional Alexandre Marr is given his previous reviews. In my opinion the music is the most important part of a wedding. I would not recommend hiring Alexandre Marr unless you don’t mind him substituting with random musicians and instruments. We paid $2450 for a very disappointing experience
Alexandre Marr played beautifully at our wedding in June! For the ceremony he collaborated with violinist Jahna Stanton and cellist Brendon Phelps. They prepared beautiful gatherin...
g music and played my chosen selections for processional and postlude. As a fellow classical pianist, Alexandre made sure all the selections were approved by me first, which I really appreciated. He was very flexible and easy to communicate with from the beginning, and even pre-ceremony as the coordinator and I were giving him updates about when the bridal party was ready to start walking down. He was very flexible and professional. He also played during the cocktail hour with Miss Stanton, and our guests were delighted to hear the live music as they waited for the dinner to start. I highly recommend Alexandre Marr - he has a wide range of repertoire of different styles and genres, he is well connected with the musical community in the greater Cleveland area, easy to collaborate and work with, and his playing is of the highest quality.
You need to book Alex! He is such a wonderful and very professional pianist. It was wonderful because we also wanted a violinist and he has partners he works with to put together a...
ny ensemble you’re looking for. I had a different request to walk down the aisle to a Backstreet Boys song and he went above and beyond to slow it down to be the perfect tempo. It sounded beautiful and it made for instant tears. He was even flexible enough to add on the cocktail hour last minute as well. He was such an easy vendor to work with and took a huge weight off of my shoulders during the planning process.
Everyone at the ceremony and cocktail hour loved Alex! he did an awesome job and is a true showman ! he knew all the songs i wanted already. As a bride I was so sad to not get to s...
ee him play since I was busy with other parts of the wedding. but, I would def recommend for any bride needing a pianist :)
Alexandre played for our daughter's wedding and was superb. A violinist he knows accompanied him for the ceremony - it was a wonderful addition. Alexandre played for the cocktail...
, as well. I highly recommend him, as he was very easy to work with. He's very professional and very talented!
I chose to have Alexandre as our pianist for our vow renewal ceremony after I did some research on line and around our area for a pianist who could provide a specific mood prior to...
our ceremony that I had in mind...meditative, joyful, and serene. I listened to his demos on his site. Once I heard his improv of "Jesu...," I knew he was just the one that could improvise to some of the original songs from our wedding and some newly chosen ones to play as our guests arrived and took their seats. I had not even met him in person prior to the day of our event but we did have some conversations via phone/e-mail. We met just prior to his entering the sanctuary to begin playing. I immediately made a mental note of how delightfully friendly and a real "class act," he is, as well. I hid in a place where I could hear him but others couldn't see me prior to the ceremony and was so blown away at his talent and what he did with the song list I provided him that I almost missed my cue to get ready to enter the sanctuary. I just wanted to stay there and continue to listen. Do not hesitate to hire Alexandre Marr! He has it all!
Alex is an amazing musician, and anyone would be lucky to have him play their event! Alex helped me put together my event and worked with me to create a lineup of songs that worked...
great for our event. I would work with him again in a second.
We hired Alex as the pianist for our daughter's wedding. He was professional, on time, kind and above else, his skill is phenomenal. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him ...
to anyone that wants their wedding to be over the top.
