Could not thank Marc enough for his fantastic playing through our ceremony. He was timely, professional, and his music made me so emotional. He was incredible. I also thought he wa...

s very affordable! My Husband and I were not planning to do any musicians at our wedding but when we heard Marc playing at an event at our venue, I couldn't resist. I had to convince my Fiance to let me add him to the budget and am so glad I did! His communication was punctual, he is very organized, and he worked great with our Dj! We set up our ceremony where my goofy older brothers walked out to a song by the DJ to set the mood and then we had Marc play and it worked seemlessly. Can't say enough good things. Also - our guests really enjoyed Marc and commented on how beautiful it was.

Marc is such a genuine and talented soul. We feel so fortunate to have had him play at our wedding. He was responsive, friendly, and learned numerous songs to play at our wedding! ...

I was unsure what music we wanted to use and he was with me every step of the way, sending me recordings of what each song would sound like. I recommend to all who want live music at their wedding!!!

bly talented, and extremely helpful in selecting the perfect music for each moment of the day. During the ceremony, the cello music created the most romantic and emotional atmosphere. Marc performed the processional and recessional songs beautifully, and even composed a custom arrangement for my walk down the aisle that made the moment feel so personal and emotional. It was everything I had imagined, elegant, heartfelt, perfectly timed, and more! After the ceremony, he continued to play during our cocktail hour, providing a stunning mix of classical pieces and modern favorites that set the perfect tone for guests to mingle and enjoy the evening. The music added so much warmth and sophistication. It felt like being in the middle of a live soundtrack to one of the best days of our lives. We received countless compliments from our guests about how moving and memorable the music was. Marc truly went above and beyond to make every moment feel special, and we’re endlessly grateful. If you’re looking for a musician who can elevate your wedding with emotion, elegance, and talent, look no further, Marc is absolutely exceptional.

ofessional and easy to talk to! He makes you feel less pressured to decide songs right away and is easy to communicate with. I really liked how seamless his process is, the ease he put on me as a client with his “I got this” attitude and he also brings all his own equipment!! No need to rely on a DJ for their equipment. On the day of my wedding, Marc came on time, did his thing and even a month after my wedding, all my family and friends continue to ask who the cellist was and where did I find him! If you’re looking for live music to set the mood, this is the guy for you! A professional, on time and super sweet!

el so they would work on strings, and it made our ceremony feel so special and customized. He was really easy to work with, kept in great communication, and was also very sweet. He worked with us ahead of time over the phone to get the timing and pacing just right for our ceremony and made great recommendations based on his extensive experience. He also did a great job picking out songs to play before and after our ceremony. I can't recommend him enough! His rate was also very fair. We were shocked we could get such a talented musician to play our wedding for such a reasonable price.

lay four songs during the ceremony and he learned and/or arranged them very well. He is a true virtuoso and was a pleasure to work without throughout the planning process. We never had to worry about him, which was not true of some of our other vendors! We will forever remember the sound of "Us" by Regina Spektor leading us into our married lives, as interpreted on Marc's beautiful cello
