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 was 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 was incredible! From the moment we met him all the way through the ceremony! He went above and beyond to check in on us throughout leading up to the wedding. The best part was talking about music. He made sure to tell me "If I haven't played the song, I will learn it!" If you are looking for a special touch to your event, Marc is your guy! Marc, thank you for playing so beautifully it was everything we were hoping for and so much more!

Not only did Marc masterfully perform our chosen songs, but he went above and beyond, learning new pieces with grace and precision.

The atmosphere he created was nothing short of magical, captivating our guests and setting the perfect tone for our special day. We can't express enough gratitude for his incredible talent and professionalism. Five stars all the way!

We had the pleasure of having Marc and his violinist play at our wedding in Temecula. They played beautiful prelude music, our ceremony and cocktail hour. We received so many compliments from all the guests on their performance. Marc was so easy to work with and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend Marc and his team!! We truly could not have asked for anything better.

Marc played for our ceremony and cocktail hour in Indian Wells this February and totally crushed it! All the guests loved him and he set the mood for the event. He was easy to work with (via text /email) and he learned a new song for us (Levitating by Dua Lipa) with ease. Highly recommend!!

Marc played my wedding back in October 2022 and he was amazing! (This review is long overdue!) He was so responsive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and gave the ceremony and cocktail hour the exact feel I was wanting and my guests loved him. If you’re considering using him, do it! You’ll be very happy you did.

You will not find a more talented musician for your wedding! Marc was able to translate several of our favorite songs from The Postal Service, The Decemberists, and Simon & Garfunkel 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.

Marc was really amazing!
Marc was an indelible part of our wedding ceremony. First off, his look was both very cool and professional which was a good beginning. We requested he play 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

Andrew! It was a blast playing for you and Emily. Thank you so much for having me. Wishing...
you both a lifetime of happiness and growth together 🎶

Marc is an extremely talented and professional person, and adds such a mood of elegance to the room with his music. He was very on top of everything while still being such a fun and mellow guy, which really worked for all of us. He seems to care a lot about what he does, and was a delight to talk with, as well. Highly recommended!
