About this vendor
I am a classical guitar soloist. I've been playing for more than 50 years and during all that time, I have played at weddings, restaurants, and other public gatherings.
Since I began performing, I have been gratified to see the delight and pleasure on the faces of the wedding guests and wedding party.
As I am a solo performer, your dollars go a long way as you are not paying multiple players. I am very cost effective, compared with larger ensembles and you will find the fee for my service to be very competitive.
Please contact me, or click on the link to my website for details, a listing of my current repertoire, and videos of my playing.

Marc was a joy to work with: he was quick to respond to every email, detail-oriented, and did everything he could to help on our big day. Thanks again, Marc!
Marc is a very talented musician with an impressive repertoire. He played exactly what we asked for perfectly and even improvised some unplanned music during an unexpected pause in the ceremony; one of our guests fainted due to heat stroke, he was fine, but 911 was called and we and our guests were a bit shaken. Before the ceremony resumed Marc played some calming music to ease everyone's nerves and help us transition back into the ceremony. He's also extremely friendly and easy to talk to!
Marc played for us at a retirement event for two close friends. He was extremely professional and accommodating, and played beautifully! I couldn't recommend him more.
Marc drove three hours each way to play for our daughter’s outdoor wedding. He was punctual, very professional, and his music was lovely! I could have listened all night. The only disappointment was Mother Nature delaying the wedding with rain for over an hour, making it necessary to end the pre-reception cocktail hour far too soon. Marc’s beautiful music was just getting into full swing! You will not be disappointed with Marc. I highly recommend him for your wedding or other intimate event.
Marc is one of the kindest, warmest, most genuine, enthusiastic, and talented individuals on this planet! His guitar playing is out of this world! My husband and I first heard Marc play at our favorite restaurant, Piatanzi. We had a small intimate wedding at a house near Santa Fe and walked down the aisle to Canon in D major, and now when I listen to Marc's recording on his CD, it brings tears to my eyes. Marc serenaded our guests through dinner and went above and beyond in every aspect. He is such a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend him enough if you want to wow your guests. We had multiple guests compliment his playing and ask how we found him. Truly, Marc is a gem and made our wedding absolutely magical!
Marc was even better than we had hoped! He was just the touch we were looking for at our ceremony, dinner, and the beginning of our reception. He arrived early and stayed late, and was so gracious from start to finish. His musical skills are impressive, and his repertoire includes a range of Spanish guitar and classical music that made for a most pleasant ambience. We truly enjoyed having him be part of our special day and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a guitarist!
Sometimes people underestimate the power of music. When we are absorbed in a suspenseful scene out of a movie, we are not consciously aware of the background music that adds so much to the mood. The same held true at the renewal of our wedding vows for our 25th anniversary. When we walked down the aisle for this occasion, we were accompanied by the brilliant guitar work provided by Marc Friedlander. His contribution to the setting is subtle, but not lacking the importance and credit it deserves. Marc shows amazing versatility and ability to adapt to the needs and wants of the wedding planners. He handles these important decisions with the utmost respect and professionalism. His technical ability is superior and his fingerwork, mesmerizing.
He knows how to set just the right tone for the appropriate parts of the wedding. Marc played during our cocktail hour also. His song selection was impeccable and his execution equally pleasing. If you are in the market for someone to handle live music for your wedding, look no further. Marc is the man who will get the job done so you can truly enjoy your special day.
Marc played at our wedding and it was so beautiful! The song I entered to was Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by JS Bach and i'll never forget walking down the aisle. We got married on the edge of Lake Tahoe and the only thing that was as magical as the setting (and my husband) was Marc's playing.
Marc's repertoire is really big, so we had a lot of wonderful choices, that included traditional wedding songs, but also many others.
Marc also played for the guests before we walked down the aisle, but I didn't hear that part. Others said it was beautiful. :)
Marc is easy to work with and an extremely skilled musician. I would recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful guitar and a lovely person to work with.
His repertoire was huge, so he was able to play our favorite pieces. He has a lovely sound, a very calming presence, and was a great addition to our ceremony.
He played for the guests before the ceremony and after. It really made our day so much more special.
