Mark Anthony Cruz

y professional and easy to work with. I am so appreciative he was our ceremony guitarist!

reception (brunch wedding so we wanted to keep the vibe mellow and Austin-y). We couldn't have made a better choice as it turned out just how we wanted it to! Mark is very prompt to reply to e-mails and flexible as well, which I really appreciated. You definitely cannot go wrong with Mark!

so experienced and such a professional, that we left it to him as to what he played for ceremony prelude music, as well as at the reception. Many of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed his music, as did we! As for our one included special request, we asked Mark to play and sing "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar from the Juno soundtrack. He replied that he would have to learn the song, but it was no problem. It turned out great, and he sung it in lieu of one of the readings during our ceremony. Due to some unforeseen staffing changes at our reception venues, we had to change our plan slightly and Mark was great about rolling with the changes. The only slight problem I had was with Mark's responsiveness at the very beginning when I was trying to initially get hold of him. However, it was the beginning of the semester at Texas State where Mark is a professor, so I kind of chalked up the lack of responsiveness to the flurry of start-of-semester activity, because all the rest of the time he was great about responding. Having taught a college course myself, I know how busy it can be. I was just really sold on Mark's talent and ability after listening to samples on the internet and I just couldn't see hiring anyone else.
