Marquee Events Reviews

Reviewed On 8/16/2022 by Megan W

I was completely blown away by the incredible service provided by Tyson with Marquee Events. Not only was the dance floor packed all night long, but the set up, preparation, and service was better than anything we could've imagined. He kept us ...

on track with our song lists weeks before the wedding, graciously provided clear direction to our slightly unruly wedding party, and seamlessly made last minute adjustments to our order of events when we had a change of plans. We had a lot of audio and video incorporated in our reception as well and he assisted tremendously with all of that. He took time to coordinate with our other vendors as well! I truly can't speak more highly of Marquee Events. It felt like we were his only clients with how much time and energy he spent making sure we felt good going into our day. Marquee Events is luxury set up AND luxury service, I can't recommend Tyson enough!
