Marquise Pro

from so far away. Marquise certainly delivered! I cannot tell you how many people texted rave reviews about the band and the dancing the next day!! We also had the sax during cocktail hour and dinner which was fabulous! Not too loud for conversation. He was organized and led us through the planning portion well via a few zoom meetings, since we were remote. I appreciated that he gave my fiancé and I as much say as we wanted in the music, but then gladly took over when we were getting decision fatigue and just made the party happen. You will not regret hiring Marquise, he is such a rockstar!!!! Thank you Marquise! Olivia and Andrew

another wedding that he is playing at. He is so talented! He was the perfect amount of class and FUN. He brought the party! Plus he is just one of the most genuinely kind people we have worked with. He went out of his way to truly get to know us before the big day, and it made it so sweet. I am truly so very grateful for him, he was one of the best parts of our day and made it unforgettable! I highly, highly, highly recommend it! Book Marquise!!!!!!

nce floor was changing “Marquise” 2 times! Highly recommend! We would give more than 5 stars if we could!

at loves live music but also loves edm/house music, we had a tough decision choosing between a band or DJ. Ultimately, we chose to go the DJ route and went with Dan Quinn who referred Marquise for live sax to give us the best of both worlds. We booked both and it was hands down THEEEE best decision we made for the entertainment of our night! These two are an insane duo you MUST book! Marquise had the incredibly important (and often underrated) role of setting the tone for the entire evening. Upon arrival, the first interaction our guests had when walking into the venue was Marquise playing live sax. SO MANY guests were wowed by this detail which immediately set the bar for the night. He played everything from classics to modern songs, and kept the room lively for the entire hour. Our dream was to have a pre-dinner dance set, but needed to build the excitement before the doors to the reception opened so people would be ready to dance. We relied solely on Marquise for this during the cocktail hour. We never told him what to play or do, we just showed up that day and he had executed EVERYTHING we envisioned perfectly. Marquise knew exactly what to play to keep things classy and fun, but most importantly, he played the right songs and engaged with the guests to build that excitement for the pre-dinner dancing. During dinner, having Marquise accompany our DJ was the nicest touch. Knowing we’d be focusing the latter half of the night to clubby music, we wanted to give the older crowd that live music performance, and having the sax was perfect. We never felt like we needed any other instruments - he held his own, and the fact that he could play to any and every song was so so impressive for anyone to watch and enjoy. The best part of dinner was when he did a saxogram which got all the older couples out on the dance floor to share a dance with us - this is a memory we’ll never forget!! If you think playing from cocktail hour through a two hour dinner was enough, it wasn’t. Marquise played throughout the ENTIRE reception, moving through the crowd, playing directly to our guests, and killinggg his solo moments. Having him there made our guests’ and our experience SO much more special. It’s so important for guests to be engaged during songs that they might not be familiar with, and having Marquise on the dance floor allowed that. The dance floor was filled the entire night with guests of all ages, which was all we wanted. If you are wondering whether or not you need live sax, just do it. Every one of our guests left the wedding weekend talking about Marquise and how incredible he was throughout the night. For us, almost every favorite/special moment we shared during our reception included him. You will not regret booking him!!! We love you Marquise!!!! - Kenny & San

g day perfect so clear through the entire process. We had a meeting about a month out to make sure that we were all on the same page. Come to the day of he was amazing!! We had him running with ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and send off all in different places in the venue it was a seamless transition between them all. I surprised my husband with Marquise playing the saxophone and everyone was blown away. He went above and beyond with how well he dismissed people to eat. The dance floor was pack ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! We have had so many people reach out to tell us how amazing he was and many ask for his information to book him! He can read a room like no other I’ve ever seen and did everything we asked for and more! We could go on forever about how incredible he is! If there is ever another time I need a DJ I’m calling him! Our venue and photographer both recommended him as the best person to work with!

to get them on the dance floor if that is what you want. We had a small wedding but I expressed to Marquise that it was important to me to still have people dancing because I love to dance! He said to me "you get on that dance floor and I'll deliver the rest, don't worry" and he did just that. From the very beginning of the day to the very end of the night, Marquise worked hard in making sure our day was nothing but the best for us and was exactly what we wanted. He was such a pleasure to work with! My favorite part is when he played the Game of Thrones theme song during dinner on Sax. That stole the show, people are still talking about it! If you are looking for a DJ, MC or musician look no further, Marquise is your guy!!! P.s. Thank you again for the wings!!!

how the music would go and was always very organized. On the wedding day we could not have been more impressed. He was there plenty early. He is more than just a DJ he is a musician himself and plays the saxophone which was great entertainment for our guest and made our wedding feel so unique. He helped contribute to the wedding of our dreams! Since our wedding we have already recommended him to friends who are getting married!

nts to our night because of it. We had multiple planning meetings, he worked hard to make sure we wouldn’t hear songs we didn’t want to hear, and he nailed down our vibe perfectly! I would recommend him to any bride!! I would also recommend his lighting package too because it worked amazing with his music and the dance floor as the night went on. Thank you, Marquise!

mmenting that they will hire him for some of their events. Marquise not only did his job well he went above and beyond. My husband and I absolutely loved working with Marquise. He was so professional, organized and even gave great advice on what to expect on our wedding day. A lot of things we never thought of until Marquise made mention of it, and man do we certainly appreciate that. If we are ever in need of a saxophonist or a DJ, Marquise will be our first call for sure. Marquise thank you again for all you did to make our day special! -The Hills

learned my favorite song to play while I walked down the aisle, ensured our guests were having an amazing time throughout the entire night, and was even able to make a last-minute change the day of. Without Marquise, our day would not have run nearly as smoothly or been as fun as it was! He truly went above and beyond for us!! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your part in making our day be the most special. Love, Colby & Holly Milner

y give him 10 stars!!! Such an easy person to work with and he really made sure that our music flowed well for the ceremony and spent a good amount of time with us to make sure it went perfect and BOY DID IT!!!!! We love you and we hope you know how much we appreciate you!!! Thanks again!!!!!

re-planning calls & meetings and he's so organized that I knew we were in good hands. I may be biased because I've had the pleasure of knowing Marquise for 17 years now and am amazed at the career he's made doing what he truly loves but we got SO many compliments from our guests about Marquise. He may have even gotten more compliments than I did as the bride! Some of our family said he was hands-down the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding and our friends have reached out for his info in hopes to fly him out to their wedding later this year! You will not be disappointed with Marquise. We can't thank him enough for the phenomenal job making our wedding the most fun night ever!!

just incredible! He felt like an old friend we'd known forever and was the talk of the wedding after. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests, all saying that Marquise was the best DJ they'd ever seen at a wedding! The way he combined his DJ skills with his impressive skills on the sax was nothing short of exceptional! I asked for a wedding night I'd never forget with a full dance floor the entire night and Marquise provided just that! I will recommend him to anyone and everyone who asks!!!

was the best mix of live music and DJ.

d such a joy to be around! Our guests absolutely raved about him, as he truly set the nights ambience and took the experience to the next level. If you haven't already, you need to hire Marquise for your next event, you will be so thankful you did!!

oothly!! We will definitely use him again

ntro. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend him.

the SAX during cocktail hour and killed the DJ for reception, he was awesome at reading the room which was important to me. I wanted everyone up dancing and having a good time. Hurry up and book now! you will NOT be disappointed. Seriously he KILLED it. and I cannot thank him enough for making our day so special

at he had everybody participating during the cake cutting because a lot of weddings that she has been to not a lot of people participated. Marquis had everybody up vibing to AL Green “I’m So in Love with You”, one of the best moments of the night. We highly recommend him, such a generous man. Thank you for everything.

uld not have run so smoothly without his announcements (in a very clear and pleasant voice) and perfect song choices for every moment! He was definitely there to help us. We will definitely be calling him any time we need a DJ!!

saxophone and as a DJ is impressive, and the combination of having a live instrument, and a DJ was exactly what we were hoping for. Sadly he was booked for the original date we thought we wanted. However, hours later we found out our officiant wouldn’t be able to make that date and decided to move it two weeks later. We immediately reached out to Marquise and he was up front that while he was available, he did have another couple also interested in that date, that they had a contract he was just waiting to get back signed, but that he had not heard from them in almost two months. He said he would let them know someone else was interested, and whoever got the contract in first would get the date (very fair I think!) Unfortunately I was traveling for work and wasn’t able to get ours in and so we lost the chance to have him at our wedding. We struggled to find anyone that compared to his talent, and couldn’t find someone ANYWHERE that was a Saxaphonist with his level of talent and a good, engaging DJ. Marquise even tried multiple times to connect us to people he knew that could either be an option for part of our vision, or might know someone who was. We ultimately found an awesome local musician for the cocktails and dinner who sings and plays guitar, and another DJ for the rest of the night that came recommended by our planner, but still felt something was missing from the after dinner part of the night. Fast forward a few months later, we have to postpone our spring wedding to mid summer due to Covid (ugh!) and of course the first thing we did was call Marquise to see when he was available... But this time, as soon as we picked a final date and knew he was free, we booked him without hesitation. Booking Marquise was one of the best decisions we made! We kept our local musician, and had both he and Marquise play together for the cocktail hours before and after the ceremony, and through dinner. It was absolutely PERFECT! They had never met and played like they’d played together for years, it was incredible. We got multiple compliments on how awesome it was, and what a great job Marquise did through the night. You truly cannot go wrong with booking Marquise for your wedding or event. He is professional, kind, friendly, incredibly talented as a Sax player and DJ, super fun, and just an all around good person. Don’t think twice... book him NOW before someone else takes him! You will not regret it. Marquise, thank you for making our day everything we dreamed of, despite all the changes we had to make with Covid, and only having less than 1/3 of our original guest count. It would not have been the same without you! We wish you all the best, and will certainly be calling you when we do our casual reception reboot once all this stuff settles and people are ok with traveling!

during the reception, and finally Marquise ended the night by playing during our grand exit. Our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun Marquise was and how much energy he brought to the night. 10/10 would recommend!

at our wedding! It's like he became part of our wedding party and our friend. I would recommend him over and over again 100%! Amazing attitude, professional, punctual, and all around best service i could have asked for!

er person/vendor for this job. He is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about your event! He played the sax and everyone at our wedding absolutely loved him. He truly goes above and beyond to make your day perfect. We were so very grateful for him as a vendor!
