CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Jeff was PERFECT!
I first spoke with Jeff only a few weeks before my wedding and am still amazed at how absolutely wonderful he was!
He provided me with an extensive song list from which I could omit any songs that I wanted and he also learned some special songs that were important to my family and me.
It rained the entire day of my OUTSIDE wedding and Jeff was so accomodating and easy-going with everything. He was never once a bother and performed exactly as I had hoped. He played an acoustic set before and after the ceremony and then started with the reception music that immediately followed the ceremony which also was located in a different area on teh property. I don't know how he did it!
As, disorganized as everything on my wedding day was, Jeff's performance was seamless. He had a uncanny understanding as to what the guests were looking to hear and at what moment. He took requests all night and always made sure that they were okay-ed by me. Whenever I wanted a certain song played, all I had to was let him know and it followed the song he was currently playing. He also acted as an impromptu DJ, announcing our first dance and cake-cutting. He would let me know when he would be taking a break, as well as let me know and approve the CD he would play during the break.
Aside, from his professionalism and easy-going personality... Jeff Marks put on a fabulous show. Everyone commented all night long about how great he was and how the music was absolutely perfect. I was so proud of how much everyone loved him. From The Beatles and Eric Clapton to Incubus and Dave Matthews... young and old alike, were completely impressed with his talent and music selection. He really did create the atmosphere for the entire night... he was exceptional!

Jeff arrived early and in spite of delayed setup (our fault - caused by our groups lack of knowledge regarding the electricity switches,) he remained calm and supportive and dug in to help figure out the puzzle. He then proceeded to wow us with his expansive repertoire of oldies. His performance really put just the right touch on our reunion. He even brought along some big band cds to play on the short break (which we insisted he take.) When it came to answereing questions about old song stylists and composers, he really knows his stuff. Jeff is a great singer/guitarist and a nice guy too! We would hire him again with no hesitation.

Jeff was fantastic. We booked him only a week before our wedding, yet he still was able to learn a special song for us. He showed up plenty early and set up his equipment without needing a lot of assistance or attention from us. We asked him to put together a playlist based only on a few vague directions, and the result was great. One of our guests spent half the wedding entranced by Jeff because he was so impressed with his guitar skills. I would highly recommend Jeff for weddings or any other occasion.
