Feedback

  • Marc was terrific. He was helpful, professional and personable though the whole process. His music added just what we were hoping for and helped to make our daughter's wedding reception very successful. We would absolutely recommend him, and would hire him again if the need arises! -- Allyce P, Columbia, SC, 1/14/2012
  • The Marc Hoffman Duo was absolutely wonderful for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. It was just the perfect level of background music during the dinner and a little more upbeat tempo for dancing and listening afterwards. Marc is very professional and an extremely nice person. We would highly recommend them. -- Dianne B, Columbia, SC, 10/21/2011
  • We were extremely pleased with Marc's performance and professionalism. He's extremely talented and did an awesome job creating the exact mood we'd hope for. We can't wait to have him play again for us! -- Myra D, Huntersville, NC, 10/8/2011
  • Marc did a great job, showed up as promised a little early to set up and stayed a little longer than asked without issue. -- Patty C, Matthews, NC, 12/19/2010
  • Marc performed beautifully for both our wedding ceremony and reception. I was unsure of what specific songs I wanted for the ceremony and Marc helped me choose music that was unique, elegant, and fit my personality. Marc's voice and talent on the piano is amazing and range of genres is very impressive. He was extremely professional and we knew as soon as we met him we would not have to worry about one detail of the music and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend Marc for any event! -- Amanda S, Abingdon, VA, 10/2/2010
  • Marc's trio played the pre-ceremony and ceremony music for my wedding and did an amazing job. We had so many people come up to us after the ceremony and comment on the music Marc and the two other men played. Marc was incredibly accommodating and played both instrumental only songs as well as songs with accompanying lyrics. The music turned out so well! It is a vivid part of my memories from that day and I cannot be happier with the way it turned out! -- Elizabeth H, Winston-Salem, NC, 5/22/2010
