• Marco was fabulous! He played for several hours at a birthday party -- his music was perfect for the event. -- Cindy F, Seattle, WA, 3/18/2006
• Marco was marvelous. His ability to play Brazilian Classical Guitar is stellar. I do not believe we wold have been better served if we had hired Jobim. The audience loved him. We have him permanently inscribed in our hearts and our recommended performers booking book. We meet monthly, and try to vary the performers to reach all of our audience. So we shall definitely have Marco back sometime in the near future. -- Dennis W, Bellevue, WA, 11/16/2005
• Marco performed at our wedding, playing a processional, recessional, and then providing music for about one hour and fifteen minutes afterward while guests had champagne, mingled, etc. Marco did a fantastic job and we and our guests were very pleased. I would definitely recommend Marco. -- Brad F, Seattle, WA, 9/4/2005
