CLIENT FEEDBACK:
I planned my wedding in Austin from out of state (New Jersey). Marilyn was very accomodating, professional, met with me before the wedding day and took the time to learn a few new songs for my ceremony. It was a leap of faith hiring someone with which I hadn't worked before, but she did a very good job.

Marilyn Rucker is a versatile performer. Her music set the mood at the event, it was soft enough that everyone was able to hear it clearly and still hold conversations. We thourghly enjoyed the performance. We are looking forward to possibly requesting her for another event in Corpus Christi in June '07.
