Marcus Ford

Marcus played at our wedding on Saturday and everyone just loved him. Our guests talked about him all night and since the wedding we've heard nothing but praise. The weather did its best to dampen our spirits but Marcus just added a ray of sunshine to the whole day.

Marcus was one of the highlights of a fantastic day. We can't thank him enough for his wonderful performance at our wedding. He was just lovely with the little ones too, playing tunes just for them. We all had a great time. Thanks Marcus.

Bravo to Marcus who played at our recent Cocktail Party in Edinburgh. He arrived before we did, set up without fuss and played a selection of his repertoire throughout the course of the evening - fantastic. Our guests loved him and he was gracious enough to play a specific song that one of our guests wanted to sing for us. I would highly recommend him and Hireaband - a great service. Thanks again for making our night special.
