"We
were so happy to get Mark and Karla Cruz to play at our wedding. They both are
extremely talented and gave us so much more than what we paid for. They were professional
and they helped us make the wedding truly our own by playing the special music
we had requested. We would truly recommend this couple to play for your wedding
if you are looking for amazing talent with a great price. The sound of the classical
guitar with the piano is breath taking. Out of the million of decisions we had
to make, planning our wedding, the decision to hire Mark and Karla to play was
one of the easiest to make." — Stacy and
Robert Maine
"The quality of professionalism
and talent that Mark brought to our wedding day was beyond our wildest expectations!
Not only was he able to mesh our dreams and desires for our ceremony with his
experience, but he also volunteered to come early to our wedding to spend extra
time rehearsing with our soloist. He went the extra mile for us, and our ceremony
turned out beautifully!"
Thanks!
— Leslie Drake
