The Perfect Wedding Maestro!

We hired Marcus Pike as our wedding musician and couldn't have been more thrilled with his performance! Marcus provided a delightful mix of music throughout our special day, showcasing his talent with the acoustic guitar and ukulele during the ceremony and transitioning seamlessly to the evening reception where he also served as our DJ.

What truly stood out was Marcus's incredible flexibility and adaptability. Despite not planning for our Italian guest's music requests, Marcus took it all in his stride and delivered flawlessly, much to the delight of our guests. His willingness to accommodate our last-minute changes made our day even more memorable.

From our initial pre-wedding Zoom calls to the meticulous documentation and timely updates, Marcus proved himself to be a true professional every step of the way. He made sure everything went smoothly and as planned, alleviating any stress and allowing us to fully enjoy our celebration.

We can't thank Marcus enough for his outstanding performance and professionalism. If you're looking for a wedding musician who will exceed your expectations and ensure your day is unforgettable, look no further than Marcus Pike. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic, Five Stars Wedding singer and DJ

If you're looking for the perfect wedding singer and DJ, look no further than Marcus! He was an absolute gem at our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with his performance. From start to finish, Marcus displayed a remarkable blend of professionalism, talent, and warmth.

He effortlessly delivered a wide range of songs, from classic ballads to contemporary hits, all with a captivating tone and flawless technique. His singing added a magical ambiance to our wedding, creating moments we'll cherish forever.

But Marcus's talent goes beyond his voice. His calm presence and adaptability made him a dream to work with. He seamlessly adjusted to the energy and preferences of our guests, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. Whether it was playing background music during the wedding breakfast or getting everyone on the dance floor later in the evening, Marcus knew exactly how to read the room and keep the party going.

What impressed us most was his ability to accommodate our specific requests while also bringing his unique flair. Marcus was always open to suggestions and made sure to incorporate our favourite songs into the setlist. His attention to detail and commitment to making our day special truly set him apart.

Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding singer and DJ. Marcus is professional, a gifted musician, and a genuinely kind person. He made our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful for his contribution to our special day. If you're planning a wedding or any event where you need top-notch entertainment, we wholeheartedly recommend Marcus. He's simply the best!

Amazing guitarist, made our wedding extra special!

Marcus played at my wedding in September. Marcus played during our welcome drinks (outside, where everyone was gathered for drinks and canapes) as well as during my wedding breakfast. Marcus was amazing from start to finish. I emailed Marcus quite a few times during the planning of my wedding and his responses to my questions were quick and nothing was ever too much trouble. I had a very specific list of songs I wanted played and Marcus played them all! He also learnt new songs that were special to my husband and I. Marcus sounded great and all of the guests loved him. Thanks to Marcus the atmosphere he created was exactly how I hoped it would be. Marcus even helped with playing the music for our entrance into the wedding breakfast/reception as my venue didn't have speakers to play the song we wanted. As i say, nothing was too much to ask. If you are thinking of booking a guitarist, do not hesitate to book Marcus. He will not disappoint! Thank you, Marcus.
