Cappell Entertainment

I was pushing this year’s holiday party entertainment planning to the very last minute and Marcus was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. He was everything I was hoping for — DJ and vocals that were as smooth as a baby’s bum! We couldn’t be more pleased and his amazing performance was the talk of the week following the party. Marcus was professional, creative with the limited space we had, and a lovely individual. I’m more than sure he’ll be receiving inquiries from our staff for their personal events. If you’re thinking of hiring Marcus for any event, take my word for it and don’t hesitate!

I hired Marcus for my Company Holiday Party. He was absolutely incredible. So easy to work with and has such an awesome vibe about him. He performed solo acoustic during the cocktail hour and dinner, then began to DJ after dessert. I received so much good feedback from staff about his performance I am so grateful to have stumbled across him.
If I wasn’t moving away from the Bay Area I would hire him again for every event I organized without question!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this very talented artist.
Thanks again Marcus!
Hooroo Mate! ;)

Marcus was amazing! We hired him for both our wedding and reception on 9÷13÷15 and he was exceptional. Our guests could not stop commenting on how great he was too. He set such a romantic, fun and calming atmosphere. He was so diligent to make sure that all needs were met within our specified time frames, but was also so flexible and easy-​going. He was such a joy to plan with and always made time to meet with us to discuss any pre-​wedding details and plans. He was always present with a smile and congenial personality which made the planning so much more relaxed and enjoyable. Aside from how lovely he was to work with, the quality of his musical talent is beyond many other vendors I researched throughout our planning process. And what was even more special to me was that he was able to work with my sister to perform a beautiful song for me and our guests during our reception. I cannot rave enough about how great it was to work with Marcus for our wedding.

I originally contacted Marcus spring of 2014 to have him do a surprise performance for my proposal to my then girlfriend. He did such a great job following my exact instructions (where to be, what time to be there, when do start playing, etc) and singing his own rendition of the song I requested of him to sing that I asked him to perform at our wedding this past week.
Marcus is really such a great guy and an absolute pleasure to work with. For our wedding, Marcus showed up at least a hour earlier than the time he was supposed to so he could do sound check and get setup. He was supposed to only play for our cocktail hour, but he saw people congregating in the area before the ceremony, he took it upon himself to sing and play to keep our guests entertained. That is the definition of above and beyond in our book.
When it came time to perform during our cocktail hour, he was truly awesome. Our guests enjoyed his performance and he sang the songs that we requested without a hitch. The only issue was that my wife and I wished we could have just enjoyed his performance without having to do our rounds with our guests, but duty calls.
Marcus is very professional, easy going, always smiling, genuine, and always made things to be about us and our day and we never felt like it was just another gig for him. He was our best wedding vendor, bar none, and was well worth the money.

Marcus helped MC, DJ, lighting and sang our wedding song. He made our wedding night more special and entertaining for our guests. Overall is exceeded our expectation. Hands down I will recommend him in a heart beat. His pricing was one of the most reasonable out of a lot of quotes we got. More than satisfied!

Marcus was the DJ/​mc/​singer at our wedding in October 2015. He was amazing! Everyone loved him and even came up to me to tell me my DJ was awesome! It was a pleasure working with Marcus. He is so nice and professional. He is very organized! I highly recommend Marcus!!! He is a one man shop that does it all… DJ, mc, singer, plays acoustic guitar and beat boxes! He also sets up his own lights!!! Ohh and he had a cool Australian accent so it gives any event a little exotic twist!!! Thanks Marcus!!!

We hired Marcus to perform for our Sept 5 wedding and he was amazing. I knew by watching his videos and songs online he would be good but he was great! All of our guest were shocked that we had hired one person who could sing live, dj, and do a one man band all by himself and do it all so well. Marcus has the complete set up and is very professional. He had great suggestions and had the dance floor packed the whole night. He should be charging a lot more for everything he provides.

Marcus was fantastic to say the least! We were married this July and Marcus was extremely professional, timely and a hit with the crowd! We would recommend him to anyone getting married!

Marcus is incredible. I’ve hired him twice now and will hire him any time I need some music!
I hired him for my proposal to my wife and I was so pleased that I hired him again for my wedding ceremony and reception. He was the hit of the party at our reception and he was one of the only vendors I knew that I was rock solid with.
Marcus is also unique in that he sings and he DJs, so he makes the perfect choice if you are looking for a blend for your cocktail hour and then for your party.
I highly recommend him.

There are not enough superlatives to describe how amazing Marcus is and the level of professionalism and talent he possesses. We were fortunate enough to have Marcus perform, DJ and MC at our recent wedding on September 12, 2015 and we are still receiving compliments from our guests on how amazing the music was and how well done the entire experience had been. Marcus had been very responsive throughout the entire experience, answering all of our questions and working with us to put together the type of entertainment we wanted throughout the reception. Everyone was blown away by the live performances by Marcus in which he sang and performed on his guitar and he did an amazing rendition of All of Me by John Legend for our first dance. He kept the party lively with his DJ and MC skills and brought a great energy throughout the night. People feed off the music and energy Marcus provided which made for a great party. I would highly recommend Marcus to anyone and I am pretty sure he made a lot of fans at our wedding, who will be using him in the future as well.

Marcus is laid back, professional, kind, and so very talented! I asked him to learn a new song for my processional and he performed it perfectly. Lots of people commented on his playing throughout the cocktail hour and during dinner. He also chose great songs while DJing and the dance floor was packed all night! I couldn’t have been happier with his service. I highly recommend him for any event!

We had the pleasure of having Marcus play and DJ our wedding in Carmel Valley, CA in Aug. 2015. From the start, Marcus was very professional, and my wife and I felt very comfortable speaking with him. He was prompt in responding to emails and keeping in touch. Everybody at the wedding, including my wife and I, were impressed with Marcus’ voice and acoustic skills. Afterwards, he played a nice list of songs to keep our guests entertained. I’d definitely recommend Marcus for any occasion.

We worked with Marcus for our June 14, 2015 wedding and we were totally blown away with how wonderful he was — he exceeded our expectations in absolutely every way possible. From the very beginning he made the process of planning the music for our day so easy. He was easy to communicate with, responsive and extremely professional.
Despite the very complicated layout of our venue, Marcus made every detail work seamlessly. He took the lead and made everything happen without me needing to lift a finger or voice a single question or concern. There wasn’t a single hiccup (or if there was, I never knew about it). We coordinated the music details with him over the course of many months from a distance of 3000 miles away, but he made every step of it so simple.
He played live music and sang during our ceremony and cocktail hour, we received so much praise from our guests about how amazing his performances were. They truly were. His voice is incredible … I found myself at moments during the cocktail hour just sitting and enjoying his music — getting lost in it. Just phenomenal.
He also DJ’ed and played/​sang at our reception — it was a blast. He kept the crowd dancing and on their feet but was unobtrusive. He worked so hard throughout the day to keep things moving — I can’t believe he does all he does on his own. Of all of our wedding vendors (which we all loved) he is the one I feel I can speak the highest of. Words could hardly express our gratitude to him — there is no doubt our day was more amazing simply because of him being there and his amazing talent.
He is genuinely a great person, and a terrific asset to any wedding. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him!!!

I just had my wedding on August 1^st, 2015 and Marcus was phenomenon! He wasn’t just a wedding singer, he was a singer/​DJ and he was well prepared.
I met Marcus about a year ago when we were planning our wedding, he was responsive and professional! He met with us immediately after our initial request and he was in constant email communications even on his vacation!
He is so talented with his one man show — he is able to sing solo, DJ and play an one-​man show with his setup! I couldn’t have asked for a more comprehensive band than him. He was also able to even help us with some of our songs which were in Spanish!
But most of all, he is kind, friendly, genuine and he went above and beyond our expectations! He is an amazing singer who I cannot believe I could book him for our wedding! He should be on stages and making his own albums!
Marcus is simply amazing and I wish him nothing but the best in his future!
