Response from Marc Hoffman:
Janet - It was lovely meeting you and your guests and thanks again! - Marc
Sorry for the late review! We hired Marc Hoffman to play the piano and sing at our church for a Christmas Concert. It was strictly Christmas music and was open to the community. Marc is such a talented pianist and soloist. It was a perfect mixture of old and new songs. We received high praises about him after the concert. He was very friendly and professional. We highly recommend him and look forward to having him play and sing again for us in the future! Terry Peoples played the bass along side of him which just added that much more to the concert! They were both amazing, and we couldn't have asked for better. Thanks again Marc and Terry!
Marc was great for my husband's 40th birthday party. He was extremely professional and seemed to easily understand what we wanted for the event. We were pretty specific regarding the type of music and the mood we were trying to create, but then let him go with it. And, everything was perfect. We loved his music selections and of course, he played beautifully. Several of us decided that we'll be looking for him at venues in the future and if we have a party again, we will be sure to call him first. I still can't believe how lucky we were to have him for this event.
Response from Marc Hoffman:
Jennifer - I can't thank you enough for the kind words. You hosted a wonderful party in your lovely home and it was a pleasure for me to provide entertainment. I do hope to work with you again soon! Best regards - Marc
