Hiring Marcello was the BEST DECISION I made throughout the ENTIRE wedding planning process. Marcello served as the musician and head of sound for our wedding and he was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I have zero music/sound/technology background and he was able to take all of my requests and bring them to life. This included playing at an outdoor garden venue for our ceremony (where he set up from scratch), and moving to an outdoor patio for our reception with two additional musicians that be brought on. He was so incredibly kind during the planning process and added a touch of sparkle to the day. My husband and I both had tears in our eyes multiple times throughout the day because he brought our vision to life. Not to mention, he has the voice of an absolute angel. I honestly cannot recommend Marcello more highly. I would hire Marcello to play at any event and feel 100% confident that he is the person for the job. We love you, Marcello! Thank you for making our dreams come true! Look no further, you have found your musician.

We heard Marcello at a baby’s blessing and I had to have him come and sing for us at my fiancé birthday party, and our friends loved him so much they booked him for their wedding! Was a pleasure to work with, responsive, reliable, pleasant and such a lovely presence and voice. Thank you for making all our special events even more memorable and unforgettable! Beijos

I hired Marcello to play for a cocktail party and it was a spectacular performance. The singer has an attractive vocal tone, and puts real feeling into the lyrics. He offered a mixture of nossa Nova a few popular American songs and some original songs. His original songs had great lyrics and we’re extremely meaningful with some punchy phrases. His songs were mellow and perfect for the party.
The performance quality was high throughout, both vocally and instrumentally. Overall, the songs were very catchy and he offered us something refreshing and original. I will definitely hire him again for future events.

Thank you so much Michael, it was a pleasure grooving with you and your guests 🙌🏽
Marcello played for our event and did an amazing job! He was so professional and showed up right when he said he would. He brought everything he needed and was ready to go right on time. He took minimal breaks and even when he was on a quick break, he played his recorded music so we were never without tunes. He was so sweet to talk to and seemed to really want to get to know us. Just a real class act and a pleasure to work with from beginning to end.
Aside from Marcello’s beautiful voice, he also has a great ability to “read the room”. The music was never a distraction or took away from socializing… instead his voice breathed so much more life into the party than a Spotify playlist would have! Marcello elevated our party and the variety of his music engaged everybody. I feel fortunate that he was part of my special day.
The highlight for me was Marcello’s willingness to learn a custom song request with only a week’s notice. Don’t be like me - give him more time to learn anything new! But he was so gracious and executed this song perfectly which gave my husband and I a really special, surprise moment and a lovely memory.
Overall we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have Marcello perform and he created the exact atmosphere I was envisioning. Hire him! You won’t be disappointed!

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Marcello is one of the greatest artists I have ever worked with! I have booked many artists for many events in the past, but the amount of care and attention to detail that Marcello put into our events blew everyone else outside of the water! Not to mention his amazing sound! So soulful, once he started playing, all eyes were on him, and from that moment on, the entire mood was upgraded immensely, and we had an absolute blast. I would absolutely recommend Marcello to everyone, he will not only make your event special, but he will make you and everyone else feel amazing! Thank you so much Marcello!!! We'll be booking you again real soon!!!

Marcello was amazing for our group of girls. His is a very talented singer as well as guitarist. His setup is incredibly professional.

Marcello made our small intimate wedding a dream come true! He was professional, prompt, and extremely easy to work with. His voice is incredible and all our guests loved him. He was the perfect addition to our wedding. He played his acoustic set for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and I could not be happier. As the bride I would highly recommend Marcello to anyone interested in a singing guitarist with a soulful voice and wide variety of song choices. Thanks again, Marcello! :)

The ambiance at our community event was kept lively and upbeat by Marcello. We received many compliments from the owners and we hope Marcello picked up a few extra gigs from attending residents in the future. He was even kind enough to let a few residents sing some songs before he put away his equipment.

Marcello is an incredible human being and performer. He is somehow able to connect with his audience on a soul level - transporting them to another dimension and taking them away from their troubles and woes, even if only for a moment! Marcello has performed in the various restaurants I've run as well as for private parties & events. It's also a great pleasure to connect with Marcello as a human being in general, he is kind, compassionate, and so full of love that it raises the vibrations no matter the event. I love the variety he is able to play whether it's Brazilian songs, classic or top 40 covers, or even his incredible originals! I highly recommend Marcello for any of your musical needs!!! Call him now!!!

Marcello showed up on time for our party and put on a good show for the group. He played some songs we put on our list, took some requests and also played what I believe were some of his own. Would recommend him for a wedding or any gatherings as his music style can bounce between upbeat and mellow. 10/10

I hired Marcello to play at my birthday party. I am so glad I did!! Marcello was a hit and he performed beautifully. Not only is he an excellent guitar player, Marcello has a beautiful singing voice and my guests were wowed by his performance. Marcello was also super personable and joked around with the crowd, took song suggestions, and was overall an AMAZING entertainer. I had several guests reach out to me afterwards to ask for his information for their own future events. Marcello made the party, a party! I will definitely be hiring Marcello again, and I can guarantee that if you do, you will not be sorry!

I hosted a big last min party for me and my magician friends. I was so busy setting up food and decorations I realized I forgot to set up a playlist! I decided to just book a live performance and thank GOODNESS I found Marcello. He was perfectly on time and set such an amazing tone for my friends and I. This man can DO IT ALL!!! He even let my friends saw him in half after the show. Haha magician things. Anyways, voice on an angel, takes requests, and has an energy that resonates through the whole party. 100% will book again. Maybe not saw him in half, but will definitely book :)

Such a fun time! My absolute pleasure!
I hired Marcello for my 35th birthday and boy am I glad I did!
The whole process was super easy; he was very understanding and an amazing person to deal with and talk to.
He showed up early to set up and took his time to talk to me to make sure the plan was the same and that we were all good to go.
He did an amazing job reading the crowd and leading everyone into the right vibe.
Amazing voice, great songs, truly unique.
I am forever grateful for one of the best birthdays I’ve had.

Response from Marcello Henrique:
I'm grateful to be a part of such a wonderful occasion my friend. So happy to have met you and collaborated! Thank you for the kind words
What can I say about the remarkable Marcello?! He is a multi-talented and dynamic vocalist, guitarist, pianist, looperist and so much more! His unique classic, bossanova, soul, and r & b guitar style paired with his smooth, sultry, and potent vocals - creates one heck of a vibe for any/all occasions, and don’t get me started on his falsetto — WOW!
Beyond his incredible skills; Marcello has an innate ability to read a room/crowd/space and give it exactly what it needs. The power and ease of his essence sparks delight, joy, and kindness all around.
It is an experience to be in his presence as he lights up a room with his gifts and soulful spirit.

I hired Marcello to play live music at an outdoor dinner party I arranged for friends in my backyard a few years ago. Aside from being an incredibly talented musician, he was lovely to work with, showed up on time and played recognizable, but not cheesy songs. I also loved that he played a few original songs as well! Overall I would, and have refer him to friends of mine!
