Marco is a Top Class Professional. We could not be happier with his contribution to our wedding breakfast. And our guests loved him too. Thank you, Marco, for the superb First Dance. It was perfect! And thank you for coming all the way from London to Wiltshire for our big day! Hope to use you again one day.
