Mark Kilcoyne Music's Reviews

5 out of 5

My husband and I chose Mark to play at our reception at our recent wedding. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Mark was super easy to deal with. He's an amazing musician and the amount of compliments we received since about Mark's playing has been just lovely. It was so nice to think that our guests were loving Mark's music while we were off getting our photos taken. Once special memory for me was when we arrived back at the hotel. We got out of our vintage VW camper and could just hear Mark playing away, guests chattering and the clinking of glasses. Don't hesitate to book Mark for a unique, chilled out vibe at your wedding. Thanks so much Mark!

Mark played at a recent wedding I attended. He played so beautifully and captured all of us who were sitting outside listening. His music was relatable, playing the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Michael Jackson. Highly recommended for a wedding reception, or some formal type reception.
