Without a doubt, Mark Banks was my favorite vendor we worked with for our wedding. My wife and I cannot recommend him enough -- seriously, book him if you are still looking for your audio vendor!

Mark makes things easy in that he is able to handle ALL things audio related, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, toasts, and of course DJing. Not only that, but he does an absolutely phenomenal job at everything! One of the best parts about working with Mark is that he can play live music during the cocktail hour. He has a great voice and is super talented with the guitar, and we had many of our wedding guests comment on how much they enjoyed the live music aspect of our reception. Mark gave our cocktail hour a truly unique vibe compared to other weddings we have been to. He has a long list of songs available to choose from, with many different genres and artists to suit any crowd.

We didn't notice a single audio issue the entire day -- no audio screeching or cracking, no cutouts, no mics not working unexpectedly... everything went without a hitch. We were also extremely impressed with each setup. For the ceremony, he had our officiant and myself (the groom) mic'd up with small wireless mics that clipped on to our suit lapels, so nobody had to hold a mic, which was one less thing for my wife and I to worry about. For the toasts, the wireless mic he provided worked perfectly and the audio was crystal clear. For the dancing, he had a fantastic setup with lights and even a smoke machine, and he did a great job keeping the energy level on the dance floor high the whole night long.

Finally, it is important to mention that Mark is a genuinely friendly and warm person. He expressed multiple times how special it was for him to be part of our big day, and it was clear to us that he has a true passion for his craft and that he does everything he can to make the wedding day a truly memorable experience. He took the time to schedule multiple calls with us prior to our wedding weekend to ensure that he understood everything perfectly, which made a big difference in giving us peace of mind that things would run smoothly (and they did!).

Thank you Mark! Our wedding day would not have been the same without you!

There cannot be enough good things said about Mark Banks. Mark is an amazing and super friendly person that helped make our wedding memorable for not only our guests but for us as well. He's also insanely talented and extremely versatile, making him the complete package for your wedding! Mark's ability to play and sing a huge variety of songs on the acoustic guitar provided great entertinament for our guests during cocktail hour. He was also a great MC for both our wedding ceremony and reception. But lastly, he provided all the energy and enthusiasm as the DJ during the dance portion--by playing very upbeat songs and interacting with the guests--to help us cap off a great night. Working with Mark was one of the easiest parts of the wedding planning process, and it was very obvious he wanted to make the experience great for us to by asking us all the songs that we wanted to be played throughout the whole day, from the ceremony to the dance party. Many of our friends told us after the wedding how awesome Mark was during our wedding, so we would definitely recommend Mark to be the only entertainment solution you need to your wedding/event.

Our wedding would not have been the same without Mark Banks. He played guitar/vocals, and was also our MC/DJ. My husband and I saw him perform randomly in Monterey when we were first dating and having his services at our wedding was one of the best valued purchases I made. He’s easy to work with, hard working (arrived earlier and stayed later), and professional. His guitar/vocals is so unique and really created the ambiance - complimented by many guests. I’ve been to a fair number of weddings myself and thought he was an amazing DJ as well. I highly recommend his services!
