You won't find a better DJ/MC!
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!
