QUOTES & TESTIMONIALS
THINKING ABOUT HIRING ME FOR AN EVENT? HERE ARE SOME OF THE KIND THINGS WINE LIVING CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS HAVE TO SAY.
"I can't say enough great things about Marc and the stellar job he did with the wine tasting at my home. We have had Marc come to the house for 3 consecutives years and each year gets better than the next, I already booked him for the 4th year." - Felicia Newman, Customer
"Everything was perfect. He is so flexible and I felt like he treats each event as a unique experience from the theme, the wine selection, the food and the general flow of the evening. He truly caters to this clients wishes. We never felt rushed or that is was a stuffy formatted event. We had lively and organic conversations about wine, food and life. It's was a truly wonderful experience for everyone. Find a reason to book an event with Marc." - Stacy Gordon, Customer
“We had an absolute blast! Thank you Marc!! I learned so much about wine and pairing with food. This, for sure, ranks as one of the most fun weekends Bruce and I have had in over 22 years of marriage. Thanks again for such a fun, educational weekend!” - April Ballard Redmon, Wine 101 Weekend attendeee
“I just want to thank Marc for an excellent wine tasting experience. Our theme, ‘A Tour of Europe,’ produced excellent wine, which was paired with outstanding appetizers prepared by Marc. The combination of the two was a hit with all. Additionally, Marc is very knowledgeable, but completely skilled at reading the audiences and tailoring the presentation to the experience of the group.” - Nick Marmontello, customer
“Marc, I have commented this before, but after viewing your latest video from Greece, I must say it again...Your videos are better than any show on The Travel Channel (or any other channel for that matter). Your hosting skills, the editing, the information shared... everything about it is amazing. I sincerely hope you get your own network TV show soon, you deserve it!” – Amy Kaplan
“Having been the guest of honor at one of Marc's events, I can say that it's well worth your money… the beauty of the event is not just the great food, great wine, and knowledge you get but also the simplicity of it! Our host had to do very little since Marc came to the house as a traveling host with all the glassware, food, and supplies that were needed. It was a luxury to sip through each course, discuss and enjoy. This is your food, drink, AND your entertainment for the evening.” – Jessica Sandberg, customer
“We just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we have enjoyed your video, ‘A Taste For Life’. As wine instructors at a community college here in the Kansas City area, we open our class with your video. Your dialogue explains very well what we will be talking about in the class - and why. Everyone enjoys it, and it's a great upbeat way to kick off a 7.5-hour class about wine.
Our only question… how could it have been second in the Wine Spectator video contest?? Nice work!”
- Maria and Frank Bramwell, CWP's, Kansas City, MO
“I was just passed your video and message about the experience you have had with the WSET. I think it’s a wonderful video and really brings the message of what we do to life. Thanks for sharing and I hope you don’t mind if I direct people towards your video uploads and use them to pass the message along to others.”
- Dean Euden, UK Business Development Manager, WSET®
“I can't tell you how much your video affected me and brought tears to my eyes because I'm on the same journey. I've had to work my entire adult life, and decided that I wanted to pursue my passions. One of them is wine. I'm going to school now in order to organize my brain for my certifications as well. I haven't heard what I wanted detailed so beautifully as you articulated in your video. It really touched me.” - Irene King, Sommelier, Las Vegas
“I don't think you could have done a better job if you tried. Everyone was raving at what an excellent time they had, and thought your presentation was spot on. I have to commend you for choosing 4 fantastic whiskeys and then pairing them with such tasty food - it was perfect! I think you opened a lot of eyes last night (so to speak!) You even had the finesse to rein the group in as they went off on tangents (which they tend to do quite often). Seriously, I feel like the night went off without a hitch, and I have to thank you for making me look like the rockstar!!” – Adrianna, Customer
"This is a fabulous piece of work! Personally, I have watched the video 4 times. Dave and all our staff have watched it as well. You made us look good.
Just met with my social media writer and viewed the video again. Marc, there is so many good clips here that it feels like you are watching a travel channel! Oh right, that's what your You Tube channel is; for wine lovers.
Wow, Marc, you certainly exceeded all my expectations!” - Heidi Lanford, Iris Inn
“Dude, the video is awesome!!! We shared in FB and will share with the staff. Thank you soooo much!”
- Michael McCaulley, Tria Café, Philadelphia
