  • Acoustic Wedding
    author: Mark Hackley

    I am a guitarist who performs at weddings and a potential client had heard Marc Magnuson's "Acoustic Wedding" asking me if I could perform similar songs. I suggested they use the CD!! Marc is awesome, and this is the perfect CD for a bride and groom seeking a very joyous occasion.

  • Excellent selections
    author: Sheila

    Very satisfied with the music and service! This CD is going to be perfect for my wedding; thanks so much

  • relaxing, affordable & timely
    author: Laura

    I recieved the CD within 2-3 business days, everyone was polite & the CD was the perfect acoustic sound for my Wedding! Thanks again!

  • Calmness of the music magnificent
    author: Chris Quirk; UK

    I think it was the calmness of the music as opposed to the organ versions that I personally find unpleasent and overbearing. I am a lover of acoustic music and we are buying a copy of these songs to see if they will work in our church for our wedding. I think it would be magnificent to enter and exit to this kind of music.

  • Quick Delivery
    author: Kelly

    I just want to thank you for the quick delivery of what I ordered. I'm listening to the CD as I'm writing this note and I love every song so far! I am planning as using this CD for the welcoming music in the church. It's just beatiful. God Bless, Kelly

  • EXCELLENT MUSIC IT WILL BE USED AT MY SON'S WEDDING
    author: RITA M

    EXCELLENT MUSIC IT WILL BE USED AT MY SON'S WEDDING. THE MUSIC IS SOFT,SOOTHING,PERFECT FOR A MEMORABLE DAY!

  • set the perfect tone for our outdoor wedding
    author: Morgan Williams

    We used your CD Acoustic Wedding for our wedding music and it turned out just beautifully! Your clean and simple takes on classic wedding music set the perfect tone for our outdoor wedding. The sound of your songs is such a pleasant departure from the same old pretentious "orchestra-type" wedding music heard at most weddings. To stay true to our personal style, we needed to avoid the pomp and circumstance of the traditional classical songs, but we didn't want to reinvent the wheel. After buying your CD, and continuing to search online for the perfect take on the classics, two of the the three songs we ended up using came from your Acoustic Wedding CD. We received many compliments on our music selection and I wanted to pass the compliments along to you. Thank you for this wonderful CD.

  • Great!!! Just what I was looking for.
    author: Dena

    This CD was perfect for my wedding ceremony. It flowed beautifully.

  • Wedding in Cozumel
    author: Nicholas S.

    Acoustic Wedding was the perfect style/genre of music for our wedding. We planned a trip to Mexico and were married in a fantastic church in Cozumel with 20 of our friends and family. Mark, your collection is a very subtle and appropriate selection for anyone who feels the standard classical approach is over the top or blandly traditional. You can tell others your music has gone international, after our wedding... (if it hasn't allready!) We filled that church with your music. I made a DVD to show at our reception, dubbing the tracks into it for quality, and I know the relatives liked the music.

  • Clean sounding
    author: Marybeth; Michigan

    This is exactly the type of music I was looking for. Very clean sounding without a lot of the fluff. I think it's going to be perfect.

  • Beautiful music for a beautiful day
    author: Travis; Concord, NC

    My sister just got the CD for her ceremony and I must say that every song is exactly what you would expect for a wedding CD to be. Beautiful music for a beautiful day. Thanks for putting together such a perfect compilation.

  • Nothing else came close to quality and selection
    author: Scott Echerd from Charlotte, NC

    I have looked for songs for weeks to try to find a compliment for our opening ceremony for our wedding. We have two guitarists playing and singing during the ceremony and we didn't want to have piano or organ music played beforehand and as the wedding party came in. After sorting through countless CD's nothing came close to the quality and selection that Acoustic Wedding offers. This will surely be something to add an element that will make great memories.

  • simple and elegant
    author: cheryl

    My daughter was married in a smaller church with limited aisle length. The short version on the bridal chorus was perfect. The whole selection was so elegant and especially perfect for a simple ceremony. I felt like we were really giving our guests a treat in listening to the selections during the seating. Canon in D for the grandparents (there were several) was great and perfect amount of time. Just couldn't have chosen anything better. WILL RECOMMEND TO ALL!

  • Helpful for planning our wedding ceremony music
    author: Steve; TX

    This CD has been a very useful tool in helping to plan the music for our wedding. We are planning to use a duet (guitar and violin) to provide the music during the ceremony, and we really like the piece "Alla Luce Del Dio".

  • CD was fantastic
    author: Tom & Dawn; CA

    We thought Acoustic Wedding was fantastic. We used a couple of songs off the CD in our ceremony. Thank you for turning the old classics into a modern more upbeat version - it really helped make the mood for the ceremony.

  • Special day will always be one to remember
    author: Edward A.

    Your music includes some of the best acoustic renditions I have ever heard. Bach's "Air" is a favorite piece of mine and to have the joy of listening to it acoustically was absolute perfection... because I'm such a fan of good guitar as well. I only purchased two of the songs, but I listen to them rather frequently. I went with the two for a wedding I was putting together music for and I desperately wanted something different... not overly traditional, in other words. I looped the two as part of a seating/processional arrangement and the combination created the perfect setting for what turned out to be a very special occasion, in part because the wife-to-be was getting married after having been divorced some 21 years. I received a tremendous amount of feedback and praise for the entire music library, but your music was most certainly the highlight for myself, the guests, and especially the honorees. Because of your beautiful music, their special day will always be one to remember. I thank you for your music and for your talent and hope your gift is heard far and wide. I know I will do my part to ensure that very thing.

  • Used for wedding reception as well
    author: Amy from Minnesota

    I had these samples playing on my computer at work yesterday while deciding to buy the CD, and a number of people walked by and asked "who is that? it sounds great!". Everyone agreed the samples sounded wonderful. We're getting married and having the reception where there simply is not enough room for a band, DJ or even a string quartet. Since I've always loved acoustic guitar, I this CD will be perfect, not only for the wedding, but as background music for the reception as well. Thank you again!

  • relaxed renditions of classical selections
    author: Rosie; New York, NY

    I loved your CD! I used it for my ceremony music and the selection I chose was one I felt wasn't a typical choice and that was appealing for me. I felt that the CD made the classic selections sound more updated, relaxed and cozy. My DJ commented in particular about the music and he'll definitely be recommending it to others. Thanks.

  • Deaf bride feels this music
    author: Jana

    The Acoustic Wedding music was just perfect for the wedding of a deaf friend of mine! She was able to "feel" the beat and walk down the aisle to it. And, being able to purchase the downloadable music from my home computer made shopping for the music soooo easy. Thanks so much!

  • The music was perfect for our home ceremony
    author: Shannon

    Thank you for the beautiful acoustic wedding music. The ceremony was at our house with only the closest of relatives and friends by our side. But, the music was perfect for our ceremony. I walked into the room with Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring. Air on the G String played while we lit the unity candles, and we ended the ceremony by playing Minuet. You have a great talent and I find your style of guitar playing very soothing. I'd be pleased, if in the future you create a new CD, that you let me know. I'd love to buy a copy.

  • beachfront wedding, barefoot wedding party!
    author: Walt K.

    Thanks for your music. It was beautifully played and very well recorded. Everyone enjoyed the sound of acoustic guitar, especially at a beachfront wedding where most of the guests (and the wedding party) were barefoot!

  • we recommend this
    author: Carrie; Wichita, KS

    The Acoustic Wedding CD was a wonderful selection of music that enhanced our wedding ceremony greatly. We'd highly recommend it to anyone. Many of our guests commented on the music and how wonderful it was.

  • Great choice for wedding DJ
    author: Elisabeth Daley; http://www.daleydjs.com/

    As a professional wedding DJ who is always looking for new recordings, I am very pleased to have come across "Acoustic Wedding". The selections are versatile while still including the popular mainstays. The sound quality is extraordinary and the interpretations are emotional without being heavy-handed. I highly recommend "Acoustic Wedding" to brides and wedding professionals alike who are looking for simple and elegant recorded music to augment the perfect day.

  • people were commenting about the music...
    author: Tara from PA

    I downloaded a few songs for a small wedding I just had today. The music was beautiful. As a matter of fact I had a couple of people comment about how lovely it was. I figured for a simple wedding the acoustic wedding march would be perfect. I was very pleased. Thanks very much for making my day that much more unique, and very, very special.

  • beautiful gift for my niece
    author: Tom; Michigan

    As I listened to the music I was filled with a sense of wonderment. The passion you put into playing the music is great. Those songs, which are some of my all time favorite, (Ave Maria, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and others) meld together to create a beautiful tapestry. My niece will love it, I am sure. It is an honor to be able to present it to her.

  • Everyone loved these selections
    author: Amanda; Houston, TX

    My fiancé and I got married in an old part of Galveston. I had always wanted acoustic guitar played at my wedding but couldn't find a good CD anywhere! I did some web searches and bought two CD’s and this was BY FAR THE BEST!!! Everyone loved the selections and I still listen to the CD!

  • Inspired a Celtic feeling
    author: Judy; Vankleek Hill, Ontario, CANADA

    The CD was amazing! Aside from my husband playing one piece, we used only your CD for all our ceremony music. We found these classical pieces played on the guitar had a Celtic feeling to them which we enjoyed as the bride was part Irish and the groom part Scottish. It sounded beautiful in the Church. Thank you for providing us with the perfect music for our daughter’s wedding!

  • glad I found this
    author: Melissa

    This CD is amazing, exactly what I was looking for! I am so glad I found the perfect music. Thank you for doing what you do.

  • Great for wedding slideshows
    author: John Blair

    Acoustic Wedding would be especially helpful for the couple who is looking for the right music for their wedding. I've also found this to be the perfect music for wedding slideshows. Mark also has a CD of Acoustic Hymns that you can check out as well. John Blair; www.blairweddings.com

  • complements intimate ceremony
    author: Tracy; Michigan

    I found Acoustic Wedding two weeks before my wedding and it is exactly what I was looking for. The music is absolutely beautiful and perfectly complements the setting of our small, intimate ceremony. Thank you so much for this wonderful CD!

  • New and fresh
    author: John Anderson; Midwest Sound Company

    This is a great alternate take on great wedding song standards! For brides that are looking for something new and fresh, this is it. I use it for seating and ceremony music at events where I am responsible for music.

  • Perfect music for unique wedding
    author: Darlene from Prince Edward Island, CANADA

    Thanks again and we are so happy we could get this music. Our son is getting married and he loves guitar, he plays himself, and they also wanted to be unique. This will be perfect.

  • Added an elegance to the wedding
    author: Karen; Maryland

    My son and fiancé wanted an outside wedding. We don't know many accomplished guitarists. Your music was just what we wanted. The simplicity of unaccompanied acoustic guitar added an elegance, while creating an intimate atmosphere.

  • Perfect for my outdoor wedding ceremony
    author: Tracy from PA

    I found your CD, and I love it! It is exactly what I was looking for. I am getting married in the summer, and Acoustic Wedding will be played for our outdoor wedding ceremony. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful CD!

  • I highly recommend
    author: Lindsay; North Carolina

    I wanted to do something different for my wedding ceremony music. I really love acoustic guitar, so I searched and searched and finally found "Acoustic Wedding". It is just perfect. The music is so soothing and beautiful. I highly recommend this album.

  • Emotional...
    author: Kris; Minnesota

    These wedding renditions are personal and sophisticated, deeply emotional. Sure to inspire a ceremony to remember!

  • Magnificent!
    author: Kimberly; Florida

    I looked all over, and couldn’t find traditional songs done as beautifully as these. It will be perfect for my wedding next week. I think your music is amazing Mark - thanks for sharing it with the world.

  • Lovely simple classics
    author: Jaime; Colorado

    When I was planning my wedding, I knew right away that I didn't want my ceremony to be ornate or stuffy. That's why I chose these classics--they were simple, allowing my family and friends to enjoy my wedding itself, rather than the music that marked it.
