"Marquise performed at our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah reception and did an incredible job! Their enthusiasm and capacity to entertain both the kids and adults was wonderful! Shirleta was fantastic to work with and the kids clearly loved her…she is really gifted Thanks so much for making our daughter’s celebration such a special night!"

Marquise performed magnificently for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and had our guests on the dance floor all night. The kids had a particularly great time enjoying the music and participating on stage. After having ridden the Bar/Bat Mitzvah circuit for the past few years, I unhesitatingly rank Marquise as number one in the Washington/Baltimore area.

"Marquise is a fabulous band, and I would definitely recommend them at anytime. Shirleta really understands how to run a party which is one of the biggest challenges to get an event's momentum up. In fact, I think that many other bands could learn a lot from Marquise and their leader Shirleta. They really know how to throw a party!"

"I wanted to thank you and your bandmates so very much for the outstanding job you did during our convention...To be able to hire you two years in a row was a major plus! As usual, you performed fantastically, even letting some of us 'novice singers' sing with you on stage! We received very positive feedback from our attendees - they had a great time!"

"Marquise did a great job at our daughter's wedding reception.They really turned the evening into a fabulous party, or as one of our guests wrote in a thank you note afterwards, 'a party to end all parties.' Shirleta and the two male singers did a great job of interacting with the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor. The whole band was fun to watch too, they are real entertainers, as well as great musicians. They were very good about adapting to our schedule and keeping the evening flowing. Everyone had such a good time and we couldn't have been more pleased. We wish we could do it all over again!"

"I am writing to say how much my husband and I and all our wedding guests loved Marquise .They sounded great, looked great, and made our reception really fun. There's no doubt that one of the reasons my husband and I have such great memories of our wedding is because of Marquise .Our friends, and ourselves, have been to a lot of weddings in New York City and Washington, D.C. and have all agreed that Marquise was one of the best bands we have heard. They are energetic, the vocalists are all really talented, and the horn and rhythm sections sound great. Shirleta is a thoughtful band leader and has a great sense of humor. She got people out on the dance floor and kept the action moving along. Marquise was also very professional and accommodating."
