    5 stars, would recommend

    Marvillous Beats, the R&B/Hip-Hop violinist, was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was prompt, professional, and easy. They arrived on time and played beautifully, adding such a wonderful energy to our special day. The quality of their performance was truly stunning - their talent and artistry shone through in every note. We couldn't have asked for a more talented and skilled musician to help make our wedding so memorable. Marvillous Beats was worth every penny and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful and unique musical experience.

    Truly Marvillous

    I did a lot of research to find what I felt like was the perfect musician for our wedding day. I wanted someone that could play the classics for our ceremony but then bring fun and energy to the cocktail hour and Marvill was exactly the right fit. He was so easy to work with- we had a very small wedding so did not have a planner and Marvill was all set up before I even realized he had arrived. He was a champ playing in the hot sun during our ceremony and we were all so impressed with his talent. You won’t regret hiring Marvill!

    Thank you so much! Anything for the moment :)


By default for weddings, I wear a typical black bow-tie, white-collar shirt, black slacks, and black designer shoes. For all other events, I wear business casual attire.
Yes, I learn new songs for a fee of $50 per song. My official song list can be viewed on my website https://www.marvbeats.com/songlist
Though I am classically trained, I specialize in R&B/Hip-Hop violin. My catalog is very unique! You won't find other violinists with my range of urban pop music and classics. I'm also a music producer and audio engineer so special requests and mixes can be requested/booked.
I preload my iPod before every event so I cannot take requests on the spot.
Yes, I usually perform with instrumentals played from my iPod with a preloaded playlist.
I always plan to arrive 25-30 minutes before performance time to park and do a 5-7 minute setup.
Once travel is over 30 minutes away one way, I use "RideGuru" to quote travel fees for the roundtrip. If the location is over two hours away, then a flight or Amtrak round-trip ticket; rideshare, insurance, and also if needed a hotel fee will be added to the total.
