Feedback

  • Bob was really fantastic! Family loved him and he played much longer then I thought he would of!! 5++ -- Todd B, North Adams, MI, 8/13/2011
  • Robert McCloy is very professional, talented, and he was the perfect addition to our ceremony and reception. He is a 10! Hire him! -- Michelle P, Port Sanilac, MI, 7/23/2011
  • Robert was PERFECT! From the very start, he showed his professionalism in responding quickly to our inquiry. Behind the scenes he coordinated with our pianist and accomodated us by playing two instruments (violin & guitar). He also knew how to fit into our wedding program without us micromanaging him. Many of our guests remarked to us afterwards about how wonderful it was to have such a talented musician. Thank you very much, Robert, for helping to make our wedding day perfect! Regards, Freddie & Heather -- Frederick B, Port Sanilac, MI, 6/11/2011
  • Robert was a pleasure to have at our event! We would recommend to everyone, and will use him again if the opportunity arises. -- Lori M, Plymouth, MI, 5/21/2011
  • Mr. McCloy arrived well ahead of time. Many of my guests commented on how well he played. I personally found Mr. McCloy to be a consummate professional and very easy with which to work. He was timely and prompt on both email and phone calls, which made it easy to work out the particulars of the event. I WILL use him again at my first opportunity to do so. I might also add that Gigmasters is the best thing since sliced bread. It is hard to believe that I kind of stumbled upon this service during a typical web search. I am telling all of my friends about "Bob" and Gigmasters. -- Harold N, Saline, MI, 2/27/2011
  • My wedding guests and I were *very* impressed with Robert's talent, professionalism, and personable nature. I am grateful to him that he agreed to come to Columbus (in winter!) to play for us. It was a small affair, but his playing was a lovely, elegant touch that everyone loved. -- Jaime H, Columbus, OH, 12/29/2010
  • Robert was a wonderful addition to our party. Several guests made positive comments on both the feeling of having acoustic music playing and Roberts talent. I did not give 5 stars on professionalism and overall talent only because my experience with hiring musicians is so limited. The 4.5 rating does not reflect any disappointment. Just a lack of background by which to rate those categories. We will certainly use Robert again if we have the opportunity, and would also refer him to anyone looking to add a lovely element to their celebration. Thanks Robert! -- Mitch B, Zeeland, MI, 12/17/2010
  • Music was perfect for our party and he took only one very short break in 3 hours. -- Joann S, Coldwater, MI, 8/20/2010
  • He was great! Didn't have to worry about a thing! -- Leah V, Dearborn, MI, 7/25/2010
  • Classical/Jazz Guitar Ensemble was outstanding in every respect. Right from the first telephone interview I was impressed. Robert McCloy was easy to communicate with, prompt in his replies and most helpful and accomodating with regard to our requests - they even transcribed some of our own Ukraininan folk music to add to an already rich mix of classical, jass, rock, celtic, pop and toe tapping dancing music. The trio we hired brought multiple instruments so the music they produced was beautifully rich in tone and beautifully performed. The amplification was perfect - wonderfully audible but not so painfully loud as to prohibit any hope of conversation or pleasing listening and they played continuously for six hours with only minimal breaks. We enjoyed beautiful music during cocktails and dinner and then danced the night away. They achieved the almost impossible - they appealed, equally well, to both the older guests AND the younger set and their varsatility and talent in all genres of music was amazing. We are still getting compliments on our choice of music and musicians. Robert and his fellow musicians added to the perfection of my daughter's wedding day and I can honestly say that this group is very professional and talented and I recommend them very highly for any type of event. Dzwinka (Mother of the Bride - June 9, 2007 Wedding) -- Dzwinka H, Cleveland, OH, 6/9/2007
  • Did an excellent job and was very professional. -- Sandra R, White Lake, MI, 3/21/2010
  • Robert did a great job at my recent wedding. He arrived on time despite the challenge of getting to the restaurant. During the ceremony we had ring blessing that I did not tell him about, he picked up playing so everything went very smoothly. He brought a microphone and amp that was very easy to use so we could have readings by family members during the ceremony. He was very easy to communicate with via phone and email. His quick responses put me at ease. Thanks again Robert! -- Stephanie B, Detroit, MI, 1/1/2010
  • As a professional musician myself, I had high standards and expectations for music at our wedding. Mr. McCloy not only met these, he exceeded them. We had some specific requests which he swiftly met, and his overall playing was amazing. All of our guests enjoyed it, and it really gave our wedding a special atmosphere. I can't recommend him enough! -- Emily , Lake Orion, MI, 10/17/2009
  • Robert was so accomodating and patient with the many volunteers involved in planning this special evening at our church. Our committee was so pleased that he was able to be with us. It really added a unique touch to our celebration. Robert played the many Marian songs that we requested so beautifully. We would love to welcome him back to our church again and again! -- Judith K, Dearborn, MI, 10/12/2009
  • Robert and his lovely guitar solos were an integral part of our wedding ceremony and celebration. He made our special day all that much more wonderful! I'll definitely pass along his name to friends in the future. -- Audrey B, East Lansing, MI, 10/10/2009
  • Robert McCloy added such a special touch to our outdoor wedding! His music was beautiful! Our guests loved the selections he played and commented on how easy he made it look to put on such an amazing performance. Even without a rehearsal together, Robert was playing exactly when he needed to be at every point in the ceremony. Music is so important for setting the right tone at events such as our wedding, and Robert McCloy set the perfect tone for our special day. I recommend him to anyone who wants that extra something special at their wedding ceremony. -- Elizabeth V, Richland, MI, 7/18/2009
  • Robert was very professional with his communication prior to the event and was able to meet my musical requests. He was very punctual and was able to meet and exceed my expectations as my ceremony started late. I received many compliments after the event related to the ceremony music provided. I would recommend Robert to anyone wanting high-quality guitar music as part of their event. -- Teresa D, East Lansing, MI, 8/9/2009
  • Robert was fantastic! I would invite him to join us again for our next event and highly recommend him. -- Bob S, Detroit, MI, 4/3/2009
  • Robert was great, music selection perfect, whole experience perfect. Thank You so much for the terrific service. -- Tracey C, Dearborn, MI, 2/5/2009
  • Excellent experience! Robert is very professional; and very prompt. The music was amazing. Our guest throughly enjoyed his performance. Thanks so much! -- Kelton C, Indianapolis, IN, 11/10/2008
  • Robert was great! He arrived on time (even early, I think) and was very polite and professional. The music he played was perfect and exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. He even learned several new songs that we requested! I would definitely recommend him to any couple that is looking for an experienced and thoughtful classical guitarist. Thanks again Robert! -- Annie T, Saugatuck, MI, 10/4/2008
  • Mr. McCloy is very easy to work with. He made the music portion of my daughter's wedding so stress free. The guitar music was so relaxing and set a lovely tone for the entire ceremony. In addition, the GigMasters service included the most helpful reminder checklist one week before the wedding. That was such a professional touch that helped me to avoid any last minute problems. Thank You!!! -- Katie R, Bloomfield Hills, MI, 10/4/2008
  • He was great, everyone loved the music, the choice selection was awesome! Thank you so much for making our day even more special! -- Kristal M, Oxford, MI, 9/20/2008
  • Robert was awesome. He was more prepared than we were! Everybody talked about how they enjoyed his music. Some people sang along while he played before the ceremony. Robert was a very nice guy and we were only sorry that we did not get to hear as much of him as our guests, because he played during our cocktail our and during the seating of our guests. Hire Robert if you want a real professional at your wedding. -- Nicole L, Grand Ledge, MI, 9/27/2008
  • We had Robert McCloy play the guitar during our wedding ceremony. The music was beautiful and we got so many compliments on him. I would definitely use him again and reccomend him to friends. -- Lindsey H, Rochester, MI, 8/8/2008
  • Mr. McCloy was very professional and performed beautifully at my outdoor July wedding and cocktail hour in Vernon Hills, Illinois. I especially appreciate his efforts to learn and perform songs that were important to my family and me. -- Tonia H, Vernon Hills, IL, 7/5/2008

  • Everyone loved his performance. It greatly added to our evening. -- Polly B, East Lansing, MI, 1/19/2008
  • We hired Robert (guitar) and his colleague (saxaphonist) for a 70th birthday party for my Dad. They were very professional, arrived early and the music was exceptional. I wished I could have them play for me all of the time! Every single guest commented to me on how fabulous they were. There were many age groups at our party from 2 to 82. They played a great mix of music that entertained, and kept the interest of everyone. I will definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who is looking for music for their events. If anyone is reading this review trying to decide whether they should hire these guys, do it! You won't regret it! -- Catherine M, Lansing, MI, 10/27/2007

  • I was so happy with these musicians! Before the wedding, Robert was always willing to discuss any questions I had and always returned my calls promptly. They accommodated my requests for special music with no problems and it sounded just like the CD I had given them to learn the songs from. They played beautifully and I never had to worry about them all day. I would recommend their services to any bride who wants something more elegant than a DJ for her special day. -- Stephanie M, East Lansing, MI, 8/14/2005
  • Robert McCloy was absolutely patient and accommodating, particularly given the lengthy coordination provided him by our group. He was always quick to respond with answers to the questions we posed in planning our engagement. Guests remarked that he was quite talented, and possessed a warm personality. I will certainly keep Mr. McCloy in mind for any future entertainment needs. -- Ron C, Mount Pleasant, MI, 11/4/2006
  • Robert was very easy to work with, and was very helpful in selecting musical pieces for my daughter's wedding. He sent us several MP3 files of possible selections so that we could hear how they sounded as solo pieces. All of our contact with Robert was professional with prompt responses, he arrived on time, and played beautifully throughout the wedding ceremony. Thank you for helping to make her special day a success. -- Jean F, Berkey (toledo), OH, 5/20/2006
