Robert is a professional - prompt in responding to my questions, and he also has a ton of experience with weddings and it shows! The battery powered amp he brought was extra special for our outdoor wedding. The guests were so impressed with his talent as well. I'd recommend Robert McCloy to anyone needing a live musician - he's great!!!"

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!

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!"

"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.

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!"
