"Robert was absolutely amazing at my intimate wedding. He learned a special song request we had and also knew all other ceremony music we requested. 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!!!"

"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 "

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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.

"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!"

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!"

"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. "

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!!!"

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! "
