Robert McCloy did a fantastic job of performing for my wedding ceremony. I received dozens of compliments afterwards regarding the quality of his play. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a solo guitarist. He truly impressed me that much.

We hired Robert (guitar) and his colleague (saxophonist) 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!

Hello Mr. McCloy,

Brad and I wanted to say thank you for playing your wonderful, beautiful
music at our wedding.  We didn't even get a chance to say that on the day! 
We were both so pleased and impressed~you played our requests so perfectly!

I need to tell you, we have been listening to you perform your music since
we were undergraduates at MSU and you used to play out at the Cappucino Cafe
in Okemos.  I remember saying to Brad, "we must have him play at our wedding
someday!"  We always enjoy you at the Lansing Book & Paper show as well.

You really made our day perfect and we can't thank you enough for that!  You
also received many compliments from our guests at the wedding.

Thank you so very much,

Brad & Sarah

Robert McCloy is a truly gifted musician. He took the time to learn the songs we wanted at our ceremony and even recorded them ahead of time to make sure that he was playing it exactly right. He was professional and a wonderful addition to our wedding. Thanks, Robert!

Being a seasoned musician myself, I was very impressed with the professionalism of these very talented musicians. I would highly recommend Robert McCloy's Classical/Jazz Guitar ensemble for any event that demands the best!

Never having met either gentleman, I was very comfortable with them as were other family members. They were fun and talented. Everyone said they wish they could play all day. It was a lovely touch to the celebration of the day.

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 accommodating with regard to our requests - they even transcribed some of our own Ukrainian folk music to add to an already rich mix of classical, jazz, 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.

J. & I watched our video last night and really got to appreciate the beauty of your music. On our actual wedding day, we were so caught up in the moment that we did not get to really tune in. We had lots of compliments on how nice the music was and we feel that it was a very special touch. Thanks so much for sharing your talent – we loved it!

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.

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.

Hello Robert, Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for your guitar accompaniment at our wedding at Mackinac Island on October 22, 2005. Your music added a very special touch to our wedding ceremony. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. Thank you!

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.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Mayes

Dear Mr. McCloy, We would like to thank you for the beautiful music you provided for us on our wedding day. We are still getting compliments on how wonderful the music was at the wedding and reception. Our wedding would not have been as perfect without your music, and we are grateful that you were willing to drive all the way up to Saint Ignace to perform on our special day.

Sincerely,

Robert McCloy and his band displayed the utmost professionalism, versatility, and talent when he played at our wedding and reception. We received so many compliments from our guests on our choice of musicians and their range of styles...there was something played for everybody!! Robert and his accompanying musicians played a broad variety of Celtic, bluegrass/country, oldies rock, jazz/swing. They sang and played everything from fiddles to guitars. They were both classy AND fun, which is a hard combination to pull off.

Thank you so much Robert!!

Dear Robert:

Thank you for providing the University Club of MSU with wonderful music for many of our Club events throughout the year. I receive so many positive comments from Club members stating how much your guitar performances have enhanced our Sunday Brunch Buffets, creating an elegant and relaxing atmosphere.

We were also very pleased to have the Robert McCloy Jazz Trio perform this past May for our MSU Graduation Dinner and again in June for the Club's Father's Day Brunch celebration. The jazz trio was the perfect addition to both of these special events.

We always enjoy the opportunity to work with you and appreciate the high level of musical talent you provide the University Club.

Thank You Again Robert!

Sincerely,

Marilyn K. Groom
Club Manager

"Just wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed your music here at the Governor's Residence. Your solo style has provided the perfect background for many of our receptions and when we want to get a little more lively, the trio has been delightful.

Aside from the music which has enhanced so many events here, I really appreciate your professional style. Your timely arrival, your flexibility, and your sense of what is appropriate at any given time, are all factors that make it easy for me to rely on you. (And of course it doesn't hurt that the Governor and Mrs. Engler enjoy your music too!) Thanks for doing a great job!"

"It is my pleasure to recommend Robert McCloy, a truly fine classical guitarist. Robert's musical talent and versatility have been well received at a number of our association's functions."

" The United Artist Council would like to thank you for performing... The music in your performance was exciting and fun and your energy level helped to brighten the day for all of those who attended. Your fifty minute performance of classical and jazz music on the guitar sparked much interest in the community. Several people have come into our office and commented on your splendid presentation.

I would also like to thank you for your cooperation with our organization. We were grateful at how well you handled the specifics of the contract. You returned it promptly and were on time for your performance."

"You have been a pleasure to work with in providing quality entertainment for both our special events as well as our monthly Champagne Brunches. I look forward to seeing you out at the club again in the near future. Thank you again!"

"Although there was quite a delay for you to perform, due to our medical facility tours, I appreciate your flexibility in playing at a later hour from what was originally planned. As a result, our guests enjoyed themselves so well that the fair lasted much longer than I had anticipated. I have only heard positive comments on how lovely the reception and entertainment was.

It is our intent to host future exhibitions, and whenever possible, I will recommend your services again."
