TESTIMONIALS Dave & Jackie Van Ochten Dear Robert; Dave and I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you did with our wedding music! It was beautiful! You did an awesome job! You sure do have a special talent. Thanks again, Brian V Mr. McCloy did an outstanding job. He represented himself with a down to earth professionalism that was well received by the public. I would highly recommend him and look forward to having him perform for us again. Tim and Kris Ebeling May 28, 2010 Hi Robert, Stephanie B 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! Ann Tipton Robert - Emily C. 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! Amy Baker Hi Robert, I wanted to thank you again for doing such a beautiful job playing at our wedding. Do you sell CD's of your recordings that might include the songs you played at our wedding? I loved your arrangements of the Beatles songs. Please let me know! We had a lot of people that commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony music, and I won't hesitate to refer them to you. Many thanks, Amy Judith K Robert was so accommodating 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! Audrey B 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.
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. Angela Gray Hi Robert, Angela Gray Teresa D. 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. Alison Gould Robert - thanks again for everything. The music during the ceremony was beautiful...exactly what we wanted. Wish I would have had a chance to chat and hear more! Thanks -- Alison Bob S. To couples seeking the best in musicians - Reverend Ed and I, are retired Congregational ministers. For the past 19 years, we have performed weddings all around northern Michigan. It is always a genuine delight knowing Robert McCloy will be their musician. We have worked with Robert for the past 12 years. The professionalism and amazing musical talents he possess, is truly outstanding. Whether it is Robert with his guitar, or Robert and the additional musicians he performs with....it is wonderful to hear the music produced. His desire to create just the right musical feeling for a ceremony and reception is his number one priority. That's another reason we admire and respect Robert. Ed and I strongly believe a wedding is about the couple, their beliefs and personalities. It is the same thing with Robert. If there are any delays, or unexpected problems that come up before, during or even right after the ceremony;....when we work with Robert, we know he will instantly see what is happening, and seamlessly 'cover' the situation at hand. And the music selections he plays! He is diversified and educated in a myriad of musical knowledge....classical, jazz, rock & roll, calypso, show tunes...and more. Sometimes, we will stop in at a bridal reception, to have the joy of listening to him play. If you are seeking the best musician for your special day; whether it is a wedding ceremony, a renewal of vows, an anniversary celebration, or just a joyful gathering of friends and relatives.....consider the services that Robert McCloy has to offer. Cordially, Tracey C Kelton C. Michell & Ryan Hershberger

From: Lindsey Hartway August 8, 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 recommend him to friends.From: Nicole L. Grand Ledge, MI September 27, 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. From: Tonia Hale Allison T. May 11, 2008 Amanda K. March 27, 2008 Tina S. March 18, 2008 Mark A. February 4, 2008 Polly B. January 21, 2008 Catherine Matthews From: Brad & Sarah Payne Hello Mr. McCloy, From: Lenore V. 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! From: James S. September 29, 2007 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! From: Linda S. July 13, 2007 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. From: Dzwinka H June 9, 2007 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. Dzwinka H From: Fawn B. June 21, 2006 Rob McCloy is professional as well as awesome!!! Compliments are still rolling in about the 'touch of class' he brought to our wedding ceremony!!!

From: Heather and Gregg Probst January 2006 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! Heather and Gregg Probst
August 2005 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 From: Pamela Collis August 25, 2005 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.
