Incredibly talented, very attentive & generally a lovely person! We booked RJ to perform at the drinks reception of our wedding and we were blown away. He is an incredible performer and perfectly captured the laid back and up beat atmosphere that we were hoping for. He set the scene perfectly for the rest of our wedding day. Not only was RJ a brilliant performer, he was incredibly easy to work with and communicated with us brilliantly in the lead up to our wedding - going out of his way to understand the vibe we were hoping to create and take specific requests. On the day RJ was incredibly professional, smart and friendly taking particular attention to congratulate us and ensure that our specific requests were played when we were around to hear them. We would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone for their event.

We had the pleasure of having RJ, an incredibly talented acoustic guitarist, perform at our wedding, and he truly made the day unforgettable. From the moment we booked him, RJ was a joy to work with. He was professional, approachable, and eager to help make the day special. He prepared and performed our requested aisle walk song, setting the perfect tone for the ceremony. During the reception, RJ?s set of acoustic covers was a hit with our guests, creating a fun and lively atmosphere that everyone enjoyed, even the oldies. We can?t recommend Rory highly enough for any event, his talent and personality truly elevated our wedding day.

Excellent for all occasions, RJ performed at our garden party, and he was brilliant. He played songs that were appropriate for the occasion (an 80th birthday party), but his excellent arrangements and exceptional talent meant that all ages were able to enjoy the experience.
