5/5
R Jay was brilliant... He arrived and set up well in advance and played music to help fill the delayed arrival of the bride. He learnt three new songs for the ceremony which we requested and were not on his list and they all sounded great and gave the ceremony a really personal touch. His two sets sounded wonderful and so many people commented on how good he was. All in all, a five star performance which we were delighted with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Very good musician and very pleasant man to deal with. Was very popular with our guests and would definitely recommend for other people's weddings or events.
Simply amazing. Stylish, beautiful voice, friendly and made our day. Can’t thank R Jay enough and would highly recommend.
RJ was fantastic! Friendly and an amazingly talented singer who everyone thought was fantastic. He did a range of songs that kept us all entertained and when we requested songs, he was happy to oblige. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Fab night was had by all thanks to RJ.
Prior to our wedding my husband and I had a conversation with R Jay regarding the music list and extra songs we would like. R Jay was so accommodating and let us choose what songs we wanted. I received a confirmation email from him the day before the wedding which also helped to put my mind at ease. He was very prompt and had set up and was playing by the time we walked through to the conservatory (which is what I had requested) so our guests were greeted by him playing. Every song R Jay played/sang sounded brilliant, he’s a great guitarist and has a lovely voice and was exactly how we imagined the music to be at our wedding. We would highly recommend R Jay and will also keep him in mind for our future events. Thanks again!
R Jay was brilliant! He was super friendly, music was amazing and all of the guests couldn't stop talking about him... would highly recommend to anyone looking for live music!
R Jay Acoustic. One for the ladies, and a charming and wonderful singer. My guests enjoyed an early evening dance and sing along. Fabulous voice. Would book again for other events.
R Jay was excellent and assisted in every way to my schedule. A pleasant man and more importantly a great singer. I will certainly use him again in the future.
