HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_YOUR_ARTISTAbsolutely brilliant, we couldn't be happier with Keith or how he played DID_YOU_HAVE_ANY_ISSUES_ON_THE_DAYAll our guests have said he was wonderful.

HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_YOUR_ARTISTMusic Volume, appearance were perfect and although the guys did turn up on time they were cutting it a little fine. We were hoping that they would be there before 7pm rather than after so that they could start as soon as the guests boarded, however, they didn't take long to set up. Just caused me extra stress and worry that they would miss the boat which was leaving at 7.15pm DID_YOU_HAVE_ANY_ISSUES_ON_THE_DAYmusic was excellent IF_NEEDED_WOULD_YOU_HIRE_THIS_ARTIST_AGAINdefinitely recommend to others HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_THIS_AGENCYeverything was very smooth CAN_YOU_RECOMMEND_IMPROVEMENTS_TO_OUR_ADMINISTRATION_OR_OUR_WEBSITEnice to hear the recordings up front | NAME_OF_CUSTOMER: Rebecca Robertson (Phelan) EVENT_DATE: 07/07/07 HIRE_CODE: RU-03
HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_YOUR_ARTISTTimekeeping on the day was perfect They (RU-03) looked fantastic The music, volume etc etc. was spot on for such an occasion. DID_YOU_HAVE_ANY_ISSUES_ON_THE_DAYThey were great, some of our guests asked for some very strange requests and the guys were great they just played whatever people wanted. I think one cheeky chappy that we know asked them if they (RU-03) would play 'chim chiminey' and also 'the birdie song', which they did in good humour. IF_NEEDED_WOULD_YOU_HIRE_THIS_ARTIST_AGAINYes HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_THIS_AGENCYYour response times have been great Your communication levels are great, you kept in constant contact, which is very reassuring when trying to ensure that everything will be right for us on such a special day. Yes we got value for money and it was very easy to book artists with you. CAN_YOU_RECOMMEND_IMPROVEMENTS_TO_OUR_ADMINISTRATION_OR_OUR_WEBSITEYes - I liked the level of communication and I am also glad to have the opportunity to offer our feedback. FINALLY_DO_YOU_HAVE_ANY_OTHER_COMMENTSYes - My family and I would like to thank you and the artists (RU-03) very very much for everything you did to make my husband and my wedding day extra special. The presence of (RU-03) on our special day made it even more special. They were everything and more of what we expected. We also appreciate how easy you have made it at the Romantic Guitar Agency to book artists. Booking a musician(s) for such an important occasion is not something we have done before and until we found your agency, we were struggling to find something appropriate for the day and the whole task was becoming very worrying. We wish you every success in the future and when we have the opportunities, we will recommend both your agency and (RU-03) to anyone who requires live music for an event. | NAME_OF_CUSTOMER: Adam Scott EVENT_DATE: 28 July 2007 HIRE_CODE: MU-01
HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_YOUR_ARTISTAll faultless. DID_YOU_HAVE_ANY_ISSUES_ON_THE_DAYHis MU-01's) playing was magnificent and he worked very hard. He graciously agreed to play for an extended period and our guests were very pleased! IF_NEEDED_WOULD_YOU_HIRE_THIS_ARTIST_AGAINYes in a heartbeat. I would recommend MU-01 to absolutely anyone - a professional and very fine musician and a polite and warm person. We were very, very happy with him. HOW_WOULD_YOU_RATE_THIS_AGENCYGetting married is a hugely expensive affair. As soon as service providers hear the word 'Wedding' they seem to think that adding another 50% to the bill is totally justified. By contrast, the service we received from The Romantic Guitar Agency was incredible value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. Response time was excellent, customer care first rate. I felt that we were getting a very personal, first class service and I certain feel that the Agency met my needs fully and offered a huge variety of artists to meet every mood. The artist we chose was perfect! CAN_YOU_RECOMMEND_IMPROVEMENTS_TO_OUR_ADMINISTRATION_OR_OUR_WEBSITENone. Perhaps a few less emails if I really had to think of something, but even this shows the high value put on communication, confirmation and customer care. FINALLY_DO_YOU_HAVE_ANY_OTHER_COMMENTSHis performance MU-01 set the mood for the entire reception. So many people commented to us on the wonderful relaxed atmosphere that the warm background music created, which was exactly what we were hoping to achieve. Of all the decisions made in the preparation of our marriage, booking MU-01 was probably the best! Can't recommend or thank him enough for the outstanding job he did. | NAME_OF_CUSTOMER: Chris Wheeler EVENT_DATE: 13/7/07 HIRE_CODE: AG-01
