AMAZING! Robby was honestly a joy. We worked with a ton of vendors for our wedding including other musicians and none were as attentive, responsive, flexible or attuned to our needs. Robby happily composed special specific music for us for our ceremony (from Spotify tracks) and they came out better than perfect. Above all, he wanted us to be happy and satisfied with his work and it showed. I would trust him with my first born. Thank you for everything Robby!

Robby took care of EVERYTHING, I didn't even have to give him a list of songs and everyone complimented the music! If you hire them, you have nothing to worry about! Our music was very specific Jewish music, and he had exactly what we wanted!
