A musician who can even arrange new songs for you!

Robert Brown played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and did an amazing job! I was just sad I wasn't able to sit and listen to everything he was playing! He was responsive, flexible, and very easy to work with. I was so impressed that he even created two new arrangements for our wedding day including the song we walked up the aisle to, You Make My Dreams Come True. Robert made the process so easy, which is exactly what you need for your event, not to mention he sounded amazing as well. I wholly recommend him for your event.

Definitely recommend!

We knew that we wanted to hire Robert and his string trio to provide music for our ceremony and cocktail hour after hearing them play at a friend's wedding. They have a wonderful mix of classical, traditional and modern music, and also learned some new pieces for our wedding as part of their standard contract. We got so many compliments on the music, and Robert himself was fantastic to work with - he was very responsive, and just so nice throughout the entire process. We would definitely recommend hiring Robert and his trio to anyone!

GREAT Guitarist and more!

We looked at a lot of musicians for our wedding, for some reason we kept coming back to Robert. When we contacted him he was very responsive and answered any questions that we had. After talking things over, we decided that Robert was the guy for us, but there was a problem, we just couldn’t find the right vocalist on our own. I contacted Robert back and even tough his web page didn’t mention a vocalist, he recommended Samuel Krausz. We wasn’t sure about Sam because he didn’t have much material for us to listen to in the way of wedding music. Please, if you are looking for a wonderful guitarist and a vocalist to go along with him, don’t deprive yourself of these two. I think everyone at our wedding came up and told my wife and I how amazing they sounded. Thank you Robert and Sam, we would hire you again in a heartbeat. Tammy and Steph Boyd

We Can't Imagine A Better Experience

Robert was one of the kindest most professional vendors we met during our engagement and wedding. I first contacted Robert to play solo guitar for my fiance and me during the engagement dinner at L Restaurant. A wonderful guitarist and gentleman, he played beautifully and was a perfect compliment to the evening. We followed-up with Robert to arrange the music for our wedding. Unfortunately, he could not play the wedding himself, but arranged for an excellent group of strings to play for us. During the lead-up to the wedding, he worked closely with us to determine the music selections and was very flexible and accomodating. Truly a gentleman and a professional! Thank you!

Amazing!

Robert Brown is such a professional!! He found us the BEST string trio (guitar, violin and cello)!! Mr. Brown's arrangements are so enjoyable - our guests were thoroughly entertained with such a wonderful performance. They really enhanced our pre ceremony gathering, ceremony and cocktail hour!! You better get a call in to him because I have already recommended him to so many for 2019!

Outstanding!

Robert was fantastic. He took the time to compose some original arrangements based on some pretty specific piece requests we had. The music was beautiful.

Robert Brown Music

Robert was absolutely perfect! I could not have been happier. He is a great guitarist, and helped me make the best song choices for my wedding. He worked with my soloist before the wedding to ensure that it was perfect. And, it was!! I highly recommend.

Robert and the rest of the string group we hired for our wedding were absolutely outstanding! Not only did they drive 2 hours to our venue, but they also managed to improvise and still find a way to play at our outdoor ceremony even though it was raining. Robert was very responsive anytime I had any questions, and was willing to personally compose some specific songs we wanted to hear. His pricing is also very reasonable in comparison to other vendors I had looked at. Would highly recommend!

Robert Brown is exceptional! If you're looking for a classical guitarist (or a duo/trio that includes classical guitar), you want to secure Robert Brown for your wedding. In addition to being an incredible musician with an impressive selection of offerings, Robert is truly a professional. Through every step in the process, Robert empowered my husband and I to choose exactly what we wanted for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He helped us determine the other instruments we wanted for our ceremony, and was extremely flexible with the pieces of music we chose. Several of our guests mentioned how impressed they were with Robert. He delivered an amazing and memorable performance, and demonstrated unparalleled professionalism. Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
