Best violinist ever!

I called a week before my big day because I had someone cancel on me. Robyn was able to help me out, and she sounded phenomenal! She made my day so special, I wish I had hired her to begin with! I highly recommend!!

Our Favorite Vendor

I cannot express how grateful I am for booking Robyn James Ensembles for our wedding. Not only was her communication amazing throughout the process, their music added the most romantic touch to our wedding day. We requested that she hilariously learn a song from the movie wedding singer and it turned out so beautiful. Thank you to Robyn and her crew being a stress-free vendor on our big day.

The Perfect Detail

Working with Robyn was a wonderful experience all around. She has a wonderful personality and we had a wonderful rapport! Planning a destination wedding had it's challenges, but this process was not one of them. Robyn was organized and professional and her Ensemble for our outdoor wedding and then our indoor cocktail hour was the perfect detail!! This truly was a dream wedding and would not have been the same without Robyn! The arrangements of our custom songs were the added touch that made our day perfect! The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance sounded AMAZING! I am so grateful to have found the Robyn James Ensemble!

Fall Wedding in Tennessee

Robyn did a beautiful job at wedding and was beyond gracious at accommodating my unusual requests. A few of my guests even recorded a few of their songs from their phone because they were so beautifully done. I am beyond happy we chose her for our special day.

Robyn James Ensemble was magical!

My daughter wanted strings for her wedding. In not knowing where to turn for hiring an ensemble, we asked our musical friends and got connected to Robyn James. Robyn worked with us to figure out the best options for us and when looking at the music my daughter wanted, even had a way to add a song not in their listed offerings.
They were very professional. They came and set up and added musical magic to the ceremony. It would not have been the same without them!
I have 2 more daughters and a son. I have a feeling we'll be hiring Robyn James Ensemble again!
