Rob’s beautiful music really made our wedding ceremony in November. He played acoustic guitar as I walked down the aisle with my Dad and sung us into the church and a really moving piano version of one of mine and my husband’s favourite songs as we signed the register. Finally, he led the whole congregation in a rousing rendition of Elbow’s one day like this as we left the church – it was a highlight of the day and brought something really unique to our special day.

Rob played our wedding last year and it was wonderful, especially when he played as I walked down the aisle. He kept everyone entertained during the afternoon, playing some old favourites as well as some awesome crowd pleasers. Thanks Rob, you were great!
