Amazing experience
Excellent evening. Robert arrived early with plenty of time to set up and sound check. Ensured sound levels were exactly what we wanted. Brillant music enjoyed by all - we have had lots of positive comments. Would recommend without any reservations and if needed would definitely use Robert again. Robert is polite and personable as well!
Robert was absolutely brilliant at our wedding. He played for us as I walked down the aisle, while we signed the register and during our drinks reception. He played beautifully, his set up was smart and we had so many comments on how wonderful and special the music was. I would certainly recommend him for any event!
Very good thx
We recently booked Rob for our wedding and couldn’t recommend him more highly! Rob is a brilliant performer - we had several compliments from guests that our entertainment (Rob plus a DJ / roaming musicians arranged through Rob) were the best they’d ever seen at a wedding!
Just as importantly Rob was fantastically easy to deal with end-to-end, super responsive and great value for money.
Rob played for our wedding reception. He was absolutely perfect, created a fabulous atmosphere and played beautifully. Rob was super easy to work with, and always responded efficiently to my emails. Couldn’t recommend Rob enough!
Robert was brilliant from start to finish, from the moment I got into contact with Robert his communication was great, I felt so at ease booking with him. Robert has a huge list of songs that he’s able to perform, there is a bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. Robert absolutely made our wedding & our guest all commented on how great he was. Even my son 2 years old at the time loved dancing along! Would highly recommend Robert & will definitely use him again for any future events.
Robert's afternoon saxophone performance at our wedding was simply outstanding! With his incredible musical talent, he effortlessly set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. The lively melodies and infectious beats turned the atmosphere into a joyous party. Moreover, Robert was incredibly easy to work with, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We can't thank him enough for making our special day even more memorable!
Robert played at our wedding and created a fantastic atmosphere during the ceremony and drinks reception. Robert has a great set list, the music was perfect for our day and he played beautifully. Not only is Robert a fantastic saxophone player, he has great style, ‘suited and booted’, and he really was everything we was hoping for on our special day and more. Robert was a pleasure to deal with, a true gentleman and nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a saxophone player for your wedding, look no further, I recommend you book Robert Benson.
Robert played at our engagement party on New Years Eve and was absolutely fab! We had so many of our guests message us the following day to say how great he was. He was professional, and played a mix of songs to suit our audience. We would definitely recommend Robert!
Robert played at our wedding on the 17th November 2018 and was absolutely fantastic! He is a very talented musician and we and all our guests loved his sound. I would absolutely recommend Robert to anyone, was a perfect addition to our day! Thank you so so much.
Robert played at our wedding in September and was absolutely fantastic. Our wedding reception was help in a Tipi tent with a Festival theme and Robert played for a couple of hours as guests arrived and before dinner. Would absolutely recommend for any occasion. Thank you so much Robert, you set the tone for a truly magical day!
