Testimonials
Couldn’t recommend Rob enough, he was amazing on the day and made time to phone us before to go over last minute details. We wanted a special song for my walk down the aisle which wasn’t on his list but he learnt it especially for us which was amazing. If you’re thinking of booking Rob definitely do!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rob play guitar at our wedding, and he was fantastic from start to finish. From our very first conversation, he was friendly, professional, and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress free. On the day itself, his playing created such a beautiful atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, it really added something special to the day. If you’re looking for a guitarist who is not only a brilliant musician but also a genuinely lovely person to work with, we can’t recommend Rob highly enough. He helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

The guitarist played for about 2 hours in total at my wedding, during a drinks reception and during dinner service. Great atmosphere easy to speak with and he learnt a new song within about 2 weeks which was appreciated

Rob played two sets at our private party. The acoustic guitar music was perfect for the lunchtime setting. Our guests were really complementary and I particularly enjoyed Rob's version of Foo Fighter's "Everlong". Rob kept things going nicely and finished with a few more lively songs. Rob really made our afternoon, allowed us to relax as hosts. Thank you Rob!

“Rob was absolutely amazing on our wedding. He learnt 3 songs specifically for our ceremony and played the music beautifully. He also played at the reception and created a wonderful atmosphere for our drinks reception. He was so professional and a wonderful musician and so easy to work with on the run up to and on the day. I would 100% recommend him and would certainly book him again. Thank you Rob!”

Rob was so easy to deal with; his performance was really a joy. Everyone commented how lovely the guitar was and I would highly recommend him to any prospective newlyweds.
Michelle Hitchen, Manchester, 29th April 2023
We hired Rob from Love Guitar for our wedding in August, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Rob is not only an amazing guitarist but also a great guy and extremely flexible when it comes to your requirements. He was so kind to learn a new song for us which he not only played flawlessly but looped it organically for as long as it took for my wife to walk down the aisle (what felt like forever!!). His music had this inate ability to ignite emotions. It was like having your personal acoustic soundtrack! Rob played during our ceremony and for an additional 2.5 hours for the outdoor reception. We will be asking any and all friends to hire him in the future so we may make up for the minutes missed during photos 😃

Robs performance provided the perfect backdrop to our wedding day. His music effortlessly blended into the atmosphere, heightening the mood and making our special moments all the more enjoyable.

Loveguitar played for our ceremony and also during the drinks reception. He was very professional and an excellent guitar player and created a wonderful atmosphere :) He even played outside unamplified (due to the rules of our venue) and it was beautiful.

"Rob played at our wedding on 5th June 2021. During the lead up to our wedding Rob was in contact with us and took the time to understand and talk through our plans for the day. He was really accommodating in playing our song requests on the day. All of our guests have commented how brilliant Rob was and made our ceremony and drinks reception even more special. Could not recommend Rob highly enough! "

"Rob did an excellent job at our recent Corporate Event. He arrived in plenty of time to set up and instantly put me, as the organiser, at ease. It was the hottest day of the year, in a listed building which had no air-con and yet somehow he managed to remain professional, entertaining our guests in what I can only say were extreme weather conditions! I would highly recommend Rob. His playlist is never ending, with something for everyone and was played at the perfect volume so not to encroach on the guests who were mingling and chatting. Thank you again Rob, great job from The Momentum Team!"

“Love Guitar aka Rob Shaw recently played at a pre lunch reception for 40 guests in Manchester’s ‘Restaurant MCR’ before we celebrated a birthday lunch.
He impressed to say the least. He arrived early, set up his equipment and did his sound check long before guests began to arrive.
He is a talented musician and added a lot of atmosphere to the start of the lunch, his music choices were spot on for what was a very happy occasion, discreet volume but a definite presence.
He was smart, happy and we would definitely invite him to play at future functions”

“Rob played acoustic guitar, with a choice of songs we were allowed to pick, at our daughter's wedding. It made our daughter's day more special. He was absolutely brilliant and we highly recommend him. An excellent musician, professional and his fee was extremely reasonable in comparison to other musicians we searched the internet for. His service was enhanced by his friendly, professional and helpful manner. We would definitely book him for other special events."

"Thank you for helping to create the relaxed and laid back atmosphere we had hoped for.
About two weeks before our wedding we had decided we wanted an acoustic guitarist to perform at our ceremony and drinks reception! Nothing like leaving things to the last minute!! At such short notice, Rob helped us plan out what we wanted and when with no issues at all. He was every bit the professional on the day and really made the relaxed and romantic atmosphere we were after. So many guests commented on how great Rob was. A huge thanks for everything and we definitely wouldn't hesitate recommending Rob!

"We could not recommend Rob strongly enough. He played before, during and after our wedding ceremony with over 90 guests in attendance and kindly learnt and played a piece of our choice as the Bride walked down the aisle. Our guests enjoyed Rob's relaxed and fun set list (which he was happy to tailor to our taste) which was played to an excellent and professional standard. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Love Guitar for your wedding."

"Rob played our wedding in May and we couldn't of asked for more. He set the tone beautifully for our ceremony. He's a genuine, lovely guy and also a fantastic guitarist. Communication was brilliant and he learnt a requested song with no complaints at all. If you are needing a guitarist for your wedding, then look no further as Rob is your man"

"Rob played at our wedding (ceremony & drinks reception) in April and was the consummate professional throughout - easy to work with, great communication. He travelled quite a distance to be with us, which we were very grateful for - it's difficult to find a purely acoustic guitarist! Rob played beautifully, learning 'A Million Dreams' for the register signing and generally dazzling our guests with a variety of carefully chosen songs. Several guests commented on how good the music was - Rob really added something very special to our day. We would highly recommend Rob!"

"Rob performed during the drinks reception at my wedding three weeks ago. My wife & I couldn't be happier with his service. Not only is he a great guitarist, but he has a beautiful selection of tunes to choose from. Plus, he learned an excellent version of High and Dry by Radiohead for us. Thanks again Rob!"

"The whole process of booking, and pre-event communications with Rob, were excellent. In particular Rob was very proactive is making sure we selected the right kind of music for the event, and sorting out all the details. And on the night he was punctual, & had everything sorted out well before the start of the event. And his performance was great. We were really pleased that I had chosen Rob, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anybody planning a similar event."

"Having Rob Shaw play at our wedding was truly beautiful. He exceeded our expectations in every way and worked with us to make our day unique and special. Guests complemented the romantic atmosphere created by Rob from arrival and during the wedding breakfast. Nothing was ever too much for Rob and his friendly and flexible approach allowed us to select a set of instrumental music that was classic and modern. A real bonus as our guest have such varying music tastes so there really was something for everyone. Rob is a truly talented guitarist and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting to make their wedding or event magical."

He did not disappoint. All the guests remarked at how good he was. His music was the perfect addition to my daughter's special day.

"We hosted a small garden wedding for 50 people at our home. Rob was just the perfect musician for such an event. He played for the cocktail hour and dinner. Rob’s music created a beautiful atmosphere for the event. His sets included both classic and modern songs, all very much tied to the romance of the wedding. Rob is also a really lovely guy, very easy work with. I recommend him highly.”

Dear Rob, thanks very much for playing our birthday party last week. I wanted to write to say how much we all enjoyed the music you played from classic Sinatra to fantastic interpretations of modern songs. Each song was played with such passion and originality that you had our guests talking about the music for long into the night. The music was a perfect accompaniment to our garden cocktail party!
