Long after the party was over, people were still be telling me how fantastic the band was

I cannot thank you enough for the joy that you brought to our wedding day. The band was absolutely fantastic! You knew exactly how to read the crowd and with each song our guests couldn't wait to hit the dance floor! And I must say how impressed I was that you incorporated Melissa (a very talented young vocalist and family member) into the evening perfectly, and without any rehearsal!

Long after the party was over, people were still be telling me how fantastic the band was. So please, thank everyone for me! A wedding day is so much more enjoyable when you know you have fantastic vendors to take care of everything for you, and you did just that! Carlin & I are so thankful that we had you and will be recommending your talent to all of our friends!

Thank you for the tremendous performance... your contribution made people come, and stay, in the park

On behalf of Gwen and Brittany (Entertanment Committee) , I would like to thank you for the tremendous performance that you did for Canada’s Largest Ribfest. Your contribution made people come, and stay, in the park. This was a record year for us – while we don’t have all the final numbers, your contribution helped us retain our title as Canada’s Largest – over the 4 days, we had over 175,000 people through the park (148,000 in 2008). In the 14 years that we have done the Ribfest, this year’s proceeds will put us at over $2 million raised for various charitable work in Burlington, in Ontario and around the world, thanks to the work of Rotary and the Rotary Foundation. Thank you and I hope our paths will cross again in future years…..you have a new fan in me and may see me at any local gigs you have.

Your playing reflected the art in a sparkling fashion

Rob, I just wanted to reiterate what I said to you on July 6th. Thanks so much for playing for us at our first "Art's Walk" of the summer season. Sandra ( Owner of The Sandra Ainsley gallery) expressed how beautiful your music was and how perfectly it filled the air. A gentleman who visited us here, as you played, made a comment that your piano interpretations particularly complimented the exquisite art collection featured by international glass artist Peter Powning. He said, "your playing reflected the art in a sparkling fashion that made his experience here this time especially memorable". We look forward to enjoying your talented piano playing again and will recommend you for many of our events coming up here and in The Distillery District as well.

Thanks again,

Over the last few years and many corporate and private parties, I must say, you are an essential part of our party planning. Whether rock and roll, quiet background music,Scottish jigs or encouraging our guests to join you in live Karaoke, you certainly keep the party alive. Thank you for helping to make each party fun! I cannot imagine a party without you. As Caleb, our young son, would say "You rock!" Stay tuned for the next party!

Thanks again Rob for a terrific day. As you know, this CanWest dinner was incredibly important to me and you did me proud, as usual. Both the trio in the afternoon and your solo efforts in the evening were professional and polished - exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for never letting me down - you are one of my "rock" suppliers.

The Highlight of the Event… was Rob Reed and "THE RAT PACK"

We recently had an event with a 1940-50's theme. We hired celebrity look-alikes such as Fred Astaire and Humphrey Bogart among others for atmosphere and entertainment. The highlight of the event, however, was Rob Reed and "THE RAT PACK". For weeks after the event, customers were still commenting on how good the band was. We probably could have gotten away with just hiring just " THE RAT PACK" and no other entertainment - they were that good!

Rob and the rest of the band arrived and were set up in plenty of time, came dressed for the party and were professional on all accounts. The things that impressed me the most, however, was their ability to work the audience and their flexibility in going with the flow, such as working with other the other entertainers we had hired.

A few weeks before the event, I had faxed all the entertainers an outline of the day including the story line of the doll we were promoting. Within a few days, Rob unexpectedly dropped off a story about the fictional meeting of his band and the dolls character. It was so well written that we made copies to include in the customer handouts and media kits. Needless to say, I was most impressed.

I would definitely recommend Rob Reed and his " THE RAT PACK" band; in fact, we are currently trying to think up another excuse for an event just so we can have them back.

Reaches People with his Music and Personality

Rob Reed is very professional, enthusiastic and a high-energy performer with an excellent voice. He has an intense presence that one actually feels. Besides, hearing his great performance, he also provides mood music when the room requires it. If the clientele wants Rock & Roll he is the player. He gives them Blues or swings the room with energy. Rob also plays enjoyable dinner sets.

He is an entertainer who reaches people with his music and personality.

Rob is one of our favourite entertainers and we look forward to his return.

Canadian Cancer Society - Thanks

I would like to thank you for all your time and effort. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. The fact that the charity event cleared over $5,000 is clearly indicative of your organising skills. I know I speak for all those who will benefit from the research programs and on-going services of the society. Cancer knows no friend, and every contribution is one step closer " To Making Cancer History".

His music is appealing, popular and encompasses many age groups.

I can't remember how long it's been since Rob Reed first played his piano in my restaurant but I think perhaps it is 15 years. He has entertained my customers time and time again since then. His music is appealing, popular and encompasses many age groups. A versatile fellow, and a showman, he garners good rapport with the audience early and keeps them asking for more. Requests are always accommodated. He aims to please and everyone usually is. Especially management because the customers come back for more.

Extremely Versatile!

Rob has entertained here many times. He's always welcome to come back! In my opinion, he's extremely versatile. Rob is not just an excellent piano player and singer; he's also a very nice person.

The CASABLANCA is a very tough gig as it has many facets. I can only have the best entertainers - He's one of them. It's not easy to become a regular player here; he is a favourite.

His repertoire seems to be endless. He's got a lot of energy, the right feeling for the room and the professionalism to do an excellent job. Therefore I would say he is the right player for any kind of venue. He knows what he's doing at any time of the night. He adapts to the mood in the room as well as being able to change the mood of the audience to the better. He knows when he has to be entertaining and when it's better to be in the background. We are looking forward to having him back again in the future.

Rob Provides Great Variety

Rob Reed has performed for our guests on two occasions and we have been very pleased with our customer's reception of him and Rob's entertaining. Rob provides great variety in his selections and can read the audience very well.

I wish we could have him play for us on a more regular schedule.

You’re the best, Rob!

Even while you were in the hospital, you made our event great. Let me explain to your web site visitors.

I hired Rob and his band to perform for a convention of over 400 people. The morning of the event I received a call that he was in the hospital for emergency surgery, but he was sending a replacement to take his place. I had no worries, knowing if Rob recommended someone they would be fantastic. And he was! The place was rockin’. Had I hired another band, I’m not so sure that a replacement (of such high quality) could have been arranged in such short notice.

I’ve hired Rob for other events and highly recommend him.

Could not have been better!

I haven't had a chance to write until now but Greg and I just wanted to thank you for helping make our wedding a success. You and the band did a great job with the music. Our guests had a great time and so did we.

If ever the opportunity comes up, we'll pass your name along. Hopefully we'll see you sometime when we're dining at the restaurant.
