Hi Claire,
Thanks for your reply.
I was reluctant to give feedback because Rory was obviously a nice chap, and as I said I probably wasn't the best person to ask as I was so busy. I just didn't hear any of the music from the original list I'd been supplied with, or gutsy music which I also asked for. I didn't hear anyone complain. When people went outside for photos it would have been nice if Rory had followed a little way rather than staying inside playing to himself.
Anyhow, I didn't complain or feel hard done by. I was originally being supplied with another saxophonist (who then got a gig on a cruise ship), so maybe the list was his, not Rory's , if so I wasn't informed of this.
Please don't make Rory feel bad.
Thanks MP

Hi Claire,
To be fair I was busy on that day sorting out the flowers and decorations.
However I was not impressed, the music played was not what I'd been expecting, I also felt Rory could have used a bit more initiative with regards making sure people could hear him, he seemed to be playing to himself a lot of the time, so I was disappointed.
Having said all that, guests that did hear him seemed to enjoy it.
HE was well presented, on time and very pleasant.
Yours MP.

Hello MP,
My name is Claire Maillot.
Thank you for inviting Rory to perform at your son’s wedding on 15/05/2015.
I hope you enjoyed the performance, and that all on-the-day arrangements went smoothly and satisfied your requirements.
I would like to ask whether you could write a short testimonial for Rory, based on your experience of working with us.
We are not looking for anything too substantial; just a couple of lines commenting on the energy, style, performance and professionalism, and how you felt the set made an impact on your son’s wedding  This feedback would be very much appreciated. Please let me know if you prefer me not use your full name for privacy purposes.
Meanwhile, and on behalf of Rory, I would like to thank you for the opportunity, and I send you our best wishes.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Best Regards,
Claire Maillot
