Marty Robson, proud President of V.E.E has two crippling addictions in his life.
Family and Entertainment - in that order!

Marty is first and foremost a dedicated family man. He has two gorgeous children, Liam and Kaija - the apples of his eye!

Originating from Durham, England, he came to Canada in 2003 and since that time has become deeply connected with Vancouver, BC, the lifestyle, the people and the culture, calling it "home from home - but better!"

He has a wealth of experience in booking entertainment of the highest level both in the UK and Canada, for a huge diversity of events from smaller private functions to high profile Conference Galas.

Marty has an innate understanding of the art of effective man management, team building and the benefits of positive reinforcement. Consequently, his colleagues and artists are motivated to give of their very best at all times.

Furthermore, he is unequivocally committed to the needs, wishes and stipulations of his clients, and is whole heartedly dedicated to producing and directing the most amazing event humanly possible.

Reuben Avery

(Live Entertainment Event Consultant)
From his days as a toddler playing his family's upright piano in his high chair, Reuben has come a long way musically. He graduated with distinction from Capilano University where he earned a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies degree and has been working as a trumpet player, pianist, vocalist, songwriter and bandleader ever since. He began leading bands back in 2002 and since 2009, has been performing with and leading one of Vancouver's finest dance bands, The Phonix.

Reuben's unique history of blending administrative roles with formal music study and extensive performance experience make him a valuable asset to any event. He is very easy to work with thanks to his systematic approach to getting things done and his personable, soft-spoken demeanour.

When he's not busy with events and music projects, Reuben enjoys growing vegetables, making great meals for friends and dreaming up creative ways to make the world a more efficient and caring place.
