What people say Help

  • We LOVED Rich!! He was SO easy to work with, very professional and organized, and made us feel very comfortable that he could handle anything that might come up. He played sax during our cocktail hour before we arrived at the reception and then played a wonderful mix of music from his laptop/ipod the rest of the time....it was perfect! He is a lot of fun and really supplied the "WOW factor" to our wedding. We highly recommend him!

  • Rich did a Fantastic job for our daughter's wedding. He even met with us prior to the wedding and went out to the site to meet with the band etc to make sure everything went smoothly. He played love songs on his Sax during the cocktail time while pictures were being done. He is very talented and did a great job. I would recommend him to anyone, He was much better than your average plain DJ Also a very nice guy!!!

    John and Tracy, Wedding, Birmingham, September 2011

  • I wish there was a 6th star as a choice for "Value for Cost"! This guy was everything we had hoped for and more. His charisma just lit up the reception and his choices of music (when he wasn't filled with request) fit the mood perfectly at all times. I had several friends come up and ask for his name and contact info, so they were clearly impressed as well! Wholeheartedly recommended.

  • Rich was our saxophonist of choice for our wedding reception. He played during our sit down dinner and was and played a beautiful mix of music from his laptop for the rest of the evening. Not only was his music wonderful but our guests loved it! He added just the right touch of fun and elegance to the dinner that we were looking for to get our guests in the mood for a fun evening. He was great - very responsive to our requests, well spoken for all announcements and introductions and intent on making sure we had exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Saxophonist and a little live entertainment for their cocktail hour or dinner. Thanks Rich!
