WOW. Tyler Varnell is a superstar! I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest approached us during the wedding to tell us how incredible Tyler was. He is engaging, fun, talented and knows how to get the party started and keep it going. His song book covers all genres, and he played a variety of music that appealed to all guests, regardless of age (my girlfriends went INSANE when he played "Mr. Brightside" -- he can do it all!). If you are looking for entertainment to truly "wow" your guests, hire Tyler. You won't be disappointed!!

Best Decision of My Wedding (Other than my wife!)

Tyler is the best in the business. The GOAT. A Renaissance Man. An absolute legend. Stop your search as you have found your guy.

From a music perspective he is incredibly talented. His sax game is electric, piano on point and Dj/Emcee perfect. Our dance floor was rocking all night. Did I mention how epic the surprise sax appearances are?!

As a person, he is so calming, kind and thoughtful. Weddings are stressful enough and the entire process with Tyler was seamless and fun. He's knowledgeable and really tries to tailor each experience to the couple. My wife and I have not stopped receiving compliments about how amazing Tyler was.

Tyler was the best decision we made (other than marrying each other). Can't wait to have him party with us at another life event in the future!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ! We had the most incredible time at our wedding, and Tyler played a huge part in making it such a memorable night! Tyler created the exact vibe we wanted and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. His music selection was spot on, catering to all our guests' tastes. What made it even more special was when Tyler displayed his incredible saxophone skills! His live sax added a fun and unforgettable touch to the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special day.

TYLER IS THE BEST SAXOPHONIST/DJ/ MUSICIAN EVERRR. Tyler was a HIT at our wedding! We had guests that fell in love with him! I highly recommend Tyler for your next event!

Life of the Party!!! We can’t say enough about how incredible Tyler is — truly a one-in-a-million person and professional. From the very beginning, he brought unmatched energy, kindness, excitement, and professionalism all balanced with so much patience and genuine care. He embraced all of our crazy ideas and endless questions, helping us work through every logistical detail to make the night uniquely us. The music, the flow, the vibe — everything was perfect thanks to Tyler's expertise. He knew exactly how to read the room and keep the energy high while making every moment feel personal and effortless. Our guests are still talking about him weeks later. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to work with him, don’t hesitate — he’ll make your wedding unforgettable.

Tyler is worth every single dollar and more! If you truly want your wedding to be a party with nonstop dancing you need him by your side. He will make sure everyone has the best night of their lives. He truly is a multi talented performer. He will invest so much time into creating the perfect vibe you are looking for and hone in on your music taste to become you as a couple. It was truly the best night of our lives and Tyler was a big part of it.

Tyler was the perfect addition to our wedding day and entire planning experience. From our first ever meeting to the day of the wedding, Tyler planned and executed the most ideal entertainment plan for our big day. Not only is he incredibly talented, he also leads with kindness, compassion, and a true desire to make his clients happy. He took every one of our suggestions or requests and curated the perfect day. He truly turned our vision into reality. The dance floor was packed all night long cause Tyler knows exactly how to start and keep the party going! We are still getting endless compliments about the live grand piano and live sax - a true showstopper! Tyler made our wedding so special and memorable. His professionalism, passion, and poise will forever be appreciated. We are so grateful for Tyler Varnell!

WORTH EVERY PENNY - Trust me! BEST EVER!
When I started planning my 40th birthday party, I couldn't decide between a band or a DJ. Each one I was looking at was just not the vibe and I was starting to get discouraged. Then, a friend of mine posted a story at a party where Tyler was DJing/playing the sax, and right away I knew he was the missing piece. I've attended parties with a sax player before, but NEVER like this and never one who does BOTH the DJing AND the sax! From the moment I reached out, Tyler was incredible. He followed up quickly and was great with all communications - we hopped on a call and to go over my theme and ideas, and he was so receptive and amazing with adding in things to help take my existing ideas to the next level. He even helped with the floor plan suggestions to help ensure my goal of "everyone being on the dance floor with me all night" would be more achievable - and omg am I glad I listened. Additionally, he suggested extending the party 1 hour, and thankfully we did because my initial timing guess was way off. Bottom line - trust him, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. At the same time, he was never pushy and I never felt like I HAD to go with his ideas, but again, so glad I did. On the night of the party, from start to finish Tyler and his team were flawless. He made sure to play all of my "must play" songs, and read the vibes of the room perfectly - I've truly never seen some of my guests dance this much EVER. The amount of people who came up to me that night and have texted and called me since to tell me how epic Tyler and his team were is not surprising in the least. Multiple guests described it as the "best party they've ever been to" and said they "haven't danced that much since college" (and let's just say, it's been at least 15-20 years since then for all of us). One of my friends even booked him on the spot for her upcoming birthday! I could truly go on and on, but I will just end with this - DON'T THINK TWICE, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING ELSEWHERE, BOOK TYLER. You will NOT regret it! Thanks Tyler and team for the most epic night of my life!!! (also, I wish I could upload videos here because photos don't do any justice!!!)
