"The wedding of mr and mrs Donnelly. June 2024. First dance: God only knows by Simon and Garfuncle Catherine wrote: Thanks so much for the amazing music at my wedding on Saturday. It was such an epic day and when you played the first dance i was nearly in tears. We really didnt know what to expect when we asked you to play it but you absolutely nailed it, so so beautiful, thank you!"

"Andre was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment he began playing, his music didn’t just set the tone - it transformed the entire evening into something truly extraordinary. He brought such warmth and kindness, and his talent created a magical atmosphere that elevated the first night dinner at the villa beyond anything we could have imagined. He was also a true professional - so easy to work with, incredibly prompt in his replies (especially impressive given the time difference), and very accommodating to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our time in Tuscany!"

"Over the top entertainment was provided by Mr. Murphy, aka Billy Gumbo. He started with traditional Oktoberfest music, mixed in Cajun songs, some Tex Mex and even some Rocktoberfest music! He is very personable and entertaining, getting the crowd involved and even winding them up into a screaming frenzy! He met the odd requests of Italian songs and Irish punk polkas. It was a 4 hour event and he squeezed every ounce he had into the show. Highly recommend. "

"On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Jeff for our 35th anniversary party. He did a great job, provided an impressive variety of music (played many of our favorites from the 70s, 80s and 90s), got us singing and dancing, and helped our family and friends have a very enjoyable evening. Jim and I would highly recommend. "

"I was lucky enough to connect with Will around Memorial Day and we begin practicing early on in June. I hadn’t played my tenor sax in exactly 15 years but wanted to surprise my now Wife with a little performance at our wedding on November 3rd. I told Will exactly what I had in mind for the wedding and told him how long it had been since I played and Will was 100% on board. We primarily did lessons once per week at his apartment and he was even nice enough to hold my instrument in his apartment to assist with the surprise. He helped me get back in the swing of things with scales and things like that in the beginning and then we began practicing the music I wanted to play at my wedding. Will was incredible and very supportive every step of the way. He ended up playing his baritone sax so that I would stand out more on my tenor. He got us our backing tracks and even did our last lesson with me at my venue the day before the event. We primarily did Thursday lessons at the same time but he was always flexible on a day/time when things came up. His communication was amazing. When it came time for the big day and the surprise to come to fruition, it couldn’t have gone any better. We did our set right after the completion of dinner and My wife, my family and friends were stunned beyond belief and loved every second of the performance. The energy in the room was amazing. A perfectly executed surprise all thanks to Will. Our hard work really paid off. Nobody will ever forget my wedding and Will was finally able to meet my Wife and some others after our set. Everybody loved him as much as I have since Memorial Day. I plan on staying in touch with him indefinitely despite my wedding performance being done with now. Will is an expert on the saxophone and other instruments as well. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Nobody better out there for whatever you may need. A+. Thanks so much Will!"

"Richard was a dream to work with! His communication was fantastic, and he went above and beyond by jumping on a video call to to get to know us and our vision. He even learned a couple of new songs just for our us. Plus, he showed up looking sharp and perfectly suited for the occasion. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
