Photo of Nathan Sax Nathan Sax "If you're thinking about booking Nathan sax do not hesitate! We had the most wonderful experience. The sound of the saxophone was stunning and completely elevated the whole vibe of the night. Beyond the immense talent, the warmth and energy brought to the performance made it truly unforgettable. Thank you for making our special occasion so memorable!" Based in Toronto, Ontario 22nd September 2026 Maria - Wedding Photo of David Sax David Sax "Absolutely incredible! He was one of the highlights of our wedding. So many guests came up to us saying how amazing he was and asking where we found him. Super talented, easy to work with, and brought such a great vibe to the night. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." Based in Moncton, New Brunswick 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Stan Komarovsky Stan Komarovsky "I hired Stan for a gig that requires a lot of fresh material. Not only did he learn it all, he followed on the fly when the client requested songs at the show. Stan was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended." Based in Toronto, Ontario 27th July 2026 Dan Kosub - Private Wedding Photo of Paul Wainwright - Sax With Trax Paul Wainwright - Sax With Trax "We had the absolute pleasure of hiring Paul Wainright for our business grand opening in Victoria, BC, and he absolutely blew everyone away! From the moment Paul started playing, it was clear we were in the presence of exceptional talent. His saxophone skills are world-class — smooth, soulful, and incredibly dynamic. Whether he was delivering silky smooth jazz standards, upbeat contemporary hits, or energetic dance numbers, Paul's playing was flawless and perfectly suited to every moment of the event. What truly sets Paul apart is his incredible vocal ability and the impressive diversity of his musical repertoire. He seamlessly transitions between genres, keeping the energy high and the crowd fully engaged throughout the entire evening. His solo performances are captivating and intimate, while his collaborative moments (when he brought in backing tracks or interacted with the guests) felt electric and professional. Paul is not only an amazingly talented musician but also a true professional - punctual, personable, and genuinely invested in making our grand opening a memorable success. He read the room perfectly and adapted his set on the fly to keep the vibe exactly where we wanted it. If you're looking for a saxophonist musician (or vocalist) in Victoria, BC who can elevate any event with top-tier musicianship, incredible range, and pure stage presence, look no further than Paul Wainright. We couldn't recommend him more highly - he was the highlight of our grand opening and helped make it an unforgettable night! Thank you, Paul!" Based in Victoria, British Columbia 30th March 2026 Derek & Julie Sanderson Photo of Gentle Piano Music Gentle Piano Music "A true professional and impressively talented! She was just a lovely addition to our formal cocktail party! A true talented professional! She played beautiful traditional Christmas music for our holiday cocktail party! She was great at communicating with us, even prior to us booking her. She wanted to know exactly what our wants and desires were, and she made sure she satisfied our wishes. A very pleasant and classy touch to our evening was had. We would highly recommend everyone to hire her to add that elegant and sophisticated touch of class to your event." Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba 5th March 2026 Charlene Ramkissoon - Cocktail Party Photo of Michael.C Michael.C "I hired Michael to play guitar at both public and private events numerous times and he’s always prepared and did a good job!"
