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." 2nd August 2026 Kevin Ansems - Wedding Photo of Julian Christopher Julian Christopher "Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event." 4th August 2026 Ruby O’brien - 60th birthday party Photo of Luxury violin events Luxury violin events "Ani was absolutely incredible. Her talent was phenomenal, and I was told by multiple people that she actually made the wedding ceremony so much more special. Beyond that, she was extremely kind, communicative, responsive, punctual, and even put together a custom song list based on the bride and groom’s preferences. If I could give 20 out of 10, I would!" 9th August 2026 Drew Jackson - Private Wedding Photo of Alex Choi Violín Alex Choi Violín "Hola Alex! Acaban de irse los últimos invitados!
