Tyler Varnell | Saxophone-DJ "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!!" Based in Newport Beach, California 20th March 2026 Casey & Tyler - Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach - Wedding

Tim Oates - Frank Sinatra Tribute Show! "Five stars! Professional, knowledgeable and a gifted vocalist! Tim went over and above for our event and was the perfect showman ‐ warm vocals, funny and engaging. Tim has a heart of gold and communicated well throughout the planning process. I'm also grateful for the extra time he gave to find the perfect repertoire for our Italian theme. Tim Oates was an absolute pleasure and I highly recommend him for your next event!" Based in Irvine, California (7 miles from Newport Beach) 3rd November 2026 Renee B. - Donor Appreciation Dinner

Seps' Saxophone Experience "Seps is the best!!! My husband and I got married last week at Falkner Winery in Temecula and Seps was the absolute star of the show! All of my guests have been raving about how good he was and made the night so unique and unforgettable. He was incredibly easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process, and I did not personally have to handle any of the coordination or communication with our venues DJ. Seps and him met multiple times prior to the big day to make sure the grand entrance, dinner, and reception were seamless. My husband and I are big DJ people, but we knew that having a live instrument to pair with the music would make the experience more interactive and fun. Seps absolutely brought that and everyone was on their feet the entire night thanks to him! He’s incredibly professional, easy to communicate with, and friendly with other wedding guests. Do yourself a favor, and book with Seps! The price for the value he adds is an incredible deal and you won’t regret working with him. He will elevate your event and be the highlight of the night!" Based in Laguna Beach, California (10 miles from Newport Beach) Renee D. - Wedding Reception
