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!).
