Photo of Midnight Shakers Midnight Shakers "We enjoyed every set we could be a part of! Loved the music selection and your interaction with your audiences! The best music / sound, we went out of our way to catch their sets each night!!!" Based in Barrie, Ontario 3rd October 2026 Lori Mathieu Photo of SaxoDance SaxoDance "SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)" Based in Gatineau, Quebec 25th September 2026 Larissa C. - Wedding Photo of MG Entertainment, Inc. MG Entertainment, Inc.

Our crowd was enjoying dancing and singing along to all the songs through the night and gave great reviews. We are booking them again for our event this year!"
