Saxophone Simon - Party Sax - Xmas/2026
"Simon was absolutely fab! He took us through a lot of options and we went for light music during photos and with our DJ for the reception.
Having Simon play was a real highlight of the day. He was amazing and so many guests said just how fun it was. There were a few songs me and Steve really wanted - he really got what we were looking for with the music for the day.
We loved him and I don’t think it would have been quite the same without him playing and the atmosphere he naturally brought.
Great guy and a really great day"
The Party Singers
"Absolutely brilliant night at our MUNZ Mid Winter Xmas Do on the 27th July at the Loons in Lyttelton. Can't thank The Party Singers enough. I have heard nothing but great comments regarding that night. IN FACT the crowd wished you would've kept going onto the early Hours 😅 they didn't want you to leave even after your 4hrs of NON STOP entertainment!! In all honesty it was the first time in 3 years that I have seen so many up on the dance floor and the Oldies stick around and Boogie the night away. FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much we will definitely re book you again for the next one. Very very happy thanks again"
