Would like to say how fantastic Mike our Sax player was at our Wedding Reception. He was a marvellous surprise and welcome for our guests as they arrived. Mike is a lovely person and a great sax player who made an extra special touch to our magical day. Would definately recommend to others, thank-you so much.

Mike played really well at our wedding. In the Lake District, the weather was like a dream with the sun shining. We got married at the gazebo by the lake and as soon as I heard Mike play the saxophone as I waited to walk down the aisle, I fell apart and began to cry. It sounded wonderful. The background music was quality and the live saxophone just sounded amazing. Mike learnt to play 3 of our song requests and his attitude was all out to provide a service. Not all musicians feel the music they play but Mike got every note and created a relaxing and romantic atmosphere. It was lovely to meet Mike who was professional and an amazing saxophone player. All our guests commented on his performance. Definately recommend!
Christianne, one very satisfied customer
I can't tell you how wonderful Mike was, stunning music, of the best quality and quantity. Mike was charming natural polite and mingled with our guests in his breathers and was just perfect. It was as if he was part of the family. Everyone commented on his presentation, sound and sheer professionalism whilst understanding us, the guests and the day. Your part as agents and the booking was perfect with no hassle. All went so smoothly and you were so prompt in making sure all was in order for the day!! In fact I spent quite a lot of time when asked by guests, where did I find that amazing musician, telling them that I found you browsing the internet!! A seriously slick outfit and would have no hesitation recommending you and using you again. Thank you for the most perfect day, it set it up perfectly and Mike was the icing on the cake. I can't tell you how perfect it was. He will be the talk of Gloucestershire for a long time.
