We hired Lock for our wedding ceremony music and cocktail hour. He was on time, played great music and he made it the perfect atmosphere. It was wonderful. Don’t think twice about hiring Lock!
Lock is simply great with his sax. His notes, music and selections were excellent and made it a delightful evening. We got lots of compliments and keep him in mind for another event.
I hired Lock and his band for my wedding at laguna beach. Everything worked out perfectly and everyone had a great time. The band is easy to communicate with, efficient and versatile. Highly recommend them!
Response from Lock Reese Jazz Saxophonist Solo - Trio:
It was a super wedding. It was our pleasure to help make this a really classy celebration!
Lock and his quartet were fabulous! They arrived on time, were totally professional and played some amazing jazz!! They were perfect for our conference!
It was a pleasure to work with Lock Reese and his group. He kept close communication and was very accommodating down to the last minute. When you are hosting an event it's nice to have someone be a leader and speak up like when silent auction times are ending and transition to dinner. It was a pleasure!
Response from Lock Reese Jazz Saxophonist Solo - Trio:
It was a pleasure to work this event with our band.
It was a highly successful and very fun event! A classy masquerade themed fundraiser/party. Kirsten did a tremendous job organizing it with her staff. It was oir pleasure to help set the mood for the event with our music.
Lock was on time, easy to communicate with and professional throughout the booking process and leading up to our event. He then arrived on time to set up equipment and played a fantastic set which the party host and guests thoroughly enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend booking Lock for your party or event.
Response from Lock Reese Jazz Saxophonist Solo - Trio:
It was a great event
Excellent host to work for.
Highly recommended.
Lock was very prompt in his communication leading up to the event, providing quick responses to email and phone calls, fully answering questions and requests. Arriving to the event, he was prompt and very friendly. He was easy to work with and showed up with everything he needed, including a stool. He played a few different instruments, and was cooperative on sound level when it got too loud. We would hire him again if we had an event in the San Diego area!
The trio performed for the students and staff of our high school for Mardi Gras. Everyone loved it! Thank you so much!
