February 21, 2026The highlight of our entire party
I cannot recommend DJ Alex Sax enough. From our first call two months before my 50th birthday party, he was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely invested in understanding my vision and the vibe I wanted for each part of the evening. Our planning conversations were easy and collaborative, and he asked great questions I hadn’t thought of that ended up making a big difference.
Communicating my vision felt effortless. I shared a playlist to give him a sense of my taste, and he executed it with precision while also reading the room and adapting in real time. From the moment guests arrived, the energy was elevated. The music set the tone perfectly and kept building throughout the night in a way that felt natural and fun.
What stood out most was how well he read the crowd. I had guests ranging in age from 12 to 88, and every single person had a blast. People were dancing, smiling, and engaged the entire evening. One of my favorite moments was his idea to play saxophone during “Happy Birthday,” and helping me pick the perfect song to follow it. That moment landed perfectly and became a highlight of the night.
DJ Alex Sax didn’t just provide music, he helped create the entire atmosphere of the event. I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation.

February 3, 2026Amazing!!
Working with Alex was wonderful from start to finish. Communication was easy, and I felt completely comfortable sharing our vision for the day. His saxophone playing was beautiful and set the perfect tone as guests arrived and later during lunch. A special highlight was him playing a few Hawaiian songs my aunt would have loved—it meant so much to our family. Alex created a warm, comforting atmosphere, and I would absolutely recommend him to friends, family, or colleagues.

November 10, 2025Top performance!
We recently hired Alex for our corporate event and he absolutely exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, Alex was professional, friendly and incredibly talented. His live sax performance added a unique and energetic vibe to the evening, seamlessly blending with his DJ sets to keep everyone entertained. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the music and atmosphere he created. If you’re looking for someone who can bring both sophistication and fun to your event, I highly recommend Alex. He’s not just a DJ or a musician, he’s a true performer who knows how to make an event memorable! Thank you Alex 😊

October 23, 2025An Absolute Must-Hire!
Choosing Alex as our wedding DJ was an important decision as he was going to set the tone for our wedding reception. He achieved this by asking great questions and consulting with us beforehand for our input. From the very first consultation to the final song at the reception, his professionalism, expertise, and incredible taste in music made made our wedding reception a night to remember. Alex also handles himself with confidence while making the various MC announcements and used his technical skills to blend the music genres seamlessly. If you're looking for a DJ who genuinely cares about creating the perfect atmosphere for your wedding, hire Alex.

I got the chance to work with Alex at a recent wedding. I was completely surprised with how everyone received the melodic sounds of an instrument coming from somewhere. As the ceremony came together even I was surprised to see a Sax player performing live music as the guests were being seated. I have photographed weddings all over the state and it was very refreshing to see a musician at wedding. Alex knew how to mix the mood with his music and hit all the right notes for the guests as well as the bride and groom. During dancing and reception he played his sax on the dancefloor and everyone was hype. It made my job so much easier. I would absolutely recommend him to any couple getting married or even a date night in the city. I would be happy to see Alex at a wedding, I know the dancefloor will be packed.

🎷 Make Your Event Unforgettable with a One-of-a-Kind DJ & Sax Experience!
Tired of the same old event formula? You know the drill—familiar playlist, background music, and maybe a couple of group dances to get the crowd going. It works… but what if you’re aiming for more? Something that grabs your guests’ attention from the moment they walk in and keeps them talking long after the night ends?
Picture this: You enter a party and instead of the usual setup, you're met with the rich, expressive sound of a live saxophone—playing along to your favorite songs in real time. From smooth jazz and soulful ballads to funk, pop, house, EDM, classic rock, old-school Motown, and everything in between. All expertly blended with a high-energy DJ set that brings the room to life. And yes—Alex might even join the dance floor, sax in hand, adding that wow-factor you didn’t know your event needed.
