Thank you Mildred! The party was phenomenal! Thank you for making me a part of your special day!
Charlie is an amazing performer. We enjoyed the saxophone during dinner. Really gave my wedding a romantic touch. Many people enjoyed his music (even my babies were on the dance floor). As well, other vendors complimented on his music. Really great vibes. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Charlie!

We hired Charlie to come play some Kenny G hits for my daughters 1st birthday because she loves Kenny G. Charlie exceeded our expectations! He also played some other special requests. He was wonderful to work with and added so much to the ambiance of the day! We were thrilled with this decision!

Thanks Mark! Your a fantastic producer!
Charlie is not only an amazing player but a fantastic guy. He worked closely with me to nail down exactly the right vibe for the performance then lit up like a rocket and totally smoked the sax track. We constantly work with soloists. We've seen good and bad, and we are completely blown away by how awesome he plays and how easy his is to work with.
Thanks man!!!
