March 10, 2026The Perfect Addition to our VIP Event
This year Herrera Studio celebrated its 5th Anniversary amongst our closest VIPs. We wanted an upscale and warm atmosphere, and it was amazing to have Ig’s referral. He was truly World Class and made the event feel that much more elevated. Really loved working with him as a musician as a person! Highly recommend him for your gatherings.

February 3, 2026Amazing Artist
Ignatius Hines delivered astonishing saxophone musicality at my husband’s birthday celebration.
From his initial communication exchanges through the day-of delivery, he was professional, kind and on point! He merely asked what era of music we desired and took all other aspects of providing the entertainment for the event off my plate. Thank you Ignatius!
He is a remarkable artist who expertly gauged the audience and matched the atmosphere. His musical delivery (on at least three different instruments) was flawless!
I highly recommend Ignatius Hines if you are seeking a professional saxophonist for your coming event.

Professional, warm, and genuinely engaging. He added real class to the evening without ever making it about himself. Exactly what you want at a family holiday party.

October 26, 2025Wedding cocktail hour performance
We hired Ignatius Hines to play saxophone for our wedding cocktail hour, and he was absolutely amazing! He drove all the way from Atlanta to Birmingham and arrived early to set up outside on the porch. When a monsoon-level rain hit during the ceremony and his equipment got wet, he handled everything with such professionalism and flexibility. Once things dried off, he set up indoors and played beautifully — even staying past his scheduled time to make sure our guests could still enjoy the music. His performance and sound quality were top notch. Highly recommend Ignatius for any special event! Thank you Mr.Hines!!

Rachel, I sincerely appreciate you seeing my struggle! That weather came in quickly and violently! No matter what, you paid me for a service and I had to work it out! I am so glad you were pleased with my entertainment!

First thing, he arrived over an hour early to set up. I requested Prince and that’s what I received. My guest loved it! They were singing along. Will be using him again. Highly Recommended!
