September 14, 2026A fantastic saxophone player
I hired Raphael for my daughter’s wedding cocktail hour. He moved around which all the guests were able to enjoy more. One guest said it was so perfect that one would think it’s a recording if you didn’t see him playing live. I would hire him again and again! The event place even asked for hod number. He was very easy to work with- asked us what kind of songs we wanted etc. I’m super happy I chose him.
Thanks Raphael! ❤️

December 15, 2025Outstanding & Professional!
Rafael, the saxophone player that I hired for my event was outstanding. In our initial conversations, he was very responsive and answered all of my questions. He followed up with me a week before the event to confirm all the details and on the event day, he was early and punctual, brought all of the equipment. He needed for himself and delivered an outstanding performance. My guests all raved about his performance and he met and exceeded every expectation I had. I highly recommend Rafael the live saxophone player for your next event.

Got the pleasure to work with Raphael for my wedding. He was always prompt, on time, professional but most importantly patient. The requests my husband and I had were fulfilled and his skills at playing saxophone were beyond great and impressive. I had invited my peers to my wedding, and he was all they could talk about ! That’s how good he is.
Raphael is definitely worth working with!
13/10 recommend.
