Richards Entertainment | Interactive Saxophonist was a fantastic addition to our wedding day. From the beginning, they were really efficient, easy to work with, and inviting and friendly. Matthew, the saxophonist, brought great energy to the dance floor and had everyone up and moving. We were surprised to see how packed the dance floor was of all ages. everyone was really enjoying themselves! Matthew can jam to any kind of music (classics, Bollywood, dancehall, modern hits) and is an amazingly talented musician. It was so much fun to have him at our event, and we're so grateful for to him!

June 10, 2023Richards Entertainment is a MUST for any event!
We hired Matthew to play at our wedding, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park!! We also hired a DJ, who Matthew had never met, and he seamlessly collaborated, elevating the music and mood for the entire night! Matthew played at our cocktail hour and reception, his talents are out of this world. He is incredibly engaging, got the party started and kept it going! Matthew is truly a star, and all anyone could talk about the next day and the following week! I am still blown away by his musical talent, and love that Matthew engages and dances with the party!

From the moment we first connected with Matt, we knew he was someone special! During our first zoom call, we could feel his vibrant energy, his positivity, and genuine excitement and happiness. Matt’s communication throughout the planning process was top tier, with quick and clear responses. Matt took the time to ask questions about us personally, and it made us feel that he truly wanted to get to know us so he could help deliver what we were visualizing and hoping for on our special day. Matt lead us into our reception, and his presence was so comforting, fun, exciting, lively, I could go on and on! We had already known that he was going to make our night one to remember, but he truly exceeded all of our expectations. He brought an energy to our dinner portion that I have never witnessed before at a wedding. It was absolutely incredible. Watching our guests dancing through dinner and being able to interact with Matt and enjoy his talent was so special. It was hard to imagine the night getting better… and then it did! Our dance floor was full, and Matt kept everyone included and hyped up. Our guests expressed their admiration to us all night long, with many of them wanting to book Matt for their own events! Our wedding was now 5 weeks ago, and our friends and family are STILL talking about him. And so are we! We feel so incredible lucky to have gotten to experience Matt’s talents and energy, but we feel even luckier to have been able to meet him and have us present during our wedding. He is a special, one of a kind human, and we feel so grateful and appreciative of him and his time. If we could give him more than a 5 star rating we would! If you’re looking into working with Matt, do not hesitate. Book him and get ready for an amazing experience! THANK YOU MATT!!!!

July 7, 2026The Best!
We first found Matthew at a friend’s wedding in New Jersey over two years ago, and from that day on we knew we wanted him at our wedding. Even though we’ve seen so many other wedding saxophone players since then, no one ever compared. When it came time to plan our own wedding, booking Matthew was one of the easiest decisions we made.
From the start, Matthew was one of the kindest vendors we worked with. He was so easygoing, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. He played as guests entered the reception room, seamlessly transitioned into cocktail and dinner vibes, then completely transformed the dance floor after dinner and kept the energy going through the after-party. His talent is incredible and he can play to anything and everything. From songs my parents loved, to our favorites, to Drake, Olivia Dean, country, ABBA, and everything in between. Our guests loved him too. We had so many people coming up to us throughout the night and afterward asking who he was and telling us how amazing he was. He was one of the biggest hits of our wedding and we’re so grateful.
