Amazing! Must book!!

I booked Ricky to play a surprise 4 song saxophone set during my wedding reception and it was hands down THE BEST decision I made throughout the entire wedding planning process. I found Ricky through Instagram and he exceeded all of my expectations from the moment I reached out. Not only is Ricky amazingly talented, but he is also professional, responsive, reliable, and FUN. He 100% brought the vibes and our guests are still raving about his performance. I could go on and on. If you are looking to incorporate a saxophonist into your wedding day or special event, look no further. Ricky is your guy. 10/10 recommend

Ricky is just all the way amazing!

We were looking for a Sax player that could play for a few hours during the reception and ceremony of our wedding, and could’ve not been happier to have found Ricky. Since we reached out to him through his site, communication was just super simple, he had the best attitude and was very clear with everything, provided helpful solutions for us to have the best setup and use of his time and helped us choose the songs for our ceremony. Our guests loved having him there and really enjoyed the music. Don’t have anything but good comments for him!

Incredible Saxophonist Who Made the Night Unforgettable

Ricky Lipinski is truly phenomenal. His talent, professionalism, and energy elevated our event in a way we didn’t even know was possible. He arrived early, completed a thorough sound check, and made sure everything was perfect before guests even arrived, which gave us such peace of mind. From the moment he began playing, the entire atmosphere shifted. Guests were captivated, dancing, smiling, and constantly asking, “Who is this incredible saxophonist?”

Ricky has a rare ability to read the room perfectly and create exactly the vibe you want, whether elegant and romantic or high-energy and fun. Beyond his incredible musical skill, he is also such a kind, warm, and genuine person, making him an absolute joy to work with from start to finish.

If you are considering live music for your event, do yourself a favor and book Ricky, he will be one of the best decisions you make. We cannot recommend him highly enough!
