Music for the heart and soul.

There's nothing more magical than live music. For my husband's birthday I surprised him with a live performance by this talented musician, Ruben Cantu, who plays everything from Rhianna, Luis miguel, Celia Cuz, to Frank Sinatra. He kept my guests entertained throughout the evening. He showed up on time and even stayed later than required. I will be hiring for events in the future.

Amazing experience, Highly recommend!

SaxMajor was highly professional, very friendly and extremely talented. My guests were so impressed with his ability and he created such a fun environment. His song selection was perfect and he continued to work his set without taking a break. I can't recommend him enough and was very glad we went with him. Don't hesitate, if he's available.. snatch him up!

Wonderful Performer with a Vast Song List

Working with Ruben was an absolute pleasure! We needed a last minute saxophonist, and he was able to be in touch with me within an hour and perform at our event the very same evening. His song list is extensive and pleased our young and older guests, as well as impress our Hispanic and Indian guests with some Juanes, Marc Anthony, and Bollywood songs sprinkled in between classic American and top 40 hits. Can't wait to work with him again!

Incredible addition to our wedding

Ruben was phenomenal - we hired him to accompany our DJ during our wedding reception and he was a perfect addition. He played during dinner and early dancing, and even offered to learn to riff over some Persian songs at our request.

He was incredibly easy to communicate with and truly blended right into the event so seamlessly. Thank you for everything, Ruben!

perfect birthday surprise on the beach

I was preparing a surprise for my wife's birthday and Ruben made it just magical. He arrived in advance ti make sure everything's prepared before my wife came. Since we're not a lot into classic music i asked him to play some popular songs and he played Sia, Chainsmokers and Rihanna, it was simply amazing. He also had a speaker playing the music on the background. Though we were on a beach, the sound was heard really well. I definitely recommend Ruben for outdoor performances of this type or any other types events.

Excellent Experience

Ruben was 'very punctual' and adapted to the needs of the event. In my mind, he over-delivered to my expectations. I kept getting compliments from my guests over and over. Ruben, it was fun having you. We will keep you in mind for future services.

Response from SaxMajor:

Thank you for the wonderful review.

I'm sorry I had to leave so soon, I had to drive 70 miles to the next job. I just barely made it.

Nice location for the party. My wife was asking about it for a future occasion.

No complaints.

We really enjoyed him. He's professional. He's punctual, and stayed in contact with us throughout the process. We had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner for some friends. There was 2 special songs that we wanted him to perform. One of the songs he didn't have, but he went and secured the song and learned it well for the dinner. We enjoyed his performance. He brought 3 different styles of saxophones, and he used them all. He's prices were reasonable too. I wouldn't definitely hire him again. No complaints!

Amazing!

Ruben put on a great performance during my roaring 20's theme birthday party. He's a talented saxophone player and his music put a special touch to the event. Everyone enjoyed his music very much. I would definitely recommend him.

Just what I wanted

Ruben was professional and an excellent saxophone player. He played at my wedding reception cocktail hour, and added considerably to the ambiance. He played all of my favorite songs, and was great to work with both before and at the event. I would highly recommend Ruben.

5 STARS FOR SAXMAJOR

Ruben arrived on a hot sunny California day, prepared and ready to play not one but 3 saxophones. We really enjoyed the style and flavor of the music. I had requested contemporary songs and he offered them with out question. My guests were very happy and he brought the life needed to the party. I will definitely book "SaxMajor" again and my friend said he is going to call him to play at his party too. Thanks to Ruben for making my party a success. He is the topping on the cake.

Looking forward to see him again to perform and if I need his service in the future, I will hire him with no hesitation. Nestor Pangilinan June 22, 2013 Event.

– Nestor P, Buena Park, CA

Ruben Cantu is a very pleasant and talented performer. He interacts with the crowd and gets everyone involved. Ruben preformed at a Father's day dinner that my facility hosted and many of the guest in attendance commented on how they enjoyed his music. He was instrumental in setting a successful scene for the evening, and boy did he deliver! Ruben showed up early and stayed later then he had to. I am very satisfied with him and have asked him to come back and perform again.

– Nitaya M, Riverside, CA

Ruben Cantu played at our Holiday Event on December 13th. He showed up early to set up and started performing 30 minutes before his official start time with only took a minimal break during the two hours of the event. We will definitely add him to our list of preferred performers, he was professional, accommodating, punctual and very talented. We heard nothing but great things about Mr. Cantu from all of our guests.

– Gisset R - Glendale, CA

Ruben was fantastic! He was very well prepared for the event, and played different genres at the Crowne Plaza San Jose, Client Holiday Luncheon. Many clients were asking about him, and I will definitely recommend him to other company's functions. One of the best decisions made.
