October 10, 2025Dawson was amazing to work with! He worked flawlessly with our DJ, and brought impeccable vibes to our cocktail hour and dinner. He played whatever we wanted him to and was a true professional. We can't thank him enough and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great he was and what a special element he added to our day!

July 7, 2025Dawson was super easy to book and to work with. I hired him for the cocktail hour for my wedding! To my knowledge, he was easy to set up and showed up on time with no hiccups. Due to the weather, we had to change location and move inside to a foyer for the cocktail hour, and Dawson killed it! I received many compliments, and people loved having the live music!

January 1, 2025Dawson was incredible to work with and worth every penny. He made our day so special and all of our guests could not have been more impressed. Dawson was not just one of our vendors but truly the life of the party. If you are even slightly considering it this is your sign it’s worth it!

Dawson Bertrand is a professional saxophonist and live music entertainer based between Nantucket, Massachusetts and Palm Beach, Florida — two of the most discerning and vibrant event markets in the country. With a performance style that blends soulful artistry with crowd-reading instinct, Dawson has become a go-to choice for couples, event planners, and corporations looking to elevate their events with truly memorable live music.
