Overview
Specializing in Pop, R & B, and Rock music from the 70's, 80's, 90's, 21st century, and current hits, my goal is to create the perfect ambience for your event! I also work with a DJ (ADJ Mando) if you are looking for that DJ/live sax vibe. I have over 30 years of experience performing in South Florida and play a wide variety of songs tailored to your musical needs and preferences. I perform for weddings, parties, cocktail hour, bar mitzvahs, and corporate events. Available as a solo act or duo (with DJ), or trio (any combination of saxophone, violin, and DJ).

Thank you, Leon for hiring me for your event! I had a blast playing for the party. Nice meeting you and Kristina.
Mike played during cocktail hour at my wedding. He was truly AMAZING! One of the best decisions of my big day was to have Mike play the saxophone during cocktail hour! He was everything I imagined during that time. I had a 300 person wedding and sooo many friends and family I talked to said that was one of the best parts of the day! Mike will not disappoint. He has such a great personality, he's friendly, very welcoming, and overall very easy to work with! HIRE MIKE!!

Thank you, Abbey for that awesome review! I had a blast playing at cocktail hour. And what a beautiful wedding! It was the perfect day and I was honored to be a part of it!
I hired Mike to perform for my entertainment company for a Bar Mitzvah Cocktail Hour and he killed it! He sounded amazing and the guests loved it and had an amazing time and even extended his services into overtime because they loved it so much! I am a musician myself and an event professional and I subcontract Mike's Saxytime with Mike D. services on a regular basis for my events! You will love his show! He is worth every penny!
