April 24, 2026Birthday Celebration
Mr. Williams was marvelous. He was prompt and professional. He provided some great tunes during my father's milestone birthday luncheon. I hired him for two hours which was great, but not enough. I asked Mr. Williams to extended his time by 30 minutes to allow the guests to dance, which was fantastic.

November 6, 20255 - Stars For Skinny
We were lucky enough to have Skinny play at our wedding, and he completely made the atmosphere. From the moment guests arrived, his music set the perfect tone — classy, energetic, and full of personality. During the ceremony, his playing added such an elegant touch.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing he was — he brought so much life and energy to the day without ever being over the top. He’s not only incredibly talented but also so easy to work with: professional, responsive, and genuinely kind.
If you’re thinking about adding live saxophone to your wedding or event, do it — and hire Skinny. It was one of the best decisions we made for our day!

October 28, 2025Wonderful wedding experience
Skinny was amazing! We hired him to play the dinner hour at our wedding and from answering my questions before booking to the day-of, the entire process was fantastic. He made the whole process so easy and our guests loved it! If you're considering it I highly recommend!
