Wow wow wow wow wow!!! Jonathannnn out did himself and never will I ever call upon another Sax player because Jonathan is “ All you need to get by” My family knew from the beginning after watching Jonathan’s videos he would perform.Jonathan delivered an outright concert ;he engaged with our guest danced and serenaded them in every note. My grandparents the guest of honor have received tremendous calls raving and requesting his information. We thank you again for your talented gift that must continue to be shared with the world. The Jonathan experience will be one to remember.

May 10, 2019Best Decision Made!
I hope after reading this review you won’t hesitate to book with Jonathan!
This was one of the best decisions I made in planning my event. I was very leery about hiring help from this website because it was my first time and didn’t know what to expect. I read through all the reviews and profiles but still was not certain this would be something I wanted to do. I can not express enough how happy I am with hiring Jonathan.
From the time I sent the request, Jonathan was quick to respond. He answered Every question I had. He was patient, communicative, and versatile in his musical catalog.
Upon arrival to my event, his time management was phenomenal. He came right in, assessed the area for him to set up and began his set list. He engaged my guests beautifully. He has class, humility, and charm. All things to love as you listen to his performance. A complete surprise to the afternoon. He is Amazing! I hired him as help but he left as family. I will book him for any event I have. Thank you, Jonathan!!!

July 22, 2018The baddest in the land.
Words can’t express how pleasantly surprised I was. Jonathan did more than I asked. He was on time an his talent will leave you speechless and wanting more. Everyone asked for his number after My event. He vibed so well with a band I hired. The band and johnathan didn’t know one another but you would have thought they did. The best money you can spend for what you get. I would hire him again in a heart beat.

October 23, 2025Lets do it again Jonathan!!
We loved working with Jonathan! I saw him at my friend’s wedding and had to hire him for my own. I actually reached out to him probably before hiring the DJ! Jonathan is talented and so fun. He brought the soul, funk, fun vibes, and fire to the dance floor. He was so approachable, reasonable, polite and friendly, funny, professional and everything in between. He LOVES what he does. I could hear and feel the excitement in his voice while we were planning the night and the music! I wish we had another event to hire him for! Welp we don’t but if you’re reading this then you do so what are you waiting for? Get in touch with him!

July 28, 2025Jonathan was an amazing saxophone player.
If you need a saxophonist who is highly skilled, professional, well prepared but flexible enough to read the room and provide your special event with the music and ambiance it needs then Jonathan McCreary is the musician for you. All my guests was thoroughly impressed with his performances and personality that fit in so well with our event. Definitely look forward to working with Jonathan for any other special future events.
