First of all I would like to Thank Mr Mendez for being prompt and professional. He did an OUTSTANDING Job on playing the saxophone to the songs used for the wedding ceremony and also for the cocktail hour!!!
Mr Mendez was prompt and dressed for the occasion. It was a very easy process in coordinating the music withhim as well. The guests were impressed and were singing along while he played. I would DEFINITELY recommend this artist, and I would use him again for future events.

Donny made my Daughter’s Bridal Shower with great background music.
It was a mixed crowd of young and elder. He played right volume. I got a lot of compliments from my guests. I would consider hiring him again.
