June 18, 2024The addition of The Sax Guy changed our nice event into something magnificent. He had excellent communication, timeliness, and professionalism but most importantly he was incredibly talented. I can’t wait to plan another event so that I can book him again!

December 9, 2022We had Mark "The Sax Guy" play at our daughters wedding for the cocktail hour. It was absolutely wonderful. It added that perfect elegance that you want for a special event. Our guest really enjoyed the music and are still talking about how good he was.

July 4, 2022We hired Mark (the Sax Guy) for a reenactment of our first date one year ago. We included family for a pool side Independence Day celebration and it was absolutely perfect.
Mark is prompt and professional, played exactly what we asked, and of course his sound is phenomenal. We absolutely love “The Sax Guy!” The whole family agreed to make this a tradition.
Highly recommend for a personal touch to your special events.

March 24, 2022I am president of a school Foundation and we used the Sax Guy for our biggest fundraiser of the year, a Monte Carlo Night. Mark arrived on time, was flexible and very pleasant to work with. More importantly though, his music was amazing! This was the first year in seven years we went a different direction with our entertainment, and he was a hit! Our entire board had multiple people comment how much they loved the music. "I loved the vibe this year" was the quote of the night. A little rat pack for our Vegas night mixed in with classics everyone enjoyed, The Sax Guy was just what our event needed to make it even better and we've already rebooked him for next year! Give his a try; you will not be disappointed.
