    A Must Have!

    We got so many compliments for Mike’s sax at our wedding everyone was saying while talking at Cocktail Hour and Dinner. Also, everyone loved it during the Ceremony. I had Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You” as our processional. It was great! We made sure to choose the most recognizable songs and it paid off! Everyone had a great time! Thank you so much, Mike!

    A Must Have

    We wanted to have a live performer that was unique and would exemplify elegance and romance and we got exactly that. We were debating between a violinist or saxophone and I am so happy we went with saxophone. I came across Mike on Wessing Wire and went on his page and YouTube and was amazed. When I emailed he responded quickly which helped us make our decision fast. He was friendly and informative and had his master list available for us. You can also provide him a list of music you want. All my guests raved about him and his music. I had him perform for processional and cocktail hour.

    We had Mike play for our cocktail hour for our September wedding, and we have to say it was one of our favorite parts of our day! Live music and saxophone specifically is really special to us so it was important to include it, and Mike delivered! Very easy to communicate with, and very friendly! He has an extensive song catalog to choose from, and even will take suggestions if it's something he's able to find sheet music for! He was even kind enough to check in a week before to let us know there was rain on the forecast (it didn't end up raining thankfully) He brought the exact vibe we were looking for! He's so talented, and so many of our guests said it was the perfect touch! We're so glad we were able to join cocktail hour and actually got to enjoy him playing! We 100/10 recommend booking with Mike!

    Mike performed at our wedding in Napa Valley a few weeks ago, and our guests absolutely loved his performance! He made our special day even more memorable by playing our favorite song. Thank you, Mike, for sharing your beautiful music with us and making our wedding even more special. Excellent performance, a wonderful repertoire, and great flexibility in song selection. We highly recommend him!

    Mike was absolutely phenomenal! We hired him to perform at our Legends of The Kensington celebration, and he truly helped make the event unforgettable. From the beginning, Mike went above and beyond to serve our community and ensure his music complemented the atmosphere we were creating. His talent, professionalism, warmth, and ability to engage the audience elevated the entire experience. Our residents and guests were incredibly thrilled with his performance. It was wonderful to see people enjoying the music, smiling, and taking in the beautiful atmosphere he helped create. Mike wasn't simply entertainment for the evening—he became a meaningful part of the celebration. We received so many wonderful comments about his music, and we could not have been happier with our decision to have him perform. We will absolutely be hiring Mike again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and engaging saxophonist for a special event. Thank you, Mike, for helping make our Legends celebration so memorable!
