Smooth Sounds

The smooth sounds of Dan made the wedding even more special for my clients. I sent him a list of songs the couple wanted played and he had no problem learning the music from different eras. He came prepared with all of the equipment needed and dressed professionally. I hired him for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. I am hoping to definitely work with him again. So professional and responsive and was able to pivot when needed. Thanks so much Dan for making my clients special day a success.

The BEST wedding musician!

We looked everywhere for just the right wedding musician for our ceremony. When we heard Sax ONE'S music, we both knew immediately this was our musician. Dan took care of everything and performed "Here comes the bride" on solo saxophone as my bride walked down the aisle. It was like music from heaven as it filled the large church. I am so glad we didn't go with the traditional organ wedding march! At the end of the ceremony, Dan played a jazzy wedding version of the wedding March. It was wonderful!

Dan was great!

Dan's music was ABSOLUTELY GREAT at our wedding. He set a great mood during cocktails and dinner, handled MC duties like an true professional (keeping us on track and while being flexible with timing), and had the dance floor hoppin' afterwards. He was gracious enough to learn an entirely new song for our first dance, which made it a very special moment for us. We had many guests comment on how great he was, and everyone truly enjoyed the wedding. I 100% recommend him for a wedding! You know your musician is good when everyone is smiling and you can just tell they're having a good time! Hire Dan, Sax ONE!

Sax One was Great!!

From the time we first met Dan and went over some ideas for our ceremony to the wedding, we were very pleased. We chose our ceremony music from Dan's song list and had him play "Here Comes The Bride" on solo saxophone as Kim walked down the aisle. It was the most magical moment! We had Dan play Kenny G songs for the ceremony and he got everyone up and dancing at the reception with "Uptown Funk" on saxophone! He is by far the best sax player out there.

Best Decision We made was to hire Dan!

Sax ONE exceeded our expectations! Dan performed all of our wedding ceremony music on saxophone and flute. He even sang our favorite song for the Bride's entrance! We decided to also have him perform for the cocktail hour. The best decision we made was to hire Dan. Such a wonderful musician

Dan was Fantastic! He is truly the BEST!

Dan was fantastic! He exceeded our expectations and made our wedding much more magical. He played a great range of music that everyone young and old could enjoy. He kept the volume so that the room was filled with music, but everyone could have a conversation without difficulty. He was friendly and professional. We will definitely use him again. Thank you, Dan, for making our wedding a fantastic evening!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
