Macie B. Married on 03/25/2023Unique, memorable and personal
Tyler took our extremely unique vision and captured it perfectly. From a sunset ceremony with the sweet sounds of his piano to the lively saxophone and versatile DJing, he was truly incredible. Beyond just checking off what we asked of him, he interacted with guests, took time and effort to ensure he knew what was important to us, and he was relatable and fun. 10/10 would recommend him for your wedding or event. He is amazing! -

Sarah G. Married on 01/28/2023AMAZING - Do not pass up on this opportunity!
Tyler was nothing short of amazing. It's almost a month past our wedding and we are still getting compliments on our DJ/Emcee/Saxophonist. He was such a wonderful surprise for our guests and created an awesome vibe for the whole night.
Tyler's preparation was also a dream. He had forms for us to fill out and followed up with meetings to make sure he captured the type of music we liked and the event sequence of the night. Half the wedding was egyptian and he was even able to roll with those punches AND prepared sax accompaniment to arabic songs. He ALSO partnered super well with our zaffa procession and our other vendors.
I have already and will continue to recommend him to everyone who wants a great wedding! Thank you, Tyler!!!
