"The best vendor we hired for our wedding!"
"My guests and my husband were blown away!"
"So many people talked about how awesome the sax player was!"
"Guests were shedding a tear when Tyler played Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud as I walked down the aisle"
"One memory I will forever hold in my heart is walking down the aisle with my father to Tyler playing Here Comes The Bride. Almost losing my father the year before made that walk that much more special."
"An invaluable, perfect moment with my grandpa that I will never forget. I am so grateful."
"From the planning to the big day, Tyler exceeded all of our expectations. He made sure my vision was carried out and offered his professional input that really brought everything together. Our wedding was so special because of Tyler's beautiful music!"
"I even had a guest book him to play at her wedding the following month!"

Best money we spent on our wedding! I can’t even tell you how beyond thrilled my husband and I are about the amazing job Tyler did performing at our wedding. It truly made our already special day beyond amazing!
We wanted something that would get the party started right off from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. Can’t tell you how many people commented on how amazing it was to have Tyler playing saxophone.
Tyler played keyboard during our ceremony. I am getting chills just thinking about it now, but the moment I heard him playing just before I walked down the aisle, the emotion of the day hit me like a wave. From our quick ceremony and onto the cocktail hour Tyler’s playing brought life to our guests and to us.
Tyler was excellent at communicating both with myself, our DJ and our planner. He was so organized and thoughtful with our day!
I don’t think I could thank him enough times. It was more than we could have ever imagined. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tyler!!

Tyler was incredible! He was, hands down, my favorite part of our ceremony! The guests raved about him. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and so talented. He’s a brilliant musician and a great human being!

I’ve been to multiple weddings that Tyler has played for. He is an incredible musician and brings such an energy and enthusiasm to every gig he plays. He played our first dance song which was absolutely perfect and the other wedding where we saw him perform was one of the most fun we’ve been to. Having live saxophone just elevated the party to the next level.
