Marisa D. Married on 05/28/2022Best DJ/Saxophonist/Pianist/Emcee/Party Dude EVER!
We just celebrated our wedding this past weekend and when I tell you Tyler was a hit, I mean he was a SMASHING SUCCESS!! All of our guests raved about him all evening and I continue to get texts from friends and family about how he was such a cool and unique touch. He was so kind and fun and accommodating through the entire planning process. And then day of he made everything run so smoothly. He emcee’d like a boss, killed it on the keyboard for our guests pre-ceremony and for our processional, and slayed the sax for our cocktail hour and our first dance. It was a dream. A true dream. And then the dance floor??? Don’t get me started. I was PUMPED!! And so were my guests! Tyler kept the party going and nobody (especially me) wanted it to end.
I have to add…when I first started checking out wedding vendors, I came across a review for Tyler in which a bride and groom said they CHANGED THEIR FREAKING WEDDING DATE because Tyler wasn’t available on their original date. Now I know why!! Book him. Book him now. No…book him yesterday! You will not regret it.
