Graeme was absolutely perfect. He played beautifully and helped create exactly the relaxed, fun vibe we wanted at the start of our wedding and during the welcome cocktails. His skill, professionalism, and understanding of exactly what would work elevated the day and we’ve had endless compliments from our friends and family. The best of the best!

Amazing sax player!

Graeme played the saxophone at our wedding and was a huge hit! He was easy, flexible and friendly to deal with through the whole process, we had a great time picking the songs and vibe for each of our drinks receptions and having him play really pulled the whole day together. He is a talented musician and read the room without the music being overbearing or too loud, creating a lovely atmosphere. Our guests loved him and we are still getting compliments, if you're looking for an extra bit of fun to add to your day then I totally recommend getting in touch. Thanks Graeme!

Simply amazing!

We were looking for a Sax player to play at our Wedding and came across Graeme. From the very beginning, the communication with Graeme was fantastic and he made everything so simple and easy. The performance that Graeme produced on the day during our drinks reception was superb. It created the exact vibe we wanted. So many guests commented on how amazing he was.
Graeme - you were simply amazing and we can't thank you enough for helping to make our day so special.
Many thanks,
The new Mr and Mrs Gunningham.
