Louis & Vieanna

Richie was absolutely amazing at our wedding. His saxophone skills were captivating, setting the perfect tone for the evening. From romantic ballads to upbeat jazz numbers, he impressed everyone with his talent and versatility. Richie's professionalism and tailored performance made working with him a breeze. Our guests are still talking about his incredible performance, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you want a talented saxophonist to elevate your event, Richie is the one to pick.

Elevated our evening! Absolutely insane!

We booked Richie for our evening reception on our wedding day. In the lead up he was super responsive and helpful which is just what a bride needs when managing lots of suppliers.

He started with our first dance which he learned in preparation as it wasn’t in his repertoire, his riffs were incredible, his timing impeccable, he really brought the vibe. The guests absolutely loved him and have raved on about him since the wedding! I’ve also had a few friends on instagram also ask for his details as they want him too!

So glad we found Richie, he made our evening even more special and I highly recommend to everyone!

Brought a Beautiful Element to our already special day

Richie Brought a Beautiful Element to our already special day. He was courteous and polite and got straight into it. The all the guest loved his vibe and he got a huge round of appaluse at dinner for his solo during one of the songs. It was magical and would recommend Richie all the way.

The party starter!

What a guy, what a performance! Richie did a fantastic job at bringing the vibe to my wedding last week. He has people up and dancing over the wedding breakfast - and the party didn't stop either. Couldn't have imagined my wedding without Richie. I thought a sax was a ' nice little added touch', but Richie became a major part of the day's highlights!

A great addition to our drinks reception!

We were looking at entertainment for our drinks reception when we came across Richie, we thought a Saxophonist would be the perfect addition and we were absolutely correct. Richie was an incredible addition to our day and all of our guests were asking how we found him. He kept our guests thoroughly entertained during our group photos! We would heavily recommend him to anyone!
