WORTH EVERY PENNY - BOOK HIM!
When I started planning my 40th birthday party, I couldn't decide between a band or a DJ. Each one I was looking at was just not the vibe and I was starting to get discouraged. Then, a friend of mine posted a story at a party where Tyler was DJing/playing the sax, and right away I knew he was the missing piece. I've attended parties with a sax player before, but NEVER like this and never one who does BOTH the DJing AND the sax! From the moment I reached out, Tyler was incredible. He followed up quickly and was great with all communications - we hopped on a call and to go over my theme and ideas, and he was so receptive and amazing with adding in things to help take my existing ideas to the next level. He even helped with the floor plan suggestions to help ensure my goal of "everyone being on the dance floor with me all night" would be more achievable - and omg am I glad I listened. Additionally, he suggested extending the party 1 hour, and thankfully we did because my initial timing guess was way off. Bottom line - trust him, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. At the same time, he was never pushy and I never felt like I HAD to go with his ideas, but again, so glad I did. On the night of the party, from start to finish Tyler and his team were flawless. He made sure to play all of my "must play" songs, and read the vibes of the room perfectly - I've truly never seen some of my guests dance this much EVER. The amount of people who came up to me that night and have texted and called me since to tell me how epic Tyler and his team were is not surprising in the least. Multiple guests described it as the "best party they've ever been to" and said they "haven't danced that much since college" (and let's just say, it's been at least 15-20 years since then for all of us). One of my friends even booked him on the spot for her upcoming birthday! I could truly go on and on, but I will just end with this - DON'T THINK TWICE, DON'T BOTHER LOOKING ELSEWHERE, BOOK TYLER. You will NOT regret it! Thanks Tyler and team for the most epic night of my life!!! (also, I wish I could upload videos here because photos don't do any justice!!!)
The BEST time!
I am SO happy I found Tyler on social media. He was definitely one of the highlights of my entire wedding, and all my guests loved him! He really does know how to work a crowd with his amazing saxophone ranging from gen z to the older folks. Tyler led my whole party from cocktail hour to the reception room, and he played his versions of my favorite edm songs for the bridal party entrances as well! I can’t wait to throw another event like a baby shower so that I can have him play the piano!
YOU NEED TYLER!!
We absolutely loved having Tyler as our saxophonist and MC for our wedding! He was incredible and truly such an important part of our day. He kept the energy high throughout cocktail hour and dinner, and his transitions as an MC were seamless. He did an amazing job keeping us on track without ever making anything feel rushed or forced. His song choices were perfect and had everyone up and dancing all night. I can't imagine having our wedding without Tyler and 10000% recommend!!
100/10 AMAZING!!!
Tyler was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made for our wedding! He was so professional, friendly, attentive, and communicative. If you are debating whether or not to book Tyler for your wedding, I’ll give you one less decision to make- YES! Our wedding was 8 months ago and our friends and family still talk about how great he was! BEST MUSIC EVER!
