Dear Dan, Just wanted to thank you for the amazing job you done entertaining our guests on our big day. Dan you were incredible and the mix you did was perfect. You were so professional and we didn’t worry at all because this all was clear from booking you. Our guests thought you were amazing and still talk about “our sax guy”. I will sing your praises and pass on your details to anyone who needs a sax player or an awesome DJ. We hope to cross paths with you again one day!

Hi Dan, I'm so sorry its taken me so long to write this since the wedding but I have been meaning (along with sending you some videos) to say thank you SO much - you made our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be - an incredible party!!

What a night! My wife and I had the pleasure of Dan performing at our wedding reception and it couldn't have been more memorable. From the off he had our guests in awe of his talent. The blend of superb DJing and amazing saxophone playing kept everyone on the dancefloor from start to finish. The feedback we received was truly brilliant and he brought the day to a perfect end. We can't recommend him enough!
