Where do I even begin??? Brian was absolutely FANTASTIC! I had a vision for my wedding that included having a saxophone player during the cocktail hour. When I took this vision to my wedding wallet (my father), he was adamant that hiring a sax player was unnecessary and that I was losing my marbles. After some convincing by my mother, we hired Brian. His communication was great, his song list was hard to make decisions off of because it was so good, and his talent is through the roof! Not only would no one shut up about how great Brian was (which I LOVED to hear), my dad also ate his words about not needing a sax player soooooo fast! Since our wedding last month, Brian has become my family's favorite subject to talk about at every family dinner. My biggest regret from the wedding was not having enough time during cocktail hour to stop taking photos and truly enjoy the phenomenal sounds that were flowing from the saxophone. As the venue was golf-carting my husband and I around the venue to take photos during cocktail hour, we were dancing along to the tunes, which were still somehow heard throughout the entire massive golf course/country club that we got married at. Brian is the absolute best and I could not recommend him MORE! Do it, do it, do it!!!! If you want people to rave about your wedding for years to come, Brian is the secret potion that will allow that to happen.

omething special. My husband and I are huge house music fans and always wanted to suprise our guests with a "Innerbloom" by Rufus Du Sol performance in the middle of dinner to signal that it's time to hit the dance floor and Brian did exactly that. He learned the song and collaborated with our DJ, I can't even begin to explain how fast everybody ran to the dance floor. I still have people texting and calling me raving about it! If you want an unforgettable evening filled with great music, there is no better decision than to make Brian a part of it. 10/10!!!

Emma R

As a wedding planner who’s been leading weddings in San Diego since 2017, I can honestly say I have never worked with a better musician than Brian! Not only is he the kindest human...

, but his passion for his craft shines through in every performance. I recently had him at a wedding, and he was so incredible that I immediately pulled him in for a vendor event with top wedding pros in San Diego - and he knocked it out of the park. The DJ at that event leaned more toward 90s throwback vibes, and the way Brian collaborated with him to create unique, seamless mixes (without ever meeting the DJ!) was absolute perfection. On top of his talent, Brian also breaks the mold when it comes to communication. Many musicians can be tricky to get timely responses from, but Brian is reliable, professional, and makes the planning process so smooth. Hire this man - you will not regret it!

I highly recommend Brian for any special occasion. Brian is extremely professional and passionate about his music. everyone at the wedding enjoyed hearing Brian play the saxophone....

He was very responsive since day one and great at communicating with me via email. Planning a wedding is not easy and can be stressful. Knowing I could count on Brian to be there and be the entertainment for my wedding really took some weight off my shoulders. I dealt with a few vendors that were not very good at responding to me and caused me a lot of headaches, but Brian did not. He was easy to work with. I am extremely thankful for him and i would hire him again!

efore our wedding and knew immediately he was the one. He traveled all the way to Arizona for our big day, and we’re still so grateful! Brian was super responsive, kind, and genuinely excited to be part of our celebration. From playing as I walked down the aisle, to setting the perfect cocktail hour vibe, to joining us on the dance floor for the entire reception—he did it all! Our guests still haven’t stopped talking about “the sax guy.” He brought the energy, the fun, and the cool factor. If you're on the fence about having live sax at your wedding, let this be your sign: DO IT. Brian is the best, hands down!

Brian Pierini was an absolute highlight of our wedding! From the moment he started playing, his energy lit up the room and set the tone for an unforgettable celebration. His talent...

on the saxophone is unmatched, and his ability to connect with our guests was incredible. Brian didn’t just stay on stage—he danced with the crowd, weaving through the dance floor, and brought everyone into the moment with his infectious enthusiasm. One of the best parts was how seamlessly he vibed with our DJ. It felt like they had been performing together for years. The synergy between the live sax and the DJ’s tracks was electric, creating a dynamic and unique atmosphere that had everyone dancing the night away. What truly stood out was Brian’s willingness to go above and beyond to make our day special. We had a few song requests that weren’t on his usual setlist, and he learned them just for us! Hearing our favorite songs performed live on the saxophone was such a personal and memorable touch. Brian Pierini is not just a phenomenal musician but also a true entertainer. He brought so much life and joy to our wedding, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about him. If you’re looking for someone to elevate your event and create unforgettable moments, Brian is your guy!

om the reviews and videos we saw online, we knew Brian was very talented. Brian was responsive and very kind. We hired him to play for our pre-ceremony and cocktail hours and we were able to select from a list of songs for him to play or he can build a set list based on the vibe you're looking for. Brian allowed us to select two songs that weren't yet in his catalog and this was my favorite thing. I chose a song that I loved and asked him to play it right before the ceremony started. Brian put on a show for our guests as he walked up and down the aisle, setting the tone for the ceremony. I loved watching the videos of him performing. So many of our guests have told me how great he was. If you're looking for a saxophonist, look no further! Brian is your guy!

Brian was awesome! He was such a pleasure to work with, professional and quick to respond to my numerous emails. He even took the time to learn 3 new songs for our wedding ceremony...

. I’m looking forward to working with him again. My family said the “Sax Player” was one of the highlights of our wedding. We had a very small and intimate wedding and having Brian play was definitely one that we’ll remember. My only regret is that I wish I had him play during cocktail and dinner as well. Anyone looking for a Sax player, Brian is the man!

Brian absolutely stole the show (in the best way possible :)) during our wedding reception. Pre-event planning was seamless and Brian came to us with a diverse catalog of songs t...

hat he could play. We requested one additional song that he learned within a few weeks of the wedding and absolutely blew us away with. His coordination with our DJ was first-rate and it seemed like they had been performing together for years. Brian moved throughout the reception area, weaving in and out of our guest tables, which our guests really enjoyed. We could see everyone moving with the music, even while they were eating their dinners. Just the absolute best addition that we could have envisioned for our wedding. Thanks Brian!

We are so glad we booked Brian for our wedding reception. Throughout the night (and after the wedding), our guests kept telling us how amazing Brian was. You can tell he really has...

a love for the saxophone and what he does! Not only did he deliver on the day of the wedding, he was so incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process. Not to mention, he was extremely thoughtful about our first dance request. We asked for a saxophone cover of a song, and the way he did the cover was above and beyond what we asked for. If you're on the fence about having live music at your wedding, do yourself a favor and book Brian Pierini. He won't disappoint and honestly, was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

I found Brian on Instagram. I’ve watched his first video and fell in love with his playing! I gave his contact to this couple I was planning a wedding for. They hired him immediat...

ely, Brian was very professional, responsible and the way he played everyone had goose bumps. After the event I hired him for a surprise birthday party and I would definitely recommend Brian for any occasion that I plan. Thank you Brian! You’re rock!
