We looked everywhere for just the right wedding musician for our ceremony. When we heard Sax ONE'S music, we both knew immediately this was our musician. Dan took care of everyth...
ing and performed "Here comes the bride" on solo saxophone as my bride walked down the aisle. It was like music from heaven as it filled the large church. I am so glad we didn't go with the traditional organ wedding march! At the end of the ceremony, Dan played a jazzy version of the ceremony exit music and again, it was wonderful! Thank you Dan!

You know your musician is good when everyone is smiling and you can just tell they're having a good time! Hire Dan, Sax ONE!

successful outcome to Dan. He is easily reachable as we communicated over the phone and emails over a dozen times as I was a little nervous. He was very assuring and provided feedback and suggestions which we followed and everything turned out great.

ontact and through the entire process.
We hired him to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He arrived early, setup and, well, not only was ready to play, he was playing before first guest arrived!
The highlight of the night, was my grandmothers reaction. She loves the sax and appreciated every bit of his performance. She couldn't have happier! For that matter, all of my guests really appreciated Dan's talent — we received so many compliments about his playing and the vibe he created. I would hire Dan again in a heartbeat! A true artist and performer!
