Tyler is the best in the business. The GOAT. A Renaissance Man. An absolute legend. Stop your search as you have found your guy.
From a music perspective he is incredibly talented. His sax game is electric, piano on point and Dj/Emcee perfect...
. Our dance floor was rocking all night. Did I mention how epic the surprise sax appearances are?!
As a person, he is so calming, kind and thoughtful. Weddings are stressful enough and the entire process with Tyler was seamless and fun. He's knowledgeable and really tries to tailor each experience to the couple.
My wife and I have not stopped receiving compliments about how amazing Tyler was. Tyler was the best decision we made (other than marrying each other). Can't wait to have him party with us at another life event in the future!
We absolutely LOVED having Tyler DJ/emcee our wedding! He brought such amazing energy from Day 1, and helped us to create an incredible environment at our wedding. Guests absolutely loved his live saxophone and piano, and multiple of our frien...
ds have asked for his contact info for their upcoming events. We cannot recommend Tyler enough!
We had the pleasure of working with Tyler Varnell as our DJ, emcee, and sax player for our wedding, and the entire experience was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Tyler was a true professional, and he exceeded all of our expectation...
s.
Tyler's website and social media profiles showcased his talent, but experiencing his music and emceeing skills in person was something else entirely. He brought an incredible energy to our wedding, and he had the entire crowd on their feet from the very beginning. Tyler seamlessly transitioned between his roles as DJ, emcee, and saxophonist, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere throughout the event.
One of the highlights of the evening was Tyler's saxophone performance. His musical talent added a unique and beautiful touch to our wedding. Our guests were blown away by his skill, and many of them mentioned that it was the first time they had seen a live saxophonist at a wedding. It was truly a memorable and magical moment.
Not only is Tyler incredibly talented, but he's also a pleasure to work with. He listened to our preferences and made sure to incorporate our favorite songs into the playlist. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly ensured that everyone was dancing and having a great time.
Perhaps the best indicator of Tyler's excellence is the fact that our guests are still talking about him. We've received countless compliments and messages from our friends and family, and my mother-in-law even jokes that we should throw another party just so we can hire Tyler again.
If you're looking for a DJ, emcee, or saxophonist who will make your event truly special, look no further than Tyler Varnell. He's not just a musician; he's a wedding entertainment extraordinaire. Thank you, Tyler, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
Any questions?
Amazing, professional, and talented. Tyler was honestly the highlight of our wedding and I can't even begin to count the amount of people that asked us for his info for their future events, etc. He is incredibly attentive to detail and makes su...
re to communicate throughout to give you the best experience possible. I would hire him in a heartbeat, and definitely recommend you look no further if you're looking for a live music component!
We had the most incredible time at our wedding, and Tyler played a huge part in making it such a memorable night! Tyler created the exact vibe we wanted and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. His music selection was spot on, cater...
ing to all our guests' tastes. What made it even more special was when Tyler displayed his incredible saxophone skills! His live sax added a fun and unforgettable touch to the evening. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our special day.
Tyler is AMAZING. We found Tyler through our wedding planner and we are so glad we did. He is super responsive and deeply cares about making each couples wedding day important and tailored to them. For us the music was a huge part of our weddin...
g day as we are both heavily into music as well as our parents. Tyler spent over 2 1/2 hours on our final call (originally meant to be an hour) perfecting the set and perfect types of music to play for each sequence of events throughout the entire wedding day. He created such a magical atmosphere from start to finish. The ceremony music was timed beautifully and the cocktail hour music was amazing when he started playing sax! He was a huge crowd pleaser all night long, especially on the dance floor. My husband and I are big into EDM and boy did he deliver the last hour playing music that had everyone so pumped up to the point where our wedding had ended and our crowd was SCREAMING for one more song! The day was absolutely amazing and we cannot thank Tyler enough for going above and beyond in his delivery and performance of music for our special day.
A friend recommended Tyler after attending another wedding he performed at and WOW! All of our guests were on the dance floor all night and would not stop raving about him the next day. He was professional, attentive, and really took the time t...
o understand our vision. He even created a custom remix for our exit recessional song. The SAX was the hit of our wedding! If you're on the fence, book him!
He literally MADE the wedding. Such a great way to blend DJ & Band!!! Couldn't recommend more highly!
Tyler is the ultimate triple threat- live music (sax + piano), DJ, and emcee. I originally met Tyler at a friends wedding and loved him so much, we decided to fly him to Arizona for our wedding. You know how I know he KILLED IT? More people wer...
e looking at him vs me (the bride). I promise, you will not regret hiring him. LOVED Tyler.
My wife and I used Tyler for our wedding in the South Bay of LA. He was absolutely phenomenal. He consulted with us well before the ceremony. Took our specific requests and added his own twists. Created the exact environment we wanted. Overall,...
he was attentive and brilliant. Hire this man!
Tyler took our extremely unique vision and captured it perfectly. From a sunset ceremony with the sweet sounds of his piano to the lively saxophone and versatile DJing, he was truly incredible. Beyond just checking off what we asked of him, he ...
interacted with guests, took time and effort to ensure he knew what was important to us, and he was relatable and fun. 10/10 would recommend him for your wedding or event. He is amazing!
Tyler was nothing short of amazing. It's almost a month past our wedding and we are still getting compliments on our DJ/Emcee/Saxophonist. He was such a wonderful surprise for our guests and created an awesome vibe for the whole night.
Tyler's...
preparation was also a dream. He had forms for us to fill out and followed up with meetings to make sure he captured the type of music we liked and the event sequence of the night. Half the wedding was egyptian and he was even able to roll with those punches AND prepared sax accompaniment to arabic songs. He ALSO partnered super well with our zaffa procession and our other vendors.
I have already and will continue to recommend him to everyone who wants a great wedding! Thank you, Tyler!!!
Tyler was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. Every single person couldn't stop talking about how good the sax guy was. He was accommodating and communicative and gave great insight and suggestions. He knew exactly what to ...
play, when to play it and MC'd the night flawlessly. He is essentially a 3 in 1 deal and a memorable addition to any wedding and event. I want to get married again just to have him play! Thank you Tyler for making the night unforgettable!
I want to kick myself in the butt for taking so long to write this review - reason being that there is no review I could ever write that would accurately portray how amazing Tyler is! I was honestly hesitant at first due to wedding budget and t...
he fact he’d need to travel from SoCal to NorCal for us, but the stars must have aligned, because I reached out anyways and had absolutely zero regrets. He was awesome to work with right from the first meeting. I booked him as a surprise for my fiancé at the time and Tyler was so kind, approachable, and adaptable to all the ideas and custom pieces I’d pitch to him. In between all the wedding stress, he was the one vendor I’d always feel positive and optimistic working with. We could never thank him enough for all he did at our wedding - the custom ceremony songs, keeping our cocktail hour and reception unique and exciting for everyone, and then then his energy on the dance floor! Part of us felt so guilty asking him to try so many new things (EDM renditions of songs on sax), but he knocked it all out of the park. He was the highlight of our wedding and all our guests could not stop talking about him, even to this day! He was the most memorable part of our wedding (aside from the marriage of course)! We could never thank Tyler enough. What made the entire experience even more unforgettable and amazing is the fact that he didn’t just provide a “service” to us. He was always kind, genuine, down-to-earth, and just all around a great person. He mingled with our friends and made himself comfortable with all of us, which put an even bigger smile on our faces!
Wow! Tyler is truly special. We flew him down to Todos Santos, Mexico to DJ for our wedding weekend and we are still speechless. He truly took the time to understand us as a couple and our musical interests for what we were looking for our cere...
mony + reception. He set the right vibes from start to finish and our guests could not get off the dance floor under the Baja sky.
We found Tyler after attending one of of best friends weddings and knew we couldn't have our wedding without him. He is professional, fun and incredibly talented. We are so lucky he was available for our wedding weekend!
If you've come across this review, all I have to say is: Don't hesitate and book him while you can! When my wife and I saw Tyler perform and DJ at my best man's wedding, we knew that we had to have him at ours! Even though our wedding was abou...
t 15 months later after meeting Tyler, we contacted him the next day so that we can retain him for our wedding day. We had him perform saxophone for our cocktail hour and reception and he was a hit! People could not stop talking about him the day after!
Communication with Tyler was effortless, and he was able to work alongside our lifelong DJ to provide a very smooth transition between mp3s and Tyler's track list. He was even able to learn songs that wasn't on his track list, but was mandatory for our special moments such as first dance, mother-son, and father-daughter dance. Having Tyler play the saxophone live during these moments made these even more memorable! I wish I could have another event so that I can party to Tyler's music again! Maybe that wish will come true, as many of my guests grabbed his business cards and stated they want to book him for their events: maybe even just a family party! Trust me all, he was that good!
I cannot stress enough how lucky my husband and I were to have Tyler for our wedding! Seriously, he's an all-around entertainer. Live saxophone/piano, DJ, and emcee?? What more could you ask for?!
First off, during our planning meeting, Tyler ...
was so attentive to what we exactly wanted for the music and vibe we wanted for all the different parts of our wedding. He even recreated music I wanted for our ceremony exit song; I wanted to have the ceremony exit song (with the live music) from the movie Love Actually, and it was difficult to find the song online, but he was able to recreate it so beautifully! He really matches the vibe you want for your wedding, and made it so personalized for us. He created so many atmospheres for our wedding: from classy/romantic to dance party/rave. And all with his saxophone mixed in!!!
If there was anything we felt like we needed guidance on, his suggestions were AWESOME (i.e. placement of lights/music during the wedding/reception so that guests would feel more involved and pumped up to party). We could tell that he really knew his craft.
Tyler even had some add-on lighting packages (up-lighting, light batons, etc.) to make our wedding look amazing! He was even able to accommodate us by coordinating with some pyrotechnics that I rented from another vendor, so that it would synchronize with the music! All around best best best music dude. **Make sure to get Tyler's lighting add-ons, they're SUPER WORTH IT**
Anyways, everyone at our wedding loved Tyler! Our engaged friends (and even our pre-engaged friends) are planning on having him at their weddings! He really made our wedding incredibly special. If you're looking for an awesome and unique music vendor to keep the party going for your wedding, Tyler's your guy! I would rate 6 stars if I could.
All I can say is..... WOW!!!!!!!! Tyler truly made our wedding day. I know people came to see us get married, but they didn't realize they were coming for a show and a dance party. Tyler frickin rocked it the whole day!!
From the keyboard bef...
ore the ceremony, to you and our family friend singing making me hysterically cry down the aisle, to rocking it at cocktail hour (and remembering the songs we really wanted to hear), to perfecting mcing, to your At Last suggestion on the dance floor, to CRUSHING IT ALL NIGHT ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
I have never had more fun or felt more alive. We knew Tyler would be great, but he exceeded all expectations. Tyler truly made our wedding perfect. You have no idea how many people loved you. My friend's husband, who I have never seen dance at a wedding (not even his own) was on the dance floor ALL night. Also I am so happy we went with the lights and light wands. It truly made it an epic dance party. The curation of the playlist was perfect and the mix of songs all night was great for everyone.
Tyler was a great addition to our wedding! He played the piano during ceremony, then brought out the saxophone for cocktail hour and reception. Even though it was a dry wedding (no alcohol), people were still dancing and having a great time. Ty...
ler did an awesome job making sure the music and mood of the wedding was upbeat and everyone had so much fun. Highly recommend!

year, great energy, and super talented! Our guest were all amazed and we felt like we were at a concert at the reception. Nobody (including the bride & groom) wanted to leave the dance floor! 11/10!!!
Having Tyler play at our wedding ceremony and reception was hands-down the best decision we made in planning our day. I emphatically recommend him - his music, approach, professionalism, care and enthusiasm were all highly exceptional. Our wedd...
ing felt so fun and classy thanks to Tyler!
Tyler is one of the FIRST vendors we booked almost a year before our wedding. That is because we were immediately certain about that choice. It is rare to find someone who can be a charismatic emcee, lively sax player, and romantic piano play...
er all at the same time. He provided romantic pre-ceremony music on live piano, playing both classic and top 40 hits. For our grand exit, he wrote his own live sax set to accompany our song choice and welcomed us into marriage at the end of the ceremony aisle. The guests were shocked and so excited to find out he played the sax too. The rest of the night was SUCH a hit as he found the right pockets during cocktail hour and the reception to come out into the crowd and jam on his sax. Tyler plans well in advance of the event, so the night went smoothly from start to finish. He knew how to read the room and found the right moments to play soft music for the crowd to mingle and talk, and the right moments to get the crowd jumping on their feet. After my wedding, so many of my guests told me that Tyler was the highlight of the night. My friends and family said they will require Tyler to play his sax at all wedding events moving forward because no other wedding will be the same! Most importantly – Tyler is a nice, sincere, stand up guy. He truly listened and remembered what songs I mentioned during our meetings. During my wedding, I smiled and looked at him when he played a bunch of my favorites throughout the night. It’s little moments like that I will forever remember and appreciate. It is a true talent to do what Tyler does. He does it with grace and is always fun and professional. You will not regret hiring Tyler for your event -- It was one of the best wedding decisions we made!!!
If you want an incredible wedding, look no further than Tyler! He is professional, easy to work with, prompt, detailed, and overall the life of the party! He and his assistant, Andrew, kept our guests amazed and entertained all night long! The ...
dance floor was packed and he even accommodated our wedding ceremony song requests. Tyler will forever be the best wedding vendor that we decided to book!
Tyler was, frankly, perfect. Start to finish he was quick to respond, very thorough, and completely professional. But the craziest part was how good his performance was. Many of our guests, including us, were blown away. His performances on the...
dance floor were electric, and his ceremony and cocktail performances were beautiful. He's an impressive guy and if he's free on your weekend, do it. It will probably be the best part of your wedding.
Tyler made our wedding so amazing!! I kept his card years ago and knew I wanted Sax music for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations. He was the best addition to our wedding and I could not be happier. He does it all!!! Sax, Piano, emcee ...
& dj, it all was amazing. Pleasure to work with him on our wedding. Every song was a dream! We got so many compliments during the wedding and still receiving the most wonderful comments about our wedding because of the sax.
Just WOW - Tyler Varnell's contribution to our wedding experience was even more than we could have ever imagined! In addition to being an incredibly talented musician (he can literally improv over anything), he was incredibly professional, resp...
onsive, flexible, and went above and beyond to make our wedding day a customized experience. For example, he effortlessly infused top 40s and classic Bollywood music (which he learned specifically for our event) into our cocktail hour, giving all of our guests something to be effusively excited about. This brought a fun yet sophisticated vibe to our cocktail hour. Additionally, he seamlessly coordinated a saxophone solo into our first dance, complimented the DJ with a few saxophone covers during dinner, and even hopped on the dance floor and tore it up with some solos during peak party energy. Tyler truly elevated our wedding experience and will forever be someone we gratefully and fondly remember when reflecting on our special day. His musically abilities and commitment to us as a couple were outstanding. Would 100% recommend to any couple who wants maximize their wedding's musical experience.
We just celebrated our wedding this past weekend and when I tell you Tyler was a hit, I mean he was a SMASHING SUCCESS!! All of our guests raved about him all evening and I continue to get texts from friends and family about how he was such a c...
ool and unique touch. He was so kind and fun and accommodating through the entire planning process. And then day of he made everything run so smoothly. He emcee’d like a boss, killed it on the keyboard for our guests pre-ceremony and for our processional, and slayed the sax for our cocktail hour and our first dance. It was a dream. A true dream. And then the dance floor??? Don’t get me started. I was PUMPED!! And so were my guests! Tyler kept the party going and nobody (especially me) wanted it to end.
I have to add…when I first started checking out wedding vendors, I came across a review for Tyler in which a bride and groom said they CHANGED THEIR FREAKING WEDDING DATE because Tyler wasn’t available on their original date. Now I know why!! Book him. Book him now. No…book him yesterday! You will not regret it.
Saw Tyler's skills at a wedding he worked. Yes he's a good businessmen etc.... his music repertoire, showman ship n saxophone skills are Fantastic plus!! I'm a musician n play sax too! This guy does it all. Tyler awesome job at J & M Nappi wed...

Tyler was the talk of the night! We kept the live music as a surprise to our guests and, boy, were they surprised. I am so glad that google led me to Tyler with the simple keywords, piano, saxophone and DJ. He really does it all! Tyler and his ...
associate are the ultimate professionals. We had some unforeseen circumstances and needed to rearrange our floor plan at the last minute, and they were so gracious and accommodating. Our guests got to dance under the stars to the sound of a live saxophone and it truly became the night of our dreams. I’ll be recommending Tyler and his team to everyone I know, because I can’t wait to party with them again!
In search of a DJ/Emcee/Musician/Live Performer for your wedding? Look no further! Tyler Varnell is your guy!!
Tyler brought our wedding to the next level! His music selection was on point and he knows how to read the crowd. Our favorite moment...
s were when he would jump in with his saxophone and we all went wild! Having Tyler perform at our wedding was the best decision we made to celebrate our special day and we thank him for doing an outstanding job!
WOW. I truly have no words to describe how amazing Tyler Varnell is. From the beginning, he was so friendly, communicative and easy to work with. We knew we were in good hands. Then seeing him perform at our wedding...he truly blew our minds an...
d exceeded all expectations!! From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception, he customized each portion and kept the energy going from start to finish. His surprise sax performances on the dance floor pumped up our guests and had everyone dancing, singing, and having the time of their lives. He WAS the party! All of our guests have been raving about him, and we even have a few engaged couples who want to book him next! Our wedding would not have been the same without Tyler, and we are so grateful to have found him. You will not regret having him be a part of your big day or next event!
I don't have enough space to write how wonderful it was having Tyler preform at our wedding. He played the music for the ceremony, played the saxophone during cocktail hour, and was our DJ/MC for the reception. During the reception he made spec...
ial saxophone appearances which everyone loved. People are still talking about how amazing he was. The reception flowed seamlessly. Tyler is super accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough good things about Tyler. Don't even think about it and just hire him, he will single-handedly make your wedding day less stressful, and significantly more epic. Starting from when we hired him, he was a calming presence, very...
responsive, and gave us the confidence that everything was going to be OK. At the wedding itself, he is the single best wedding resource we've ever come across. The cocktail hour piano / sax, and the dance floor sax + DJ is an experience that every single guest will remember and wish they had though of at their own party. Again, don't think about it, just hire this man.
Tyler Varnell is an absolute wedding/ event experience- we couldn't have picked a better vendor to play at our wedding. Not only is he an amazing musician, but he was able to become the star of the show and really rock the dance floor (or in ou...
r case, a second story balcony over looking reception). He can set a classy, romantic, vibey tone during cocktail hour and then turn around and play hits next to you on the dance floor during reception. He was even able to learn a few songs that were special to my husband and I to play at our wedding. Our guests were in literal awe at the talent and showmanship of Tyler- have you ever heard a sax play EDM hits?- this guys brought it! If you're not hiring him for your wedding, its a total missed opportunity.
Did I also mention his communication was always prompt, positive, and top notch? What more can a couple ask for?!
Amazing!!! Tyler was excellent! He made our wedding extra fun and extra special. Tyler was so nice, so calm and so professional! I would highly recommend him for any event!
OMG. Where do I even begin?!
Tyler is AMAZING and so multi-talented. His piano brings out the emotion during the softer moments in the ceremony. His sax brings the perfect cocktail vibes right after the ceremony. And finally his DJ/MC/surprise...
sax appearances bring an energy to a wedding that is sooooo fun. You cannot find a better person for this than Tyler.
On top of that, he is so organized, friendly, and responsive. He is such a professional and a great guy all around. Hiring Tyler was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I’m so glad we found him!!!
The party started when Tyler began to play the Sax!!
We booked Tyler over 2 years ago for our wedding originally planned in 2020, when we had to postpone we made sure to make our new date around Tyler’s schedule as we had to have him play at ou...
r wedding. We have been waiting over 2 years to hear him play on our big day and it was well worth the wait! He made it feel like a concert on the dance floor. All of our friends and family were blown away by him and it was the most unbelievable experience. We can’t thank Tyler enough and highly recommend him for your big day!
ow. Tyler was a dream come true on our wedding day. We knew we wanted to hire Tyler two years ago but COVID had other plans. After postponing our wedding an extra year, Tyler was one of the first vendors we hired. The talent and professionalism...
that Tyler has is unmatched. Every single one of my guests is still talking about Tyler’s performance. He made our wedding feel intimate and he tailored music according to our preference. He even customized a first dance piece to make our every dream come true. We cannot thank Tyler enough and we hope to anybody reading this you hire him for your special day. I promise you won’t regret it. Thank you Tyler!!
Tyler was an absolute hit at our wedding. He was helpful and communicative and everyone had a blast, almost every guest asked where we found him and all were very impressed.
Tyler is one of those people that you interact with one time, and it becomes apparent within minutes that he is someone you’d want to hang out and be friends with after your event. The interesting thing about Tyler is his ability to fill a spa...
ce with his humble, kind and charismatic personality, and he just becomes the embodiment of the musical atmosphere he creates. It felt almost as if his presence wasn’t real. You can certainly feel his energy of happiness while he is jamming in a crowd of people on the sax, and those vibes go out to everyone lucky enough to be in those moments. There’s not much else to say other than he made our wedding truly special, one that my wife and I will hold near and dear to our hearts for the rest of our lives. We are convinced at this point that Tyler is a wizard because nearly a month after our wedding our friends and family are still talking about how incredible he is. You put a spell on us and our peeps. Thank you, Tyler, for all you do, and we look forward to booking our next milestone event with you!
If there's one thing you can do to make your wedding memorable, its hiring Tyler. He's so talented! We had him as our pianist as guests walked in and our saxophonist during cocktail hour/reception and he stole the show. All our guests were amaz...
ed at how well he handled the crowd, handled the live music and mp3 all while being the emcee. His list of music is quite wide range too so he can play for any crowd. We postponed our wedding 4 times and all four times, Tyler was so quick to respond giving us tips, ideas, and simple encouragement. He was definitely the smoothest vendor I had who even convinced the owner the of the venue to allow live music during reception (there's a certain sound decibel limit at night). Overall, great experience. Hire this guy, you won't regret it.
My husband and I hired Tyler for our wedding and couldn’t be happier that we did. He MADE the wedding. Our guests can’t stop talking about him. We danced the night away and had the best time. He is so talented and brings the best energy. That s...
axophone after party was the best!
The number one thing we wanted for our wedding was live music. At first, we were looking for a band, but when we found Tyler, we knew we had to have him play saxophone/emcee/DJ at our wedding. Tyler put on a show and our guests are still talkin...
g about him weeks after the wedding reception! He was a fantastic communicator leading up to the wedding and is very informative. He knows his music and his presence during open dancing was truly felt. He made our wedding a dream come true. We look forward to having Tyler be a part of our celebrations in the future!
Our family worked with Tyler Varnell for our son’s wedding on May 29, 2021 and he made the reception a blast! From the cocktail hour where he complemented the music with his saxophone to the reception where he provided lighting, music, emcee a...
nd more accompaniment…Tyler was AMAZING! Our friends and family commented that this was the best wedding that they had ever attended and Tyler was a huge part of that experience. Our son and daughter-in-law enjoyed planning their playlist with Tyler and he made sure to read the crowd on the dance floor (which was packed) when he chose each song. It was a magical evening! Thank you Tyler!
From planning the details of the big day to the performance on our big day, Tyler was absolutely perfect! He is so professional and organized, yet full of enthusiasm and positive vibes. My now husband and I's family and friends have not stopped...
talking about how fabulous he was! We booked Tyler to play piano and saxophone, DJ and MC throughout our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Each section of the day was different, but cohesive and smooth. During the reception, he had almost every guest out of the dance floor. We HIGHLY recommend that you book Tyler for any of your events :) We plan to book him for sure in the future!!!
WOW. Tyler Varnell is a superstar. We hired Tyler at the recommendation of our DJ (Eric Morales of Extreme DJs) after mentioning we wanted to add an element of "live music" even though we wanted to hire a DJ for the evening. We hired Tyler to p...
lay Cocktail Hour solo and then accompany Eric during the reception -- dinner, dancing and after party. I'm not exaggerating when I say every single guest approached us during the wedding to tell us how incredible Tyler was. He is engaging, fun, talented and knows how to get the party started and keep it going. His song book covers all genres, and he played a variety of music that appealed to all guests, regardless of age (our families loved when he played Bruno Mars, and my girlfriends went INSANE when he played "Mr. Brightside" -- he can do it all!). He also played during our wedding party grand entrance and our first dance -- which kept our guests engaged. If you are looking for entertainment to truly "wow" your guests, hire Tyler. You won't be disappointed!!

floor with us. No mess ups, schedule ran smoothly and he was very professional along with his assistant. So honored to have him on our special day, everyone was raving about him. So many people asked how to book him for future events. Tyler Varnell has our highest recommendation and made our day absolutely spectacular and memorable!
We engaged Tyler as our sole musician for our wedding and he completely blew it out of the park! He's an absolute professional - exceptional and prompt communicator, generous with his time, very knowledgeable about the do/don'ts for music on t...
he big day, highly engaging, and did I mention, extremely talented! We had an 18mo engagement and from the onset of our time getting to know, and working with, Tyler he was a pleasure to work with. Even throughout the stresses of COVID, Tyler was quick to calm our nerves and provide solutions. He puts so much time and effort into his prep and it was wonderful to see it all come together on our wedding day. Tyler even provided us with a (very) thorough script to ensure that we captured every moment of the wedding (this was a huge relief!). We had a very small wedding and Tyler helped us curate a great resume of songs for display on the sax, piano, and DJ/Emcee. By the end of the night, one of our guests even asked Tyler (directly) if he would continue performing for an offsite afterparty! Highly recommend and can't wait to reach out to him in the future for other events! Thanks for everything, Tyler!
Words really cannot describe how much we love Tyler! He was by far the best part of our reception. Not only is he extremely talented, he is also an amazing human! He even put together a special recorded performance for our anniversary. Thank ...
you so much for everything and being a part of our special day. Love always, Maancy and Sachin

I can not wait to work with Tyler Varnell again.

Tyler rocks!!!
One word to describe Tyler: INCREDIBLE!
From our very first conversation Tyler was a pleasure to work with. He made the whole process so easy for us, and helped us to navigate things and timing that we had not even thought abo...
ut, which made everything stress free.
His musical talent is amazing, from elegant piano for our ceremony, to jaw dropping saxophone and rocking our dance party with his DJ set!
Tyler's performance throughout the night blew our guests away. So many compliments were made about Tyler.
I will say we had one little issue arise between the venue changing times on us, and it was going to be difficult for Tyler to set up everything in time. But Tyler took our hiccup and rolled with it and made the best of a tough situation.
Professionalism, courtesy, and mind blowing talent are some great ways to describe our experience, which truly made our day special!
Thank you Tyler!
Tyler was an absolute hit! Everyone loved his live music at the ceremony and he was fantastic at our reception. I wish we could hang out with him all the time! He is truly talented! Tyler is professional, assures your wants and needs are heard,...

ed as an extension of tyler and he knows it soo well as if its part of his body. He stayed longer than he should’ve, probably cuz he enjoyed our company 😂 and cuz he cares about the overall feel of the event. Our wedding was elevated from classy to magnificent because of his touch. So many people thought that the sax was just an elegant element to the overall feel. Amazing Tyler.

as I heard him play I KNEW I had to have him play at my wedding! And sure enough, 1 year later, my wedding rolls around and I reach out to Tyler. He is the kindest most professional talented musician you’ll ever meet. He made our entertainment at our wedding! You can tell he has been working his magic for a very long time, his dedication to his skill is certainly obvious. And let me add, one thing I truly appreciate and am so grateful for is Tyler’s flexibility. Due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding twice and not once did Tyler ever question or give me a hard time about it. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Tyler, you are truly amazing at your skill and you truly are an amazing person too!
Tyler recently played the saxophone at our wedding ceremony. He is very talented and an amazing saxophone player! We did not tell anyone he was going to play at our wedding, so it was a total surprise when our guests arrived, and they were all...

Tyler was exceptional to work with!
It was such a pleasure working with Tyler. I was nervous when it came to booking the music for my wedding because the music makes the party, and I wanted everyone to have a great time. I knew Tyler was the right person to book once we got don...
e with our initial call. He was very helpful and accommodating, and you could tell he had lots of experience. I had Tyler lead the ceremony, cocktail hour and customize my first dance song. Needless to say he was a hit. Everyone fell in love with him. Till this day when people talk about my wedding they talk about how good the saxophone player was. I am so happy that I got the opportunity to get to work with him.

The best!!!! A MUST book!!!
I recently worked with Tyler on a mutual client's wedding for which I was coordinating. The client had many wonderful ideas and many moving elements in regards to the music that would be playing that evening. Not only did Tyler's performances l...
eave us all in awe of his talents but what was most important to me as the lead coordinator for the client's entire event was his professionalism, his knowledge, and most importantly - his communication! As a coordinator, communication is key to running a smooth event and between the desires of the client and the reality of possibilities, Tyler and I were able to communicate what needed to be done to make things happen.
I look forward to referring Tyler's talent to my clients!
We highly recommend having an element of live music at your wedding and Tyler is the perfect guy for the job. Tyler let us be as involved as we wanted to be and was able to pick up our vibe and improvise on a set list that fit our style. Everyb...
ody loved him at the wedding and had nothing but nice things to say. We even had multiple guests ask for his information to hire him for future events. He was very involved with phone calls and was accountable on the day of our wedding. We didn't have to tell him much, he automatically knew where to go and what to do and so forth. During our wedding ceremony, there was such a level of depth that was brought and the guests had so much fun and were very entertained. Thank you so much Tyler for the amazing energy you brought to our wedding and for making it such an unforgettable day.
My husband and I dreamed of having a saxophone at our wedding ever since we talked about our first dance being “Strip it down” by Luke Bryan, We just never knew it would actually be possible! We contacted so many different vendors but none of t...
hem had the style and sound we were looking for our wedding. We almost gave up until after much searching we discovered Tyler and his lovely YouTube videos. I almost cried when we found him! I messaged him and instantly received a response and we set up a time to talk. Tyler was so easy going and opened to anything my husband and I asked about, from the style in music to the timeline and to even learning the song we so desired to have our first dance to! Tyler was very professional and easy to reach when ever it was that we had any questions or changes in our 200 guest timeline. The day of our wedding came and it was right out of a fairytale. I mean this when I say it, without Tyler at our wedding it would not have been what it was that day. He was the cherry on top! We received soooo many compliments and everyone loved him! All my little nieces couldn’t stop staring at him, they were in awe at how amazing he was. I recommend Tyler to anyone who loves a good time and loves compliments! Thank you Tyler, you made our wedding day PERFECT!
Tyler was perfect! Perfect in every way. Professional, organized & responsive. We hired him to play piano and sax at our wedding, he made everyone cry at the ceremony with his amazing piano entrances and got everyone grooving during cocktail ho...
ur with his amazing sax covers of oldies, and new unexpected pop songs. I can’t recommend him enough! Planning a wedding is incredibly stressful, and vendors like Tyler are absolute life savers!!! Ten stars!
Tyler was absolutely amazing! He played the saxophone at our wedding in May - pre ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour and we still get so many compliments from our guests on how incredible Tyler was.
Tyler really made our wedding more fun and special. So many guests commented on how great he was. His performances were top notch. From a behind the scenes perspective, Tyler was able to go with the flow and make little changes on the fly to ke...
ep the atmosphere alive and energetic. Put those two things together and you can't go wrong, plus he was professional and on top of things throughout the entire process.
I can’t rave about Tyler enough! He was totally the hit of our wedding! From the beginning, Tyler was very professional and personable. You can tell he loves what he does and put 150% effort into making our day perfect! He even learned a few ne...
w songs just to fit with our song selection. We had so many people complimenting us about our “sax man,” even the catering staff! Tyler truly went above and beyond to make sure we, and our guests, had an amazing night. I cannot recommend Tyler more. We’ve already had 2 guests ask us for his contact info for an upcoming wedding and even a holiday party! Tyler, thank you so much for making our wedding day just perfect!
I'm not sure if you can find a guy to jazz up (no pun intended) your wedding or party any more than this guy right here. To this day (3 months after our wedding), I am still getting compliments about the small details of our wedding, but the mo...
st popular compliment I've received has been about our saxophone player, Tyler. He blew our crowd away with his talent during both our cocktail hour and then again during the reception. We hired a friend who DJ'd along side Tyler and their chemistry was seamless which made it very easy. He was great communicating with us the whole time, making sure he was on the same page with which vibe we wanted throughout certain parts of the night. He played everything from old school to new school and even ended with a song we requested him to learn days leading up to the event.
This guy is beyond talented and we will forever be grateful that we found him and hired him for our big day. He truly made it one to remember.
Hi, groom here, just got back from my honeymoon after our wedding a month ago.
My wife and I still can’t stop talking about how much we love Tyler, and neither can our guests. We feel so lucky that he was available for our special day, I can’...
t imagine it feeling more special or hiring anyone else for any event I ever do.
He is an incredible musician who is doing something he loves so his passion can be his work— you can really tell that he loves every moment. Tyler played saxophone during the cocktail hour and some of the important dances and piano for the aisle walks and the father-daughter dance, as well as DJing the party portion. If that wasn’t amazing enough, he would occasionally whip out the saxophone during the party, song permitting, and played along with the song on the dance floor. Absolutely breathtaking and just so cool!
I’m originally from Israel and sent a song to Tyler that is from my country and is about 30 years old, and told him that I’m not expecting anything but if this can somehow be played during the dance with my mom(I’m the groom) it would be incredible. Tyler began the song and, a couple verses in, came in with the saxophone solo and I just completely lost it. Beyond beautiful, words can’t do that moment justice. The effort that Tyler put in to make sure this day was perfect is something I can’t overstate. From the tremendous musical skill and intuition, to the customization, to the personal care for our wishes and flawless MCing of our wedding, Tyler Varnell is a absolute no-brainer. If he’s unavailable, delay your wedding to a day he is. Trust me.
Tyler is amazing!! He played during our ceremony and it was perfect! He works with you before to find the right song and is just so classy and fun before, during and after the whole experience. Highly recommend!!!

er and it was set. Right from the jump he was able to get a feel of our style and help us decide on a set list for the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception. We even hit him up with some songs/artists requests not on his playlist, and he killed it during the reception/dance hours. Tyler did a collab with our DJ and had the crowd HYPED!

ds it was the only thing anyone could talk about. Other events that he has played at include weddings and regular gigs. Each time, Tyler was not only professional and provided excellent quality, but he was the catalyst for people to have a good time.

and prepared an amazing arrangement of "la vie en rose" for their first dance. If I could do my wedding over again I would definitely hire him. He creates an atmosphere like no other - if you want beautiful ceremony music, tearful father daughter dances, or unforgettable reception dance parties Tyler does it all at a serious pro level.
Tyler was incredible! He was, hands down, my favorite part of our ceremony! The guests raved about him. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and so talented. He’s a brilliant musician and a great human being!

ome that was. We had a Chinese & American wedding at a winery & know both loved it and we’re taking videos of him all night. It truly would not have been the same without Tyler there.
When I communicated with him when I was planning my wedding, you can tell how much thought he puts into his gigs. He played all the songs we requested and set the scene I wanted. He even communicated with my dj to make sure all the equipment was compatible. Thank you so much Tyler!best money spent
My husband loves Jazz so the moment he found Tyler, we booked him right away. He was very professional and always on time. Our guests loved Tyler and enjoyed his selection of music that night. He can also play piano which he performed at our h...

We wanted something that would ...
get the party started right off from the ceremony to the cocktail hour. Can’t tell you how many people commented on how amazing it was to have Tyler playing saxophone.
Tyler played keyboard during our ceremony. I am getting chills just thinking about it now, but the moment I heard him playing just before I walked down the aisle, the emotion of the day hit me like a wave. From our quick ceremony and onto the cocktail hour Tyler’s playing brought life to our guests and to us.
Tyler was excellent at communicating both with myself, our DJ and our planner. He was so organized and thoughtful with our day!
I don’t think I could thank him enough times. It was more than we could have ever imagined. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tyler!!

Whatever you want, he will deliver!
Tyler was Amazing!! He made our Wedding absolutely PERFECT. I would highly recommend him.
