Brought a Beautiful Element to our already special day

Richie Brought a Beautiful Element to our already special day. He was courteous and polite and got straight into it. The all the guest loved his vibe and he got a huge round of appaluse at dinner for his solo during one of the songs. It was magical and would recommend Richie all the way.

The party starter!

What a guy, what a performance! Richie did a fantastic job at bringing the vibe to my wedding last week. He has people up and dancing over the wedding breakfast - and the party didn't stop either. Couldn't have imagined my wedding without Richie. I thought a sax was a ' nice little added touch', but Richie became a major part of the day's highlights!

A great addition to our drinks reception!

We were looking at entertainment for our drinks reception when we came across Richie, we thought a Saxophonist would be the perfect addition and we were absolutely correct. Richie was an incredible addition to our day and all of our guests were asking how we found him. He kept our guests thoroughly entertained during our group photos! We would heavily recommend him to anyone!

Great saxophonist for wedding

We had Richie play during the drinks reception at our wedding in June. He got to the venue early to set up as was ready as soon as we came out of the ceremony. He played some great, classic tunes which gave the drinks reception a really lovely, fun feel! Richie was a pleasure to deal with and we'd definitely recommend him!

I would recommend him to add that extra special touch to your day.

Thank you, Richie.
