September 26, 2024Spectacular wedding day entertainer
If you had a 10 star rating that wouldn’t even cover this man’s talent. Saxy rob is a true professional with charm, charisma and showmanship. Not only is he a great musician and singer , he orchestrates his entertainment to capture the whole crowd. He really knows how to work the entire room and make everyone happy-especially the bride and groom. Can’t wait for our next event

October 13, 2026Wonderful musician
At the last minute my daughter wanted a sax player for her wedding. Luckily Saxxy rob was available and he was absolutely wonderful! He played just for the appetizer hour and then for the first dances and bridal party entrance. Saxxy Rob was really great at “reading the room” and knew when to entertain and when to let the moment shine on the bride and groom. Many of the guests came up to me to say how wonderful he was! I highly recommend Saxxy Rob…thanks for making the day even more special for the bride and groom!

We celebrated our 10 years as an organization and we couldn't of done it without Saxy Rob! This was the 4th year that we've been blessed to have him part of our gala. He always brings a special excitement to the room and he did not disappoint this year! Thank you for helping us celebrate and make our efforts to raise money and share our mission so incredibly special!
