Michael made a special holiday moment in time with my family playing Christmas music poolside on the lanai.. ❤️
Michael was great! He played really good and he is very professional and reliable I highly recommend him.
We were very pleased with having chosen Michael as the saxophonist for our wedding day in Sanibel. He was very fast to respond & provided us with a long variety of songs beforehand for us to chose what we wanted him to play for both pre-ceremony & post ceremony. Due to bad weather (Venue was 100% outside) we moved our wedding from 5pm to 11am just the night before & Michael had no problems accommodating to our request. We were lucky to work amazing vendors & he was definitely one of them!
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
I am so glad that I was able to start earlier than you had originally planned. The weather and the beach setting were perfect. Thank you so much for making me a part of your special day. CONGRATULATIONS!
My parents’ anniversary was this concert. They loved it.
Thanks so much.
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Thank you!
You don't often get a chance to play music for a couple who has been married for 69 years. I am really thrilled that they enjoyed the music.
If we could give him more starts we would!!! Michael, did and amazing performance!!! there is not words to describe how incredible he was.
Michael is The Best.....what a pleasure working with a real professional. Communication was great, he offered his assistant and experience in order to help us to choose and pick what we want. He was on time and his performance was just outstanding. Everybody loved him. We all could feel the joy he has playing music and entertaining people.
This is not going to be the last time we will hire him and we we recommend him anytime without hesitation.
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
I can't thank you enough for your review.
You made me feel at home at your event. You could not have been more helpful in making sure that I had everything that I needed to set up and play music. Thank you for your hospitality.
I am looking forward to working with you again!
Having Michael play at our event for the second year in a row was a pleasure, he is so good and so nice to work with, you won’t be disappointed!
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Thank you, Nicole! The pleasure was mine. The attendees, the staff, and even the weather could not have been more delightful!
IT was a wonderfull evening with Michael.
His saxophone play was excellent.
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Joerg made me so feel so welcome, that I felt like a guest at his birthday party. A good time was had by all!
Michael did an amazing job, and he is such a gentleman. His music and his demeanor was just perfect for our cocktail reception.
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Thank you! It was an honor and a pleasure to perform for the MS Center of Southwest Florida.
What a fantastic organization!
Michael played saxophone during our wedding cocktail hour. Our guests raved over him! He is an incredibly talented musician and a kind man. He was prompt in responding to my messages and was professional during our exchanges, as well as throughout the event. He saw that our bridal party was still taking photos a little past our cocktail hour and continued to play past the time we paid him for until pictures were finished. Hiring Michael was one of our best and favorite decisions we made for our wedding day! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone and would hire him again for live music entertainment at other planned events. Thanks for everything, Michael! You were truly awesome!
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Jessica, you're making me blush!

Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
Thank you, Phil. I really enjoyed playing for your club. Happy driving to all!!!
Michael was very professional & sounded amazing for our holiday party entrance performance! All the members at our private club were very impressed and he was a pleasure to work with! I will definitely be keeping him in mind for future events!
Thank you Michael!
Sincerely,
Nicole Rose

All of the thumbs-up and smiles really made my night enjoyable. Thank you so much, Nicole, for having me at your holiday celebration!
5th Avenue Sax did a great job at my wedding May 19. I requested the song “Endless Love” and he played it beautifully. Thanks again
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
There was a real feeling of love at Karlene and Mikel’s wedding. The bride and groom were glowing, and the attendees showed love and respect for the bride and groom and for each other. It was an inspiration!
Michael made our party complete with his fabulous voice and talent on the piano and sax. He had everyone on their feet dancing.
Response from 5th Avenue Sax:
What an honor it was to be a part of such a perfectly planned party! Thank you!
It was a great experience. Punctual in setting up and was playing on time. My guest enjoyed listening to the saxophone playing before they walked into the venue. I would definitely recommend to others. Great experience and great performer.
