Kenny set the prefect mood for our wedding. We had tons of comments on how great the music was. From processional to recessional and perfect quiet elegance for the reception.
Saxophone Player
Kenny was the cherry on top at our wedding. We booked him at the last minute, and he absolutely brought the evening to an entirely different level. He was fun, professional, and an absolute killer on the sax. I've never seen a more talented saxophonist in person. He freestyled solos to all of the music that the DJ was playing and even hit a shirtless solo while crowd-surfing on the dance floor. 100% recommendation - no strings attached. Kenny is the man and I guarantee you won't regret booking him.

Kenny was a sensational saxophone player. He conducted himself professionally, was flexible and overly accommodating, and fit the vibe of the event perfectly. I’d highly recommend Kenny for any size event.

Kenny Fong is a true master of his craft, and I am beyond grateful to have had him play at my wedding. His saxophone performance was nothing short of magical, and it added such a beautiful and emotional touch to our day. Kenny's talent is unmatched, and his passion for music shines through every note he plays. I can't recommend him enough for any event where you want to create a truly memorable and moving experience. All the wedding guest still talks about how amazing & fun it was to have him play at our wedding! Thank you, Kenny, for sharing your extraordinary gift with us and making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Kenny is a professional all around! From his musicianship, to his communication, we were very confident going into our wedding. He asked us for song requests well ahead of time, and connected to the rest of our team seamlessly to get A/V set up. We got so many compliments from our guests about Kenny. We recommend him 100%!

Kenny played saxophone for our wedding cocktail hour and reception. He was incredible and really helped make our big day even more special. He is extremely talented, very professional, and has a ton of charisma.

I can say Kenny is an amazing saxophonist. He played two hours in my wedding reception and the environment listening the music was fantastic. When we contacted him, he resolved all our questions, great communication. He has a plenty list of songs to play with. Definitely, I recommend him.

Kenny played at our first annual Salt City Wine & Dine. As VIP guests entered they instantly felt the party vibe with Kenny. We had so many compliments about him and his great energy. I’ve seen Kenny play multiple times and he always has enthusiasm about what he does. Definitely recommend him to anyone.

Kenny arrived early enough that he was able to set up all his gear with no particular rush. He was extremely pleasant to work with, and very organized. Even in the months leading up to our wedding, we communicated frequently and Kenny was extremely flexible with our requests. We wanted a full hour of just jazz songs, and at the time his repertoire did not necessarily include 60 min worth of jazz music. However, he made it a point to expand his repertoire, asking for what songs we had in mind and then learning what he could, and when the big day came he delivered a wonderful performance! We were SO extremely satisfied with his stage presence, and so many guests came up to us during the reception to comment on how the live saxophone-playing completely changed the vibe of the wedding for the better. We would HIGHLY recommend Kenny to ANYONE ANYWHERE!

Thank you Krystal! I had a great time performing your wedding, thank you for being so easy to work with too!
It was the perfect addition for our daughters wedding reception. Kenny is so good and we really enjoyed his mix of music.

Worth it! Kenny wrote covers of our favorite songs for the ceremony and cocktail hour that were more beautiful than the originals. He arrived early on the day of to make sure our venue had all of the necessary equipment which helped alleviate our wedding stress. Kenny elevated our wedding from beginning to end by providing entertainment and an energy could not be matched by a DJ. Our guests still talk about Kenny and the band he provided for our special day. We are so happy with the services he provided.

We needed a side stage act for changeovers at a music festival setting. Instead of my usual guitar/vocal call, I tried Kenny Fong’s one man band Saxophone with backing tracks. The crowd really liked the change, and responded to Mr Smooth. We did it over several changeovers and it went really well. Kenny Fong was great to work with and completely reliable. A really great act.

Kenny was professional with our guests and leadership team. He is talented and brought a classic elegant atmosphere to the event. Kenny played up-to-date music that was recognizable but also added his own flare, the whole event felt more elevated with his music.
Kenny brought his own equipment and was able to connect to our sound system, making an effortless experience from beginning to end.
Highly recommended to bring an elevated experience to any event.
Thank you.

Kenny has preformed for our guests and homeowners numerous times this winter season. We love having him on property. He is timely, professional and a crowd pleaser. He is frequently requested from our community and we look forward to having him back many more times! Thank you Kenny!

Thank you Sarah!! And thank you again for having me perform!
We had Kenny perform at our wedding and he was everything we wanted and more. He was accommodating to all our music request whether it was new pop music or even oldies. He was a hit with our young crowd and even the older crowd. What Kenny can do with a sax is out of this world. His solos hype up everyone and by the end of the night all the friends and family were asking for his business card. Very professional yet is easy going and fun to work with. Without a doubt, I would recommend again and again.

Set List
A typical setlist for me, with the aim to have "something for everyone" in a cocktail hour/dinner set will often include a few jazz standards, some soul and Motown standards (ie. Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keyes, and Al Green), mixed with modern romantic songs (ie. jvke, Daniel Cesar, and Sam Smith), throw in some Norah Jones and Chris Stapleton's, "Tennessee Whiskey" and everyone will find a tune they enjoy.
For DJ sets I'm able to riff over any tune, any key, any tempo, I let the DJ set the tone and I help to elevate the energy!
Influences & Inspiration
My biggest influences on the saxophone are Lenny Pickett, Eric Marienthal, and Michael Brecker, and am also a big fan of contemporary saxophonists such as Kenny G, Dave Koz, and Gerald Albright. For my solo act, I aim for easy listening, mellow vibes for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and dinners, while for receptions with bands and DJs, I aim to bring high energy to elevate the atmosphere.
Setup Requirements
