A must have at our wedding... we had several cool features but Kristen is the extra that everyone is raving about. In addition to ripppping up the dance floor alongside the DJ, kristen was dancing, chatting with people, taking my parents requests to roam the patio for the people not on the dancefloor. They were extremely talented and wonderful to have alongside us. 12/10 recomend. My dad said he wish she couldve stayed the entire night. All ages loved it. IF YOURE THINKING ABOUT IT, DEFINITELY SCHEDULE KRISTEN!!

I saw Kristen play for my friends baby shower and loved the music so much! I hired Kristen to play for my micro wedding and the live saxophone was a whole vibe. Kristen played the songs we asked for and it was so romantic and everything we wanted!
I would 100% hire Kristen again. Communication was great and it was very easy to book Kristen.

Right from the start she was very kind, organised and patient as we were still running around to finish set up. She had attendees dancing to her music and played songs relevant when I gave her a general idea and left it to her discretion. It was great working with her and immediately after I was asked for her contact info from one of our stakeholders who attended as well. A key note is that this event had many officials and required you to carry yourself a certain way, be respectfully, music at a certain level etc. and she was perfect.
Smooth sax player, she played wonderfully!

What to Expect
I can perform in a variety of settings, from background music to set the mood to dynamic feature performances. I can provide PA/speakers, for small gatherings or large celebrations, including a microphone for speeches if needed. I have the option of running fully battery powered equipment, for outdoor events, or spaces where access to power is limited (depending on the size and duration of the event).
I look forward to working with you on your next event!
