Thank you so much Wayne and Shay! Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day! May God richly bless you both for many many years to come!
Before we even stepped out for the ceremony, the sound of your saxophone gracefully piercing through the walls lit up our hearts and spirits. It was as if the music itself was setting the perfect tone for the joy to come. My mother said it best: 'Nate was ALL THAT!' Thank you for bringing our dream to life with your exceptional talent, and for going above and beyond by learning the bride’s special song. Your performance was unforgettable and truly made our day one to treasure forever.

Thank you Mary! It was an honor to be part of your Birthday Celebration. Until the next event, blessings!
I’m a bit of an unorthodox emcee, and I can certainly see a professional. He’s the guy everyone wants a card from during and after. He’s the guy that doesn’t need help setting up. He’s the guy that brought a certain level of intimacy to a part of 50 and still had us turnt up. He’s a vibe! And was PERFECT for my veteran fathers 70th birthday event, who LOVES JAZZ & Louis Armstrong.10out of10

Thank you so much Sonya! I had a fun time with your family! Thank you for hiring me to be a part of your birthday celebration!
Hi Nate. Brett and I want to thank you for making our party so fun. We really enjoyed meeting T Who added an extra element of suave and sweetness to the event. Your musical talent and ability to finesse volume, repertoire and mood is impressive. Everyone loved the music and it really bolstered the event especially on a potentially disappointing rainy night. T is lovely and was extremely sensitive to the vibe of the event, adding to the evening with her shining aura. Brett just told me that you and she just celebrated your wedding anniversary. So congratulations to you two!
We will highly recommend you whenever possible and we will certainly hire you again for our next party. Thank you again and please thank T for us too

Thank you so much Asia! I had a great time and look forward to playing for you and your guest again.
Nate was very personable from the moment I booked him I knew I'd made the right choice
He was very professional and stayed in contact
His attire was perfect for my wedding ...he had asked what the dress code was prior
My wedding was outside and it was unseasonably chilly for Orlando that day ..it had rained all day the day before
Nate was committed to being there , he simply said we needed to keep the equipment from getting wet, he was in it for the long haul
His talent is exceptional
I chose an entrance song he had not played so he took the iniative to learn the song
All around he goes above and beyond. I'm looking forward to hiring him again very soon

Thank you so much Latonya, It was a pleasure being a part of your event, and I look forward to playing again.
Nate did a great job for us yesterday at a corporate event. He played the perfect background music (ie, not overbearing) to make our event upbeat and fun. He's a great communicator leading up to the event. . . especially waiting out the extended time it took for us to finally confirm and get payment processed. My only critique would be his apparel. While the event leaned more casual and admittedly I didn't discuss apparel with him beforehand, he arrived in short pants. For a corporate type function, this wasn't really appropriate. But overall, this is minor and didn't distract from the event. Overall, a nice, talented guy who I would definitely recommend to others.

I feel I have been given a gift to play music that is uplifting, relaxing, smooth, soothing, and passionate. Feel the experience when I play 4 U!
About
Who is Nate West? He is a worshipper, musician, songwriter, composer, Husband, father and devoted friend.
Coming from a musical family, Nate West exemplifies the meaning of his name, gift of God. Nate's Saxophone voice has developed over the years into a desirably rich, earthy and robust sound. His unique musical style and tone have evolved from listening to mentors such as that of Grover Washington Jr, David Sanborn, Gerald Albright, Kirk Whalum, Everette Harp, and many others. His Gospel roots are most likely why you will hear a lot of soulful expressions in his playing. He’s telling a story about how good God is.
Some would say his sax sounds as if he singing words as opposed to just playing notes and melodies. You won’t hear a lot of flashy, fast saxophone technique as you sometimes hear from some modern- day saxophonist. But, what you will hear are very selective, expressive notes that say something to your spirit, soul, & body. Nate says he wants his listeners to experience the emotions he’s feeling at any given moment. Nate showcases his God-given talents on and off the stage, which he has auspiciously shared the stage with Najee, Fred Hammond and the Father of Gospel Jazz, Ben Tankard to name a few.
Book Nate Plays Sax 4 You for your next event to experience an atmosphere full of life, peace, and Joy!
Additional Booking Notes
All I need is one outlet, a small area 5' x 5' for me, at least 2 saxophones, and my Bose L1 PA System.
