Best ever, both musically and professionally. Nikita was always so quick to respond and everything went so seamlessly. We all loved his performance so much and he really got the dance floor going. I will forever cherish my memories with Nikita performing with all our loved ones (at my wedding).

I hired Nikita for my birthday party, along with other performances and wow... Nikita was the BEST! All of the guests danced around and enjoyed it.
This is going to be a standard and will be hiring Nikita for every event/party I host. He completely changed the atmosphere and everyone loved it.
Nikita was extremely professional to work with as he was very responsive, flexible and timely. He was open to creating a set list exactly to our needs and really brought the energy to our dance floor. All of our guests were raving about his performance. I would highly recommend Nikita for any wedding or party event if you are looking for something super entertaining and a little bit different than just a DJ or band.

Niki was right on point with his performances. Very professional and adjustable, also polite it was just magical thank you 😊. Keep up the great work, I highly recommend him.
Saxophone Player
Nikita as I'm proud to say stole the show at our Reception 3 months ago. He perfectly suited to the vibes of our wedding reception and most of our guests were impressed by his talent. He showed up on time, listened and accomodated our requests. He was supposed to play during the start of the dance floor, but our wedding coordinator could not allow this request, which was a shame. However, Nikita was very understanding. I would fully endorse Nikita as a saxophone player for any event!

The event was an engagement party and having Nikita play at the event was a gift to all. His talent is immense and admirable and his attitude and demeanor are truly amazing. I had a lot of guests ask me how I found him and compliment him. I would not hesitate to recommend Nikita for anyone looking for a truly talented Saxophonist!

Nikita was an absolute delight to work with!! He was very engaging in our communications and lead up to the event! He was collaborative with our hired DJ to make my husbands birthday brunch incredible! Our family and friends were really happy and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!! Nikita is able to improv and adapt to all genres of music and crowd type. I especially enjoyed his special touch with the light effects around his sax!!! HIghly highly recommend!!
Saxophone Player
Thank you so much Nikita! He was incredibly professional and talented. He came early to set up and everyone enjoyed his performance. He made our gathering memorable and I definitely recommend him!

I booked Nikita last minute for our 10 year anniversary and he was very flexible and accommodating for the intricate logistics and surprise for my wife. He was also able to learn a new song in a very short timeframe.
But the main part was how beautiful he played and how that really made our day. The best! The songs are still playing in my head right now a day after. Really was the grand finale of a great day. Thanks Nikita!
Nikita was absolutely amazing!
From the start to the end, he was professional, on time, courteous, and responsive.
Aside from the above he is a very talented saxophonist and his presence at our event was just PERFECT!
I highly recommend him for any events, including corporate.

Saxophone Player
Nick did a wonderful job of providing music for our wedding ceremony. He worked with us to choose songs and created a lovely atmosphere for the wedding.
Saxophone Player
Nikita was fantastic. Played for about 5 hours at our wedding. The guests loved it. He plays to the crowd, and gets in the middle of the action all while playing very very well, really cool. He’s also very easy to work with, not only planning the playlist but also creating custom clips according to our needs. Class act, reasonably priced, and very talented. High recommended.
Saxophone Player
Nick was absolutely everything we could have asked for and more. My guests were soooo impressed with his performance and loved his fancy light up sax. He interacted with everyone and played great music, and was extremely talented. Plus the ladies loved him too lol.
Saxophone Player

Response from Saxophonist Nikita Naymushin:
Thank you, Elise. It was a pleasure working with you!
I booked Nick for my 18 year old son' birthday party. Nick arrived 15 minutes earlier to have enough time to change and set up his equipment. He started exactly at agreed time. Nick plays sax superbly. He has a wide range - from memorable soulful tunes to contemporary pop to jazz. Nick feels audience very well - he tailored his repertoire to make it fun for everyone. He managed do please and ignite very diverse group of people. I did not have to make any suggestion. Everything went so smoothly - all of us were thrilled to have him.
I highly recommend Nick. He is an outstanding sax player and a very sweet, respectful and engaging person.
Saxophone Player
Though I am more into electronics, I made my mind to call Nick to play for us: many friends of mine are fans of live funk. As a result, we have all had a good time. Good luck to you, Nick, you can make any bender a thrilling one!
Saxophone Player
It often happens that parties turn out a total disaster. Unfortunately, I’ve had a couple of such experiences before so I was quite nervous awaiting for my parents’ Anniversary to come. I wanted to cheer up parents, our closest relatives and family friends with a surprise musical show. So I invited Nick to perform some old jazzy tunes at the event. Though we had spent quite a bit of time on selecting tracks, till the very last moment I wasn’t sure if they would satisfy everyone’s tastes.
But in the end, it was a win! So many people came to me and thanked me for the musical program after the Anniversary. And above all, my parents were really glad. Thank you, Nick, from all of us!
Best wishes,
Daisy.

For our wedding I chose 30 minutes of saxophone music at the wedding reception and also 2 tracks for the bride’s dance with her husband and father. The entire performance was worth the price. I don’t regret a penny payed for the accompaniment. Thank you, Nick!
Cover Band, Woodwind Musician, Saxophone Player
I’d love to share my impressions till they haven’t faded away over time… What a wonderful evening it was. Of course, I knew that something special was on its way for me as our Anniversary was upcoming.
But what I couldn’t expect at all was the dazzling atmosphere of a celebration that Nick managed to create for us. As this musical gift was a surprise I bore no expectations. But if I had had any, they would definitely be surpassed! I bow down to you.
Saxophone Player
Nick, many thanks for your gig at my birthday party! It was excellent music performance that made us happy! I wish you to go on cheering people up with your skill and drive.
Woodwind Musician, Saxophone Player
Nick, thank you for playing at my wedding on 10 August, 2018. My wife and I, and, above all, our guests, have liked it all like crazy. The decent sound blended seamlessly into the overall atmosphere of the day. Good luck in your future endeavors and projects. Thanks a million again!

Preciseness and punctuality are among typical features of this gifted person. Thanks for the job.

Sir Nick York played at my birthday celebration on 07.21.18 it was a roaring 20’s theme party. Everything was perfection point blank period start to Finish!
Saxophone Player
Thank you for your impeccable play on our wedding. Through Nikita’s playing on the sax our guests immersed themselves in emotional performance and immaculate taste. Significantly, he is also quite punctual and mindful. One can truly rely on such a musician and commit to him an important mission of playing at their event. Thank you for your competence!
Woodwind Musician, Saxophone Player
Nick has performed at our wedding and, of course, has won all the hearts! The guests were heartily dancing to the sound of the saxophone, it was very romantic! We were enjoying each tune, and, to top it all, Nick was paying attention to every table. That stroke a chord of every single guest! I wish Nick success and prosperity.
