Rob played for our Rehearsal Dinner/welcome reception. He was by far the highlight of the night. He is such a talented musician and does great interacting with the crowd and adapting his set list to match the energy of the evening. My guests have not stopped talking about how much they loved “the saxophone player!”

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of your grand celebration, all the best wishes to you and your families!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Rob is not only a super sweet, fun & down to earth human being, but he is an incredibly talented saxophone player, & entertainer. If you’re looking to add a fun & memorable touch to any event, look no further. Everyone adored him! He was the highlight of the entire night, & we are so lucky to have had him play at our wedding! I cannot thank him enough. He delivered above & beyond what we ever imagined.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to have been a part of your grand celebration, it was an absolute pleasure. Wishing your family all the best wishes on the future journey.
My wife booked Saxy Rob because she saw him play at another wedding. Little did she know, Saxy Rob was from Canton, Ohio, the same area where I’m from! Saxy Rob had no issue traveling out to Pittsburgh to play for our big day. He gave us recommendations on DJs too (which we highly recommend DJ Jerry as well). We had Saxy Rob perform throughout the course of the whole wedding reception and it was phenomenal. So good that people were getting his business card afterwards to perform at future events. Saxy Rob made our night, he made everyone’s night. I cannot think of anyone else I would rather have had okay at our wedding. Thank you for your performance and for making the night so special!

Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to be a part of your beautiful celebration, we wish you all the best.
This is the 3rd year he has been part of our gala and it's just gets better and better! He is truly a hit to have at our event and we are so thankful!!
Rob is a genuine professional.
His performance at our fundraising event was attended by 300 people supporting our cause. Rob has an admirable ability to read the audience and perform accordingly. His performance can relate to all ages and genre of music.
His vocal skills are equally as strong as his ability in playing the saxophone.
Many compliments were received by those who were in attendance. Would not hesitate to have SaxyRob at our future fundraising events.
If you had a 10 star rating that wouldn’t even cover this man’s talent. Saxy rob is a true professional with charm, charisma and showmanship. Not only is he a great musician and singer , he orchestrates his entertainment to capture the whole crowd. He really knows how to work the entire room and make everyone happy-especially the bride and groom. Can’t wait for our next event

From the moment I first saw Saxy Rob perform back in 2009, I dreamed of having him play at my wedding. When my fiancé and I got engaged in October 2022, I was thrilled to take charge of organizing our entertainment and immediately booked him. I opted for the most comprehensive package, including travel and performance time, eager to have him play during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and start of the reception.
However, the experience didn't live up to my expectations. Despite several attempts to coordinate, there was no pre-wedding meeting or communication regarding my vision for the event. On the day itself, I only realized Saxy Rob had arrived when my coordinator mentioned needing to arrange his room, as he couldn't check in.
Saxy failed to play at all during my ceremony at all. Which was really disappointing. He did play during the cocktail hour, which I was not there to witness, but guest did mention that he played well and they really enjoyed him. The first time I seen him was during the dinner, which he played very minimal.
Saxy did perform a dedication to my wife and I was which was awesome, and that was the energy I was anticipation and expected throughout the whole night. After the dedication is when the dance floor opened up, and Saxy played intermittently throughout the reception. Which would be find if that was what we wanted, but it was kinda of awkward listening to "Get Low" by Lil Jon with riffs of saxophone in the background.
Overall I was pretty disappointed on how everything happened. My wife and I was really wishing for a better experience, especially the amount we paid, and we think it all could have worked out if there was a little better communication on the vendors side.

Response from SaxyRob Experience:
Marshall, we would like to apologize for your feelings towards our services for your wedding celebration. We work extremely hard to ensure that all of our events and expectations are met and typically exceeded.
We went back through all of our correspondence in regards to your event and we never discussed having Saxy Rob perform for your ceremony itself. Your initial inquiry was noted that you wanted Saxy Rob to perform during cocktail hour, dinner and the beginning of the party. Typically, if we are performing for ceremonies we have a complete planning meeting with our clients to ensure all music and times understood.
With the package you chose the ceremony was not included.
Cocktail hour is when we truly try and create a vibe for our clients and make cocktail hour exciting. Unfortunately most brides and grooms are not at cocktail hour and don’t get to see that. When it comes to dinner we typically aren’t as involved as much due to the nature of a saxophone being much louder and sometimes unwelcomed so we don’t play quite as much. When it comes to the party portion we typically ad-lib playing during the party to add hype to the party which is typically welcomed and encouraged by all of our clients.
Again we apologize for the miscommunication in regards to your ceremony but we are still trying to find what the disconnect is when you were wanting Saxy Rob to play during the cocktail, dinner and party but then you are upset that he performed during the party. Also again we try to exceed expectations and Saxy Rob even performed more than an extra hour at no charge to you and your fiancé to ensure you had the most amazing time possible!
We truly appreciate the opportunity and we wish you and your new spouse the absolute best!
Rob did a fantastic job and wowed the audience.

We have waited 5 years to have Saxy Rob as our entertainment for our Be the Change Gala. We had the privilege of seeing him put on the best performance this past Friday. It was so worth the wait and everyone enjoyed him. He was also very easy to work with and exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to have him back, hopefully next year!

We saw him perform at a lobster fest in Hudson last summer and I knew I wanted him at to perform at my wedding along with DJ Jerry Humes. You will not regret the money spent!!!!!

Wow! Wow! Wow!
A few years ago, my now husband and I were at a wedding that Rob performed at. He was so good then that we agreed if we ever got married, we wanted him at our reception. A few years later, when we got engaged, Saxy Rob was the first vendor we booked. He did an AMAZING job and many of our guests are still talking about him. We highly recommend booking Saxy Rob for your wedding or any other event! He is INCREDIBLY talented and very personable! Oh, and did I mention he really is Saxy! (;

Saxy Rob is the definition of "life of the party" when it comes to having him at an event. My wife and I saw him at a wedding we attended a few years back and agreed that we MUST have him at ours! So we did, and he played during cocktail hour and the reception for our wedding - and did an absolutely amazing job! Worth every single penny. He is guaranteed to be a fun and exciting addition to any event, and ensure that your guests have an amazing time as well. He is the single aspect of our reception that our guests have RAVED about since! There are not enough words to describe how incredible he is and the show that he puts on. Everyone loves Saxy Rob, and everyone needs him at their events!

Rob made our event so fun! He was great to work with, sounded amazing and was so much fun. We were celebrating a birthday and didn't gather people together but wanted to have a special night. SaxyRob was a big part of making that possible.
Saxy Rob hands-down made our wedding reception! He was the absolute best and had guests out on the dance floor the whole night. He was great to work with and guests raved about him. Everyone loved him and even said how they would want him at their own event or wedding.

Since I was turning the big 50!!! I wanted to do something special for my party in the backyard and have live performances on stage in front of the firepit. The first person I thought of was Saxy Rob and more than a week later people are still talking about how great of a job he did and how wonderful the celebration was! I will DEFINITELY be booking Saxy Rob again.

Saxy Rob added a unique, sexy vibe to our outdoor rooftop wedding! We had to scale our wedding down drastically due to Covid, but still wanted that classic, elegant feel to the ceremony. Rob played a major role in making that happen!! Sooo talented!! I highly recommend for weddings or any intimate event in this new pandemic world! ! ❤️🎼🎷
Saxophone Player
We had a very small, intimate wedding (25 people). We didn’t have a DJ, a wedding planner, any fancy sound system, and we really didn’t know what to expect Rob to do without a bigger audience. WOW, were we blown away. All he needed was an outlet and a table, and he had us PARTYING! He’s the ultimate professional, entertainer, and artist. If you are considering booking Rob, stop thinking, just do it. Take it from us. Our reception wouldn’t have been the same without him and every one of our guests echoed that. He had the mood shifting from exciting to romantic all night. He even played along side our first dance music when we sprung it on him right before it happened. God bless you Rob, and thank you for everything!!!
Saxophone Player
If you are looking for an incredible sax player who is fun and personable, saxy rob is your guy. He did our wedding years ago and we still go watch him play to this day. When he gets going on his sax you will have no choice but to just smile as that smooth jazz sound fills your soul. Highly recommended!

The SaxyRob Experience just kind of speaks for itself!!! But, I’ll say some things anyhow!!
I had the epitome of the best day ever and Rob was certainly a cherry on top!!! I was told by almost every one of our wedding guests how unique and fantastic and fun Rob was during cocktail hour!! (I wish I could have been a part of that!!) Rob seamlessly fits right in to any and every type of music our DJ (Mobile Jams Entertainment) was playing and they jive together like brothers!! My favorite part of the night though, was when Rob accompanied our soloist and DJ for Andy’s and my first dance as husband and wife to “So This is Love” the Cinderella song and it was absolutely magical!! Rob had every single person out on the dance floor of every age!!! (He even taught my hubby a few dance moves!!)
I highly recommend SaxyRob- you won’t ever regret it or forget it!!!!! -Brittany and Andy <3

So I was a bride that obsessed over every detail of my wedding day and wanted the “perfect” day. SaxyRob helped make that happen! Not only is he a great musician, but he really brings the party. He was going around to tables and personally playing for them, bringing people out on the dance floor, being the best hype man you’ve ever seen! SaxyRob and Mobile Jams Entertainment was the best investment we made!

I don’t know where to begin! SaxyRob provided a night that none of our guests will soon forget. Not only does he play incredibly, his crowd involvement is second to none! From his signature look to his amazing moves, he will keep the party going! At least 6 guests had the opportunity to play his saxophone, wear his hat, and provided laughs that will last a lifetime! Our wedding was a booming success because of the amazing service Rob provided. I cannot thank him enough for giving us an unforgettable evening!

Saxy Rob played at my wedding and absolutely was stunning! He is way more than a saxophone musician, but an entertainer! He got the children dancing all the way up to my wife's 98 year old grandmother! He is more than a recommendation to make your event memorable and everlasting, he is a MUST!

We first heard Rob at a charity event in 2016. I turned to my fiancée (now wife) and said he would be great for our wedding reception. AND HE WAS! Rob is affordable, professional, organized, and most importantly he is NOTHING SHORY OF AMAZING! You better book him before he is no longer available! Thanks Rob! Cheers....

The most memorable night of my life. Rob totally blew my reception out of the water he managed to put together a five-piece band and they played so well together. I was at a restaurant where Rob was playing a couple years ago and I remember saying to my now husband I want that Sax Guy at my wedding and sure enough Saxy Rob was there to perform for my husband and I, I didn't even give Saxy Rob a playlist because I knew their performance would be the best performance anybody could ask for no matter what songs they played I knew they were going to be off the charts. He paired up with DJ Bob Hickman God did they know how to work together. At one point Rob and a couple of his band members including the DJ Bob would get out on the dance floor and started boogying with us it was so cool at one point in time Rob with his saxophone and his team player with the fiddle were going back and forth on the Dance Floor playing their music it was the most incredible thing ever the crowd was going they were yelling cheering dancing up and down thank God I had a videographer because when I get that video back I'm going to play this on my surround sound all night long if you are second-guessing having rob for your event you're going to make a big mistake you will not be disappointed. Rob we love you!!

From the ease of booking to the event planning and finally the Event itself Saxy Rob was a great addition to our Holiday Party. In a non typical venue of a big box retail store Rob did a great job of setting the atmosphere for a great event. Rob worked closely with our other vendors to ensure set up was professional and not distracting. His music selection was varied and had something for everyone mixed classic holiday favorites, todays hits and yesterdays favorites. Overall I would highly recommend booking Saxy Rob for your event whatever your venue Rob created a show atmosphere while not stealing the show from the planned event. We will be using Saxy Rob in future events and are happy to recommend him to others.

We booked SaxyRob for the cocktail hour at my daughters reception at the Historic Onesto without my daughter knowing. When she realized that SaxyRob was attending our event she was beyond excited. Jumping up and down and repeating "SaxyRob you're my surprise!!!!" SaxyRob is a favorite with all! He arrived on time, played his heart out (even joining the band for a song or two) and stayed at our event after he was finished playing because he knew my daughter would be happy if he did! Top notch-professional and saxy as well!!!

Saxy brought a great show to my son's 21st birthday party. It was awesome and worth every cent of what I paid for the live entertainment. My son will never forget all the fun he had for his 21st!!
