We booked Carlos to play at our mums 60th birthday party. Carlos arrived on time and was professional throughout. We loved how Carlos got involved with the guests at our party and mixed with the crowd during breaks and throughout performing and the birthday girl adored his performance. His music was outstanding and took any genre requests we had setting the mood. I would not hesitate to recommend Carlos and is a perfect fit to anyone looking to add some love music to their event. Thank you Carlos.

We used Carlos for our friends 40th. We couldn’t have asked for much more. He arrived well in time and even stayed longer than asked due to the birthday boy being late! His first set he welcomed guest into the venue playing upbeat songs, then as the evening progressed he came inside and played alongside the DJ and everyone LOVED IT. We let him do his own thing and judge the room and so glad we did. Definitely recommend x

Hi Carlos, Thank you for the great saxophone playing at our corporate Garden Party. We received loads of lovely comments from our guests, it really fitted the laid back summer vibes! You arrived in plenty of time, was very polite and courteous – will definitely recommend you! Sue

I called Carlos 2 weeks ago to ask if he was available for a surprise proposal party for my daughter. Carlos was charming - informed me that he did have availability, sent me song set list, discussed exactly what was required on the day. Arrived promptly - chatted with our guests, played beautifully. Cant thank him enough for making our party such a special occasion. Lauren Dobkins
